Initiatives are larger projects for the current development release that are intended to re-architect or otherwise improve large areas of the Drupal core code-base, or add major new features. Each initiative has coordinators, who act as project managers and community leaders to guide the team of initiative contributors.
For more about these roles, see the Drupal core maintainers page; to see who currently holds these positions, see the core/MAINTAINERS.txt file in the latest development version of Drupal core.
- Coordinate work on the initiative.
- Communicate the plans, progress, and needs of the initiative to the community and the other maintainers.
