What are the categories that will create meaningful project pages that design for participation?

Question we are trying to answer: How can I get involved in a project/team, or how I can stay informed about the progress of a project/team.

Every project needs to provide

• An explanation of meeting times, channels, phone numbers, etc
• Listing of informal communication channels (like IRC/IM, other types of chat)
• Places where decisions are documented
• Channels for decision making, where do they make decisions?
• Where do they have asynchronous discussions (eg. mailing lists, forums)
• Where are they tracking bugs? Where can people file bugs?
• Where is the roadmap/project plan/time line/backlog/?
• How to contact the team if team meetings are happening outside of my time zone.
• A list of participants in the project, with responsible and accountable roles (with explanation: only high profile roles not everyone)
• A list of (or a link to) publicly accessible meeting notes
• Where can people see what's being worked on right now?

Who should we be addressing?

Mid level teams (mostly people who report to VPs), and let them give us their projects with those details. Example: instead of asking the platform team within SUMO or the large Engagement team, we would ask the head of SUMO to give us the projects they are working on and the details we need for them.
