2. News
Meeting recap notes are one of the best ways to get started contributing to a team, and you can find details on how to write notes in this handbook page.
We received feedback in Github issue – 158021 asking why we don’t show publication dates on the content, such as https://learn.wordpress.org/tutorial/creating-a-front-page-for-a-block-theme/. Showing a publication date may help learners identify new/fresh content easier. We wanted to open the idea up for discussion.
What pros/cons do folks see with adding publication dates to content?
Over the course of 5 months, 28 volunteers created 36 pieces of localized content across 10 locales. Additionally, volunteers translated some of the Training Team’s handbook pages related to content translation into 5 locales. Thanks to those who are involved with this project 
Context: in a recent Faculty survey, we received feedback that SMEs aren’t clear on how they can effectively contribute to the Training Team. In particular, the current “Topic Ideas” column in the Content Development project board has over 140 items, making it difficult for SMEs to identify which items fall under their areas of expertise.
And additionally, the recently concluded Content Localization Foundations project received feedback that it is difficult for Content Translators to track translation items in 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/ also.
So we thought to create two new Projects boards for more clarity.
