Expand for more information about each role 👀

• The content team lead is the chapter owner and responsible for setting the scope of the chapter and managing contributors' day-to-day progress.
• Authors are subject matter experts and lead the content direction for each chapter. Chapters typically have one or two authors. Authors are responsible for planning the outline of the chapter, analyzing stats and trends, and writing the annual report.
• Reviewers are also subject matter experts and assist authors with technical reviews during the planning, analyzing, and writing phases.
• Analysts are responsible for researching the stats and trends used throughout the Almanac. Analysts work closely with authors and reviewers during the planning phase to give direction on the types of stats that are possible from the dataset, and during the analyzing/writing phases to ensure that the stats are used correctly.
• Editors are technical writers who have a penchant for both technical and non-technical content correctness. Editors have a mastery of the English language and work closely with authors to help wordsmith content and ensure that everything fits together as a cohesive unit.
• The section coordinator is the overall owner for all chapters within a section like "User Experience" or "Page Content" and helps to keep each chapter on schedule.

Note: The time commitment for each role varies by the chapter's scope and complexity as well as the number of contributors.

For an overview of how the roles work together at each phase of the project, see the Chapter Lifecycle doc.

Hello! Happy to be a reviewer for this chapter. I have experience with reviewing previous editions of Web Almanac

[MichaelSolati]

Would be happy to contribute as an author, but would not want to take lead as an author.

Cool, thank you, @Schweinepriester!

[MichaelSolati]

I was hoping for more authors, lol, I'm not sure how well I'll be able to write this on my own. I hope some of the reviewers don't mind helping out a little... 🥹

[MichaelSolati]

@Schweinepriester can you send me an email on my profile. I'm gonna try to schedule a content planning session soon.

@webmaxru I'll loop you into this after I here from Kai, or if I don't I'll just email you by the end of the week.

@MichaelSolati can you please give an update? Since we have no analyst in this chapter, I can replicate the queries of 2022.
