It sounds cool. However what does an outreach community do/accomplish? You mean trying to help more people learn about webpack? |

@TheLarkInn I would like to take this if no one has taken it, but as @IAMtheIAM pointed out what should an "outreach community do/accomplish" ? Thanks |

Ahhh sorry for the delay on this. Okay so this is about working to help elevate the opportunities of those who might not feel they are worthy or equipped to contribute, and to help them on board. What's great is that if you have less experience it's a really great way to learn through teaching. I'll try and follow up with this some more. |

Is this still active? I would love to know more about this, if it is still an issue! |

I think we can do the same for India as well, I can see many Indian developers around. |
Successfully we were able to help start and perpetuate a community for China for webpack. It's been extremely successful and we continue to see their traffic as 2nd to USA in docs, and repo page visitors.
However it came to our attention on twitter that we could maybe be doing more. I'm all for equality as access to opportunity, and furthermore since all of us have little to no bandwidth, we'd want to find a group of developers/advocates who are willing to lead the initiative. First step would simply be to create the guidelines for how one would approach this outreach.
