[Community Announcement]Nov 17 Community growth and successful first-time contribution!

[junlincc]

Reposting Superset community weekly update from Slack channel.
At a high level, we’d like to share that @villebro(PMC and committer) and @srinify (Committer), and I will be focusing the majority of our time on supporting & growing the Superset community. Our specific short-term focus is to improve the experience of contributing to Superset.
We’d love to see a significant increase in first time contributions both code and non-code! If anyone else wants to partner with us on this effort please reach out to us or post in #contributing in Slack or comment in this thread.

To help us understand where we should invest our time & energy, we’d love for everyone here to fill out 🙏 this quick 1 minute survey.

To support this push to encourage more contributors, we’ll be posting this Community Update on a weekly basis. We will tee up the results and share our analysis & next steps in the next community update (next week!).

Here are some areas we think need improvement:

• Documentation (auditing state of docs, adding better docs versioning, adding search, consolidating docs, etc)
• Better developer experience (monorepo will help, but there’s more to do!)
• More frequent contributor onboarding focused Meetups
• Faster time to review & help resolve issues in PR’s
