Meeting Recap

This week’s meeting format was a bit different, with topics shared for asynchronous input.

Updates

@paaljoachim shared a fix for a bug in the code 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. on the Workshops post type.

April content sprint

For April, the goal is to publish the following lesson plans:

For those without owners in the 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. board, volunteers are needed and welcome.

Likewise, the team is also looking for a volunteer to help review the lesson plans on the Learn WordPress site to check quizzes for any formatting errors that may have been introduced during the import process.

April functionality goals

The team is currently working on:

  • Developing a layout in the block editor for the /lesson-plans landing page.
  • Team contributor roles and the contributor ladder

@evarlese and @azhiyadev are working on a post for the second item and are hoping to publish that soon.

Discussion – Activity stream and badging

@carike shared a proposal to use Lesson Plan and Workshop revision history to hook into WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ profiles. The idea is to include revisionsRevisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision. history in the WordPress.org profile activity stream to help make contributions more visible.

Likewise, this could potentially be used to automate providing badges to both Learn Workshop contributors and Training team contributors.

@iandunn created a ticket to automatically recognize contributions on profiles to identify what should be tracked and how that ties into badges, as well.
