Polyglots Handbook Reorganization Update

A big update on the Polyglots Handbook reorganization project!

Yesterday, @lidialab and I reordered the pages, according to the outline we shared. In other words, the Polyglots Handbook officially has a new look 🙂

At this point in our progress, there are seven remaining (small) tasks for the work to be considered 100% complete.

• We have three pages that are in progress and already have volunteers working on them.
• Two pages that have been rewritten, and need a volunteer to review them.
• Two pages that need a volunteer to review them for accuracy and to check if any information is out-of-date.

If you’re interested in helping with these final tasks, please sign up via the sign-up sheet or pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” myself or @lidialab with questions.

We’ve come a very long way on this project that we started just a few months ago. A big thank you and congratulations goes to the team that made this happen: @lidialab, @nao, @casiepa, @devinmaeztri, @psmits1567, @yordansoares, @nobnob, and @arpitgshah. If you see any of them in SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/.

As a reminder, the main focus of this project was: 1) to make sure all the pages in our Handbook are updated, and 2) to revise the workflow of the Handbook to help onboard new contributors (translators, PTEs/GTEs, global mentors, and PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

All the old permalinks should automatically redirect to the new, updated URLs. However, as you use the Handbook, if you have any feedback or if you notice anything that seems buggy, please do not hesitate to share feedback!
