+   -
+   -
+   -
+
+3. Does your [CONTRIBUTING.md] help **new** contributors engage with your group specifically by pointing
+   to activities or programs that provide useful context or allow easy participation?
+
+   -
+
+4. If your group has special training, requirements for reviewers/approvers, or processes beyond the general [contributor guide],
+   does your [CONTRIBUTING.md] document those to help **existing** contributors grow throughout the [contributor ladder]?
+
+   -
+
+5. Does the group have contributors from multiple companies/affiliations?
+
+   -
+
+6. Are there ways end users/companies can contribute that they currently are not?
