I asked perplexity.ai:

What needs to be done to start a GatherPress outreach program, following the FSE outreach program lead by Anne McCarthy?

—-

To start a GatherPress outreach program similar to the Full Site Editing (FSE) outreach program led by Anne McCarthy, let us consider the following steps:

Program Structure

  • 1. Establish clear goals and objectives for the GatherPress outreach program, focusing on gathering feedback and improving the plugin.
  • 2. Create a schedule for regular testing calls, similar to the FSE program's "calls for testing."
  • 3. Develop a communication plan to reach potential participants and share results.

Testing Framework

  • 1. Design structured testing scenarios that cover key GatherPress features and workflows.
  • 2. Create detailed testing instructions and guidelines for participants.
  • 3. Set up a feedback collection system, possibly using forms or dedicated discussion channels.

Community Engagement

  • 1. Recruit a diverse group of testers, including event organizers, contributors, and general WordPress users.
  • 2. Establish a dedicated Slack channel or forum for program participants to discuss and share experiences.
  • 3. Consider offering incentives or recognition for active participants.

Documentation and Reporting

  • 1. Document all testing results, feedback, and insights gathered during the program.
  • 2. Prepare regular reports summarizing findings and recommendations for the GatherPress development team.
  • 3. Share progress updates with the wider WordPress community through blog posts or newsletters.

Collaboration with Developers

  • 1. Establish a direct line of communication between the outreach program and GatherPress developers.
  • 2. Regularly review feedback with the development team to prioritize improvements and new features.
  • 3. Involve developers in testing calls or Q&A sessions to provide technical insights.

Expansion and Iteration

  • 1. Start with a pilot program and gradually expand its scope based on initial results.
  • 2. Continuously refine the testing process and program structure based on participant feedback.
  • 3. Consider expanding the program to include testing of GatherPress integrations with other WordPress tools and plugins.

By following these steps and learning from the successful FSE outreach program, you can create an effective GatherPress outreach program that contributes to the plugin's development and adoption within the WordPress community[1][2].
