WordPress Contributor Dashboard

Visualize and track WordPress contributor activity across the community.

This dashboard responds to long-standing community requests for better visibility into contributor journeys—how people join, participate, and grow across Make teams.

The contributor ladder framework maps activity into stages based on behavior patterns over time. It does not rank contributors or imply that some contributions matter more than others.

Key features:

Track contributions across event types
Visualize progression through contributor ladders
Identify active, at-risk, and inactive contributors
Compare year-over-year trends
