Project Details

1. Custom 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/ 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. development

Proposing custom Gutenberg blocks for meeting recap notes, faculty meetings, onboarding posts, etc. This will help to speed up adding/editing the content part.
The idea is to give the simplest user interface for adding required data for meeting recap notes, agenda posts, etc in no time. This will also encourage new contributors to create and work on posts.

2. Adding SEO MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. fields.

Coordinating with codebase team members and adding meta fields for every post and page for training and learn websites.
This feature is going to be completely customizable without utilizing any plugins.

3. Adding language switcher menu for translated pages/posts.

Setting up and enabling language switcher options somewhere in headerHeader The header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes. and footer navigation for learn and training websites. This will help to map same content with their language variations.
This will enable quicker navigation and engage users to find quickly what they are looking for.

I’m excited to see this project kick-off.

There are a couple of open tickets related to language switching, that would be good to group under this project.

Add language filtering option for lesson plans

Use locale switcher selection to filter content

Prioritise content based on site locale switcher

As far as I know, @adamwood has been working on these, so it would be a good idea to check in with him about what still needs to be done there.

For the SEO Work, there’s been a lot of discussions on this issue, so it would be good to continue there.
- Adam Wood 9:17 pm on April 18, 2023
  
  I’m about to start work on filtering lesson plans by language.
  
  The other 2 tickets were duplicates so I’ve closed one. Use locale switcher selection to prioritise content remains open and unassigned.
  - Amit Patel 12:29 pm on May 29, 2023
    
    Thanks @adam. Please let me know once your tasks are completed. Since locale switcher selection remains unassigned. I would like to assign that to few members who wishes to work on that point.

IMH opinion – Instead of creating blocks for Recap notes, it would be a nice idea to use 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. patterns. Right now, we are using reusable blocks, which is also a good option. I think we should reconsider creating a dedicated 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/ block, Block patterns work best in this scenario.
Here is an example we have created block patterns for Lesson plans.
https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/pull/979
This Lesson plan block pattern idea was suggested and initiated by @courane01. That is super helpful too.
I hope it will give you a more clear picture of what I am trying to say.

And the other part of this project, the language switcher, I am quite excited to see this working.

Hey @amitpatelmd,

I love to contribute to developing pages with friendly UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. that will make use of the available blocks.
Amit Patel 10:58 am on August 2, 2023

Thanks @webtechpooja. Lets connect and discuss what might be the great approach. I agree with the features of patterns as compared to custom blocks.

Thanks @sumitsingh for confirmation. I will remember to add you in this team and tasks as well.
