Description
I am proposing the creation of some additional profile badges for the Polyglots team.
Currently, the Polyglots profile badges consist of:
- Translation Contributor
- Translation Editor
There are however more roles within the Polyglots team, and it would be nice to recognise the additional effort that these individuals put in to co-ordinate the internationalisation of WordPress.
Right now, the highest level of badge is Translation Editor, and this is applied to users who may be a Project Translation Editor (i.e. one plugin/theme) in a single locale, or it may be a Global Mentor - there's no distinction.
In order of seniority, lowest to highest, the other roles are:
- Locale Manager: Responsible for an entire locale, recruiting editors, and Rosetta.
- Team Representative: To my knowledge, not a 'role' from a technical standpoint, so would need to be manually assigned.
- Global Mentor: Oversight on all locales. Administrator-esque.
Users within these roles typically include it in their WordPress.org profile (and Slack) bios, so it would make sense to me to automate that with a WordPress.org profile badge.
I've created a mockup of how the badges could look and attached it to this ticket.
I am however aware of the fact that most of the other teams only have two roles, typically Contributor and Team, so I would understand if this creates an imbalance that is not welcome.
