Lesson Plan Updates

@juliekuehl got @vmarie and @asathoor set up with lesson templates
@donkiely is still working on the Woo lesson

Copyediting Updates

@bethsoderberg has an audit update. There are a few lessons that we’re missing updates on. Current Trello board: https://trello.com/b/zFnkQF91/wordpress-training-team-copyediting-flow
- Let’s do a better job of sending links to lessons when we talk about them in chat.
@esteschris, @vmarie is also interested, @donkiely, and @meaganhanes are in need of new lessons for copyediting.
@esteschris: Copyediting is done on https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/theme-school/customizer-header-and-background-images/ and had questions about how to make images available for everyone. Chris will confirm all necessary changes are made.
- Once we’ve edited it, do we move it on the board?
- No, let’s do it in the weekly check-ins (either Slack or on the agenda post) so that it’s all tracked in one place.
