Both would probably be useful, but I was more thinking of the latter, in terms of motivation to contribute. I got the idea on feverbee ;-) Chris Mills Opera Software, dev.opera.com W3C Fellow, web education and webplatform.org Author of "Practical CSS3: Develop and Design" (http://goo.gl/AKf9M) On 9 May 2013, at 00:23, Janet Swisher <jswisher@mozilla.com> wrote: > I added this item: > > * Benefits of contributing to WPD are articulated and are communicated to new members. > > But can you give me an idea of what kinds of benefits and perks you're thinking of? > > Is it intangibles like: > * Learn about web standards technologies as you help document them > * Feel satisfaction from knowing you're contributing to improving the state of web standards documentation for all web developers > * Build relationships with an international open team of webdev and techcom professionals > > Or things like: > * Earn nifty badges > * Score cool swag > ? > > --Janet > > > On 5/8/13 4:18 AM, Chris Mills wrote: >> Looks good Janet.

It seems a little weird to use a label like "Beta" for a community, but I'm taking it mean that the community is moving from the "inception" stage to the "establishment" stage of the community life cycle.
