GitHub Update
WP Training Team
The lesson plans are all in GitHub as separate repos The Training Team uses GitHub for working copies of lesson plans. You can find them at https://github.com/wptrainingteam..
- There’s a new “repo-template” repo that is meant to be an example of how to set up new lesson plan repos.
- The workflow for working on lesson plans has been tested and documented (somewhat). There’s information in Trello on the current workflow.

Lesson Plans in Focus
At the bottom of the https://wptrainingteam.github.io/ GitHub Page there were some ideas on how to combine lesson plans into workshops. The lessons for the “Welcome to WordPress” workshop are our current focus and will be used to further test our new tools and processes. Volunteers needed to help with those!
