Overview
Joining WARG as a UW student is as easy and frictionless as possible. This document outlines the ideal process for this! If you’re a lead please make sure your stuff complies with this and ask questions if you don't understand why something is the way that it is.
Administration
The maintenance and orchestration of the new user join experience is managed by WARG leads.
The Process
Discovery
Ideally we are discovered via Discord advertisements, real life posters, word of mouth, or any other means. All of which should funnel people to our website’s join page https://www.uwarg.com/join which we have QR codes for and should be linking to in all advertisements.
Website
The website https://www.uwarg.com/join provides some information about the team, an explanation of our bootcamp system, and then an link into our discord server (the link to the discord server is not provided here to avoid confusion). For information about our discord invite please see Discord Invite .
Verification
When a new user joins the server, they are prompted by the welcome message to check the onboarding channel, which contains instructions to join as a full member. The New Bootcamper role is automatically assigned to them by a bot.
Only the Landing category is available to view, and the only action possible to proceed is verification.
Bootcamp
After verification, the Information and General categories are available to the user. All other categories continue to be hidden, including subteam categories. Self-assignable subteam bootcamper roles reveal the respective subteam category, including the subteam bootcamp channel.
Following verification they in discord they can see a link to Bootcamper Onboarding . This has instructions to direct them to starting a subteam bootcamp. Once the user starts the bootcamp it is indicated when they post a message in a subteam bootcamp channel.
Bootcamper Onboarding links to https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BOOT/pages/569147509?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiOTRhOWM5N2M1ZDJkNDA0YTg4MGZlMjM1ZTMyOWMxNWQiLCJwIjoiYyJ9 where people find and then complete the subteam specific bootcamp.
Member
Upon completion of the sub-team’s bootcamp, the user pings the appropriate subteam leads to remove the New Bootcamper role and to request access to non-Discord WARG tools.
Further the Bootcamper Onboarding document, leads, and the subteam specific bootcamp should direct them to https://uwarg-docs.atlassian.net/l/cp/N8Kd6UPC which contains general information and then the subpages contains subteam specific new member onboarding information
Pitfalls
These are some things that should be avoided when leads are setting up their new member process.
Ensure bootcamp is in the proper space.
Ensure onboarding information is in the proper section of admin space and subteam specific information is given as a subpage.
Use the archive feature to hide previous information from new bootcamper.
Leads must read this document to understand the intended flow and ensure their subteam complies to avoid confusion.
