Today, our users come from a wide +variety of backgrounds, experiences, and expectations. The needs +of users are growing faster than the Go project can currently address +them. To streamline the experience for first-time Go users, +we've created the Developer eXperience Working Group (DXWG). + +For the next three months, this group will work together on delivering: + +- improvements to the Go installation experience +- better guidelines to help new users +- guides on tooling and developer environments (editors and IDEs) +- running user studies to systematically analyze and measure friction points +- improvements to the [[https://tour.golang.org/][Go Tour]] and [[https://play.golang.org/][Go Playground]] + +A secondary goal of the working group is to better understand how to +involve the Go community in charting Go’s future. We hope that working +groups – Go team members working alongside community members – will +help Go scale its leadership and address user needs. We’ll learn +from this experience and iterate. + +The initial members of the working group are: +Carmen Andoh, Chris Broadfoot, Francesc Campoy, Jaana Burcu Dogan, +Steve Francia, Jess Frazelle, Bill Kennedy, Katrina Owen, Natalie +Pistunovich, Mat Ryer, Dmitry Shuralyov. + +We are looking for additional people to help with contributing +code, writing documentation, sharing feedback and experiences +(user stories), reviewing contributions, and more. If you are +interested in any of our current areas of focus, please join +us on the [[https://gophers.slack.com/archives/devexp][#devexp]] channel on the +[[https://invite.slack.golangbridge.org/][Gophers Slack]] and subscribe to the +[[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-devexp][golang-devexp]] +mailing list. |
