Meeting Note Takers
Here is our current note-taker roster:
Looking for feedback
- The Training Team identified a need to improve the current content translation process. Presently, machine-generated transcripts are used as the primary written content for lessons, but these transcripts are often unclear and difficult to understand. Although they were initially included to support multilingual translation, the approach is no longer efficient.
- Since lesson videos are already hosted on YouTube with a reliable transcription system, the team plans to shift from transcript-dependent content to providing high-quality written material directly aligned with each lesson. When video creators are unable to produce this written content, designated contributors may assist by reviewing the videos and generating accurate text.
- This initiative is being prioritized based on accessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) feedback, particularly from members of the disability community, who reported that translated transcripts frequently fail to communicate the intended meaning. Improving the content creation and translation workflow is expected to enhance inclusivity and ensure that learners – especially those with hearing impairments – can fully understand and benefit from the lessons.
- Collaboration with the Polyglots team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/. will continue to help streamline and strengthen the translation process moving forward.
Looking for volunteers
- Several courses are listed in the WordPress Credit course, so we’ve decided to review them thoroughly. Our goal is to catch and fix any misspellings, typos, broken links, or outdated information.
- You’re welcome to go through these courses as well and create issues on 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/ if you find anything that needs attention.
