Recap of March 14, 2017 meeting

Lesson Plan Update

None.

Copyediting

@Donkiely said the Themes/Plugins Relationship lesson plan (https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/theme-school/themesplugins-relationship/) is copyedited but really needs someone knowledgeable in the subject to go over it. The LP seems more like an outline than a finished product.

@coachwp agreed. Paul and I worked on that and it might need more information.

@chantaboune volunteered to take a look at it.

@donkiely copyediting site performance LP.

Question regarding customizing headerHeader The header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes. and background images and if it had been edited. @skarjune had fixed some problem found earlier and @estes.chris went over it as copyeditor.

Testing Updates

@coachwp did High Level Overview and One Touch Install using Bluehost and both went well. Question is being written up by @melindahelt.

Q&A/Announcements

@chanthaboune asked if we should be working to help create some movement around learn.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/ work. @bethsoderberg replied: I think it would be super helpful if people workshopped a plan around how to present the completed lesson plans, perhaps a list of suggested workshops or a new teacher’s guide, etc.

@melindahelt pointed out that TrelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing. cards can’t be edited. Thought is that it may be because people have to be granted membership, which is limited in free version. @melindahelt and @bethsoderberg will research further.

@melindahelt wondered if we would move the meeting due to DST.

Voted to vote. Discussion switched to audit of discussion times for everyone. Final decision was to meet at the same time DST.
