I am not quite ready to directly contribute to Exercism, but I have some questions for if/when I do. What is the difference between a contributor and maintainer? How should someone begin to contribute? Does one start out as one and then sometimes move to the other? Is there a preferred process for all this?
Thanks
A contributor is anyone that contributes to the Exercism community. You can contribute by publishing solutions, mentoring, or helping build Exercism with PRs. See more about contributors.
Maintainers are the select few people that maintain specific tracks. For example, Python, one of our most popular tracks, is maintained by BethanyG. Becoming a maintainer is a bit of a commitment. See more about maintainers.
