Lesson Plan Updates

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.

Testing Updates

  • @coachwp’s program starts on March 8th. This program is for kids and features 6 sessions once a month.
  • Morgan Estes is testing Choosing and Installing Themes with the Oklahoma City meetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/.
