Now that I’ve opened up the project and warned you that I’m reporting from the middle it’s time to meet the editorial calendar plugin for WordPress team.
I’ve worked with some of the people on this team before, but most of them have worked together without me. We span two countries and a few hundred miles. There are programmers, designers, project administrators, and expert bloggers. We’ll come together to create a cohesive team.
The first part of building a team is understanding the players. Everyone comes with different backgrounds and different expectations. Some of us are volunteers and others are getting paid. I’ll talk a little more about that later.
Let’s meet our team.
