Looking for feedback
- Drawing new learners to the new Learn WordPress site – Deadline extended !

- Re-evaluating the SME role
- While making handbook pages during the process of retiring the Faculty Program, it came up during discussions with the team reps and content creators that we probably no longer need a separate role for Subject Matter Expert (SME).
- Perhaps we could combine the SME role with the Editor role?
- Since we’re going to now try using the GitHub Learn team for reviews (reference), this single 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/ team could be pinged for feedback on GitHub issues, instead of the previous two separate groups.
- Please provide feedback by Sept. 20.
- We appreciate everyone’s feedback. It helps to strength the team and provide new contributors with clear and concise information.
