October Photo Directory Update – Make Photos

Welcome!

The WordPress Photo Directory is a directory of free, publicly-contributed, CC0-licensed photographs.

The Photo Directory team moderates every photo submitted to the directory, maintains and improves the directory site itself, and provides resources and documentation to educate, encourage, and facilitate photo contributors.

If you’re a new contributor, welcome! You can come chat with us in #Photos on SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/..

Stay tuned as we develop our contributor handbook. If you’ve encountered an issue or have a suggestion for the Photo Directory, feel free to create a ticket.

We encourage you to submit one or more of your best photos to our directory!

October is in the books! Time for an update on all things Photos.

We have added new members to the moderator team! Our goal is to moderate photos as quickly as we can. Please do remember we are all volunteers and work through the list as we are able to.

If you’d like to contribute photos to the directory, you can do that at WordPress.org/photos.

If you’d like to join the moderators team, you can do that at make.wordpress.org/photos/handbook/moderating-photos
