Include the number of pledges in the pledge listing

Open dd32 opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

On https://wordpress.org/five-for-the-future/pledges/ it's easy to see the number of hours, but even when sorting by contributor count, you can't easily see the number each provide.

It would be nice to add the count of the contributors there. I haven't figured out a nice wording though.

Currently:

My Company has pledged 20 hours a week

Bad proposals:

My Company has pledged 2 people providing 20 hours a week My Company has pledged 20 hours a week over 2 people My Company has pledged 2 employees for a total of 20 hours a week

It feels a bit less awkward to me if we change has pledged to sponsors:

My Company sponsors 2 people to contribute 20 hours a week

...but these might also work:

My Company has pledged 20 hours a week, across 2 contributors My Company sponsors 20 hours a week, across 2 contributors

I don't feel strongly 🤷🏻

The "Sponsors" word choice is much better here, I was really struggling to work pledge into it - "Pledge" feel more future tense in this scenario to me, where as "Sponsors" is present.

My Company has pledged [to provide] 3 people for 10hrs [each] vs My Company sponsors 3 people to contribute 30 hours a week.
