Developer Community and Content Strategy

"npm loves you" as a service

Summary

npm believes it's highest value proposition emerges from its community, from open source code contributions to published pacakges in the Registry. In order to succeed, npm needs to continue to grow its community by fostering a greater sense of ownership. We aim to accomplish this by:

  • lowering the barrier to entry for open source contributors
  • improving technical understanding through education and documentation
  • strengthening interpersonal connections through events, meetups, and conferences

Assumptions

  • our products' success in open source is good marketing for our paid products
  • the educated consumer will choose us above competitors
  • documentation is a product feature
  • community is a product feature

2016 Goals

  • new documentation site with a focus on audience-specific goal-driven guides
  • sponsor and perform pre-conference trainings at all Node Live events
  • "office hours" monthly educational event, free and open to the public
  • npm camp conference to celebrate community contributions
  • 100% documentation of all product features
