Idea: Brainstorm how to engage more Content Creators to join the Training Team.

We’ve seen many contributors join the team recently to translate content. But we have many Topic Ideas that are waiting to be created. What can we do to engage new content creators in the team? It would be great if we could brainstorm ideas during Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/..

Or maybe even have a working group take a specific piece of content, and work on translating it, and see where the blockers are.

I wonder if there is scope for running a small developer-focused working group, where interested contributors can review and work on any bugs in the Learn WordPress codebase?

Idea: Live session on how to create a tutorial

Having an experienced teammate run a live session on creating a tutorial could be fun! This could help new contributors come up with tutorial ideas and guide them through the process of creating their finished tutorial. Or if the group is large enough, people could work together in pairs or groups of 3 on a few ideas?

We could use the existing handbook pages on creating tutorials, as well as this existing tutorial for guidance.
