The Drupal.org Content Working Group (DCWG) is one of the groups recently chartered by the Drupal Association as part of its ongoing governance initiative for Drupal.org.

The mission of DCWG, as outlined in our charter (https://drupal.org/node/2001502), is, “to make sure that the content on Drupal.org websites is compelling, well-curated, and relevant for all of its various target audiences and supports a content marketing strategy that serves site visitors and generates revenue to make Drupal.org sustainable.”

From a practical standpoint, this means that DCWG in collaboration with the community and the Drupal Association will develop, manage, and maintain the overall content strategy for Drupal.org and its associated sites, define policies to support that strategy, and oversee the look-and-feel and voice of the website.

The group meets monthly and provides regular reports on its activities to both the Drupal Association board and the community at large. The notes and minutes from our meetings are posted at https://drupal.org/node/2001514

The current members of DCWG are:

• Megan Sanicki (megansanicki)
• Tatiana Ugriumova (tvn)
• Jeff Eaton (eaton)
• Roy Scholten (yoroy)
• George DeMet (gdemet), Chair

For the remainder of 2013, the group’s initial focus will be:

• Identify the primary audiences for Drupal.org and their content needs
• Develop a landing page concept to aggregate and link to content specific to each audience
• Help define some of the policies that govern content and users on Drupal.org.

As we move forward into 2014, DCWG will work on developing a comprehensive and long-term content strategy, design system, and information architecture for Drupal.org. This will be a large project, and will undoubtedly involve greater community participation.

Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or comments. In addition to contacting us directly, you can also flag issues for us in the Drupal.org content issue queue (https://drupal.org/project/issues/content) and some of us are occasionally available on IRC in #drupalorg.
