Meeting Note Takers
Looking for feedback
We will be repeating the items we listed in last week’s meeting as they are still open for feedback.
- Handbook page regarding creating quizzes/activities @cnormandigital has drafted a handbook page about creating quizzes/activities for content on Learn WordPress and is looking for feedback.
- Please leave feedback directly in this 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/ issue: Feedback – Creating Lesson Module Quizzes/Activities section of handbook #2946
- Looking for thoughts about how to add Facilitator Notes to Learn
- Designers and developers are discussing how best to implement Facilitator Notes to Learn WordPress. The team will be concluding discussions and moving to implementation soon.
- Join the discussion directly in this GitHub issue: https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/pull/2927
- Brainstorm: Introducing Learning Pathways to users during onboarding
- Retiring the Subject Matter Expert (SME) role in favor of the GitHub Editors group (continuation to last week’s discussion)
- The Training Team has tried using the SME role for two tasks: vetting content topics and assisting content creators. We’ve not seen SMEs vet content topics in a while. And we believe assisting content creators can be done in an editor capacity. To simplify team roles and remove friction, team reps recommend removing the SME role and relying on the GitHub Editors group instead.
- What do folks think about this proposal?
If anyone has feedback on any of the above items, please feel free to leave them in the comments of the relevant blog post/GitHub issue or Slack thread.

Project Updates
Upcoming Online Workshops
We have a number of workshops this month, including the new format proposed by
@Kaitohm .
They’re open study sessions where folks will individually work through Learning Pathways on Learn, but at the same time. If you want to study along with other folks, this is a great opportunity to try something new.
We’re always looking for people to run new workshops. If you’re interested in running a workshop or co-hosting you can find more information in the Training team handbook – Online Workshops section.
Open discussions
@digitalchild, If you have topics you’d like discussed in the meeting, please leave them as a comment.
@psykro, I wanted to note that I’ve completed the testing of PolyLang for Learn content translations, and my recommendation is that we move forward with the code review https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/2284#issuecomment-2459070351.
@kaitohm, I just wanted to update the team on Nomination for 2025 Training Team Reps.
Current team reps have reached out to all those nominated, and we’ve heard back from those who have accepted their nomination. We’ll be posting next-steps on the team blog this week
