2. News
GitHub 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/ automation updates :
Take a look at the Github beta project here, you can swap between Beta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. and regular projects. We use GitHub projects to track website development, content development, and team administration. We received access to Projects Beta, and we have started to move our Content Development over. We are next working on actions and automation.
What we want to have is that if someone submits a lesson plan or workshop, then the next group of people that are to review that would be pinged, with a checklist of what to look for.
Copyeditor checklist
We will be relaunching who is interested/willing to contribute to various team roles soon, including those that want to copy edit and organise within GitHub teams to use notifications there for this activity.
Before moving to GitHub, we had these organized in Trello 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.. We’re working to move these to GitHub, which will later help us organize those call-ins on the contribution
This is an unpublished page, but ready for the team to see on a public preview link. Thanks to @Destiny for the revision so far. We’re still having some conversations about linking to the GitHub issues for the list, so stay tuned for more info.
Specifically, the form is not GDPR compliant and everyone is concerned about, who owns the account where the data is stored?
@Destiny has looked into some options for surveys and in the past, we seem to have used Crowdsignal (although that is Automattic owned). The plugin 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 is currently disabled on Learn.
#marketing has also suggested SurveyMonkey and SmartSurvey but there is no official tool used by the team. @Angela Jin is checking to see what we use for WordCamps (it may be Crowdsignal).
Needs Analysis working group
We are still working to build the thorough Needs Analysis per how organizations would anticipate this type of a survey, and the value it would be for them.

We are in sync with #polyglots and #marketing for naming suggestions for lesson plans, workshops, and SLS (Social learning spaces). It needs brainstorming. We are thinking to start a poll and we will soon work on it.
