If anyone is interested, please let us know and we can assign you to a card.

@paaljoachim has setup a local dev environment with the help of @sarmstead and they are working on a workshop as well “Testing track tickets and GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ issues

  1. Making a layout for /lesson-plans
    @courane01 and @azhiyadev still need to meet to go through this, @paaljiochim offered help and he will work on a draft page for it.
  2. Invites for stakeholders
    #marketing team busy with and taking time due to COVID we’ve put this on hold. @azhiyadev proposed this to our April Sprint.

Imported Quizzes :

Some of our quizzes were not correctly imported from GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/, need line breaks and a few questions are confusing. We propose doing an audit to clean this up.

If you are new and want to get involved in Training, this is a fairly easy thing to do.

@webtechpooja audited Quizzes on a few lesson plans and found some updates required, she will update the status on the Lesson plan using edit workflow.

Feedback Required:

Revisiting Learn WordPress Workshop Application Vetting Process 

@azhiyadev said – There are some good proposals there and I would encourage the team to read the post and comment

Open Discussions:

@courane01 said: I am so thankful for all the lesson plans on Learn. My own bootcamp is using these, and I know now of 2 other groups that may as well. Having these plans for instructors with quiz questions is super helpful.

 And @corane01 is planning to create some map sequence for lesson plan.

@azhiyadev can’t wait what @couane01 will come up with.

@courane01 said: If folks are interested in helping sequence this and have a suggested tool that would be collaborative, open-source, and features of curriculum mapping (Google that – it’s a thing in the education space) …. please let me know. Otherwise, I’ll likely run with Notion. so to create this version.

@courane01 said: I am also seeking informal info about how much PHPPHP PHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. http://php.net/manual/en/intro-whatis.php./JS that an entry level dev needs. What should training providers aim for, linked to MDN/PHP.net

@oglekler said: There are builders who just making sites like a constructor will little CSSCSS CSS is an acronym for cascading style sheets. This is what controls the design or look and feel of a site., so, it’s an entry level.

@courane01 said: Right, our program teaches builder tools briefly. Our expected proficiency is a starter theme, simple pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party, simple blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience..  The training vids we use provide the PHP tags. But if someone has to build without a page builder, they may need a bit more than template tags and such.  An actual amount of PHP and MySQLMySQL MySQL is a relational database management system. A database is a structured collection of data where content, configuration and other options are stored. https://www.mysql.com/. is expected on job applications for jr devs, without clarification on how much training.
