## Contributor Ladder

We believe every contributor has the potential to become a WasmEdge maintainer, and we're genuinely excited about welcoming new maintainers to our community! Our current maintainers all started as contributors, and we'd love to see you follow the same path.

We've designed a clear progression path that recognizes your growing expertise and contributions. For complete details on contributor roles and how to advance from contributor to maintainer, please check out our [Contributor Ladder](https://github.com/WasmEdge/WasmEdge/blob/master/docs/CONTRIBUTOR_LADDER.md)).

Your journey to becoming a maintainer starts with your first contribution - we can't wait to see where it leads!
