    +## Levels
    +
    +In the project we have multiple levels of contributors. They are, casual,
    +Google Summer of Code Student, Crazy Patch Writers, developers, and lead
    +developer.
    +
    +### Casual Contributors
    +
    +Casual contributors are the ones who may submit a patch here or there and will
    +help out users from time to time in a support capacity via either chat, email,
    +or the issue tracker. They could also be users that report bugs and typos to
    +us as well.
    +
    +### Google Summer of Code Students
    +
    +Google runs the [Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/) which we
    +have frequently participated in. Accepted students spend their summer working
    +with the developers on a pre-determined project. Due to the scope of their work,
    +Summer of Code students would need continue contibuting to the project to reach
    +the Crazy Patch Writer title.
    +
    +### Crazy Patch Writers
    +
    +Crazy Patch Writers are casual contributors who have gone above and beyond.
    +They are self motivated individuals who will submit bug fixes, implement new
    +features, and make it a point to make sure users are getting supported. There
    +is no magic threshold for when a casual contributor becomes a Crazy Patch
    +Writer, but you will know them when you see them because they are making a
    +positive impact for the project.
    +
    +### Developers
    +
    +Crazy Patch Writers that stay at it for long enough will typically be promoted
    +to a developer title. In the past this meant getting direct commit access to
    +the repositories, but that has since been discouraged once we implemented a
    +code review process. This makes the developer title more prestigious than
    +anything else today, but it does show the amount of effort that the contributor
    +has put in.
    +
    +Developers are also expected to help mentor other contributors. Whether that's
    +helping Crazy Patch Writers or mentoring Summer of Code students.
    +
    +### Lead Developers
    +
    +Typically the project has a sole lead developer. Their main responsibilties are
    +to drive the project forward, enable other contributors, as well as making the
    +project welcoming to new users and contributors alike.
    +
    +Recently this also includes producing the newly established quarterly State of
    +the Bird events as well.
