Create short page "who's behind drupal ladder" [#1751392]

Problem/Motivation

In a comprehensive survey, Lisa rex identified that it's best practice to let contributors know "who" is behind a project. So - in the short term we need a brief page about the contributors.

Proposed resolution

Heather will write a one line sumary of each individual on the current steering committee- and what they are responsible for. And how to contact them - such as IRC handles, twitter and d.o contact form if possible.

Remaining tasks

As above!

However, Bryan will do a write-up about the steering committee itself.

Drafted copy of this page. I think Bryan is writing up the "About the steering community" text, but I'm going to get this on the site ASAP.

START COPY

The Drupal Ladder project is open to contributions and collaboration from anyone. To help coordinate and mentor contributor's activity, the folks who were most active on the project have formed a steering group that will meet consistently each week to report on progress and keep the momentum going. The steering group helps distribute effort in 4 main areas, with mentors assigned to each area.

The distribution
Ladders and lessons
Learning sprints
Issue sprints
