1. What work did the SIG do this year that should be highlighted?
- SIG Docs put meaningful effort into growing its contributor and reviewer base in 2021, introducing a shadow program for PR Wrangling as well as dedicating more time to being active via our Slack community channel. This is an ongoing effort to grow our contributor base to a stable number, alongside easing the burden on our small group of reviewers and approvers.

This is an ongoing effort to grow our contributor base to a stable number, alongside easing the burden on our small group of reviewers and approvers.
- Alongside growing our contributor base, SIG Docs also worked on a leadership transition strategy to bring community members into leadership roles. Via a specialized six month mentorship program expertly led by Steering Committee member Paris Pittman, SIG Docs was able to grow its leadership cohort for the main SIG, as well as some of its subgroups, adding new co-chairs and tech leads.

2. What initiatives are you working on that aren't being tracked in KEPs?
- Localization Subproject: SIG Docs is working on formalizing the localization work that has been ongoing for some time, with appointed leads of this initiative as well as recognizing the contributions of various community members across the different languages the Kubernetes website has been translated into. This subproject will be finalized by Q1 2022, with all active localizations informed and updated.
- New Contributor Ambassador Program: As a continuation of our push to grow the SIG Docs contributor base, we're working on a specalized role that aims to support new and would-be contributors get up to speed with our processes and workflows. This role would be capped at six months for it to be shared amongst the community, with this feeding into a possible reviewer funnel as contributors get more comfortable with providing feedback to others.

does your [CONTRIBUTING.md] document those to help **existing** contributors grow throughout the [contributor ladder]?
- We have a [well-documented guide](https://kubernetes.io/docs/contribute/) that details how folks can get started and the various ways in which they can scale the contributor ladder.
- We actively assign good-first-issue labels to issues that we think early-lifecycle contributors could begin with. During KubeCons we also do introduction presentations and mentoring sessions to try and funnel contributors in to our SIG.

6. Are there ways end users/companies can contribute that they currently are not?
If one of those ways is more full time support, what would they work on and why?
- We're in the process of formalizing the localization subproject. We aim for it to, potentially, provide more avenues for contribution. More details around leadership for the localization supbproject can be found in [this message](https://groups.google.com/a/kubernetes.io/g/dev/c/SP6weMvx3wg/m/l8LAL-OFCQAJ) sent to dev@kubernetes.io
- With a contributor base that is spread globally, SIG Docs identified a potential opportunity for diversifying our documentation via multiple language support. Given the wide audience, this helps in making it more inclusive and user friendly for non-native English users of Kubernetes. Towards formalizing this ongoing initiative, SIG Docs will be finalizing it as a [localization subproject](https://github.com/kubernetes/website/issues/31955). We aim for the subproject to, potentially, provide more avenues for contribution.
