About this plugin
Contributor Team Matcher presents contributors with a short quiz and uses a tag-based scoring algorithm to recommend the Make WordPress contribution team that best fits their profile. The top match is displayed as a prominent card; four runner-up teams are shown below it.
The plugin is fully configurable from the WordPress admin — questions, answers, teams, and tag weights can all be edited, added, or removed without touching code.
How the matching algorithm works
- The contributor answers all quiz questions.
- Each selected answer contributes a list of tags to a shared pool.
- Tags are tallied (duplicates increase the count).
- Every team is scored: score += tag_weight x tag_count for each matching tag.
- Teams are sorted by score. The highest scorer is the primary recommendation; the next four are shown as secondary suggestions.
Default teams
The plugin ships with 19 Make WordPress contribution teams: Core, Design, Accessibility, Polyglots, Support, Documentation, Themes, Community, Training, Test, TV, CLI, Hosting, Openverse, Photos, Core Performance, Playground, Core AI, and Core Program.
