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 by the repository owner. 󠀁[https://github.com/](https://github.com/)󠁿 Automation updates Take a look at the [Github beta project](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/projects?type=beta) here, you can swap between Beta 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](https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/blob/trunk/.github/revision/copyediting.md)󠁿** We will be relaunching who is interested/willing to contribute to various [team roles](https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/about/team-roles/) soon, including those that want to copy edit, and organise within GitHub teams to use notifications there for this activity. ### Individual Learn Survey Update We’ve had some queries around the [Individual Learner Survey](https://learn.wordpress.org/individual-learner-survey/) specifically the form not being GDPR compliant and who owns the account where the data is stored. After further investigation, we can confirm that we will be migrating the Google form and utilising the Crowdsignal 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.

Thanks to [@piyopiyofox](https://profiles.wordpress.org/piyopiyofox/) for her work on this. ### 󠀁[Needs Analysis working group poll](https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/eElWZWKd)󠁿 [@piyopiyofox](https://profiles.wordpress.org/piyopiyofox/) has pinged a couple of key members to provide their availability. ### Naming suggestions for lesson plans, workshops, and social learning spaces [@hlashbrooke](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hlashbrooke/) has [published a post on this](https://make.wordpress.org/training/2022/07/03/discussion-naming-content-types-on-learn-wordpress/), where the community can suggest names for the above and we can also run a poll for some ideas. ### Tracking Social Learning Spaces To avoid duplication and provide a holistic view of all the topics being covered, it has been suggested that we should bring the tracking of social learning spaces into GitHub. This would not replace MeetUpMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through [https://www.meetup.com/](https://www.meetup.com/). A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you find options in your area. but allow us to keep track of all the topics and enable us to better track team contributions. * [@caraya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/caraya/) suggested a Google Calendar or similar tool * [@piyopiyofox](https://profiles.wordpress.org/piyopiyofox/) pointed out that we do already use a calendar at https://learn.wordpress.org/social-learning * [@azhiyadev](https://profiles.wordpress.org/azhiyadev/) and [@webtechpooja](https://profiles.wordpress.org/webtechpooja/) agree that tracking SLS in GitHub along with lesson plans and workshops makes sense ### **Opinions sought:** Table of Contents Table of Contents 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. as a quick test on Learn WordPress.
