We can use this list to try to maintain reasonably consistent phrasing in our explanations, code in our examples, and references in our various resources lists:

I’d take the WordPress.comWordPress.com An online implementation of WordPress code that lets you immediately access a new WordPress environment to publish your content. WordPress.com is a private company owned by Automattic that hosts the largest multisite in the world. This is arguably the best place to start blogging if you have never touched WordPress before. https://wordpress.com/ support document out of this list; that document is controlled by Automattic, and is completely out of our hands. Also, can you provide a definition of what you mean by “WordPress-made”?

  WP.com resource removed. “Wp-made” rephrased. What I mean is: all the a11yAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) resources at WP.org sites, plus the two g-docs for planning a11y resources at WP; i.e., any pages we might find similar language or lists that we may want to keep consistent. (It’s mainly these pages, BTW, from which I’m pulling language and topics fro the Quick Start Guide.)

    Thanks; I’m still not clear what the definition of “WP-made” resources is; it’s not written above, that I can see. I’m mostly asking because there are at least 2 resources up there that are my personal projects: Access Monitor and WP AccessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility). They’re certainly dedicated to WordPress, but they aren’t “WordPress Made” in any meaningful way.

      It doesn’t say “WP-made” anymore. Says: “Here’s a collection of all the A11yAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities.
