I also opened up the document to allow editing. Tell me your thoughts.
Thank you @bsnodgrass for the feedback and clarification. You make an good point about focusing on a survey at first - their experience is quite different from the pre-D8 era.
Would you like me to draft some survey questions to help understand their journey?
I've developed an initial roadmap for onboarding a inexperienced Drupal developer. The document aims to break down the areas outlined in nireneko's → mind map into stages, from foundational web technologies and essential tools to advanced backend development and specialized topics, providing inexperienced developers with a structured approach to fast-tracking the Drupal ecosystem.
You can review the full roadmap here: IXP Roadmap
Recommended Next Steps
- - Refine roadmap and confirm on stages
- - Develop each stage to expand on the objectives and expected outcomes
- - Develop a delivery method and how this integrates into any data tracking
Following discussions with Carlos → and Mike → about improving developer onboarding in the Drupal community, I've created a document to capture the experiences of new Drupal developers entering our ecosystem.
This aims to understand the IXP Fellowship by investigating:
- Successful pathways into Drupal development
- Effective learning methods for Drupal-specific skills
- Critical challenges faced by new developers
- Most impactful mentorship approaches
- Strategies for transitioning from learning to active contribution

Core research goals:
- Understand the learning journey of new Drupal developers
- Identify and address barriers in the Drupal contribution process
- Map skill development trajectories for junior developers
- Develop more effective community support mechanisms
