Please state your interest, and we will help you organize and start working on these important issues.

Project updates
- We successfully wrapped up our Block Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. Theme Development Course cohort last week, with eight students participating throughout the program. It was a great learning experience, giving participants hands-on exposure to modern WordPress theme development.
- Building on this momentum, we are excited to launch our next cohort focused on Plugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. Development next month. We look forward to helping more students expand their WordPress skills and explore new opportunities within the open-source ecosystem.
- @VasantRajput is mentoring a few students in the Training Team Guide program.
