Contributor Team Matcher

Contributor Team Matcher presents contributors with a short quiz and uses a tag-based scoring algorithm to recommend the Make WordPress contribution team that best fits their profile. The top match is displayed as a prominent card; four runner-up teams are shown below it.

The plugin is fully configurable from the WordPress admin — questions, answers, teams, and tag weights can all be edited, added, or removed without touching code.

How the matching algorithm works

1. The contributor answers all quiz questions.
2. Each selected answer contributes a list of tags to a shared pool.
3. Tags are tallied (duplicates increase the count).
4. Every team is scored: score += tag_weight x tag_count for each matching tag.
5. Teams are sorted by score. The highest scorer is the primary recommendation; the next four are shown as secondary suggestions.

Default teams

The plugin ships with 19 Make WordPress contribution teams: Core, Design, Accessibility, Polyglots, Support, Documentation, Themes, Community, Training, Test, TV, CLI, Hosting, Openverse, Photos, Core Performance, Playground, Core AI, and Core Program.
