Looking for feedback
- We are planning an Office Hours session on Saturday, September 26, 2026:
- We have discussed starting a regular 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 by the repository owner. https://github.com/ triage meeting, and I hope this week we can do the first Slack meeting.
- Proposed schedule: Triage Squad GitHub triage – biweekly on Thursdays at 07:00 UTC.
- Our colleague, @mebo, revived the Learning Pathway Course: Intermediate 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. Developer Course – https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/2044. She started working on course modules and lessons, and you can help her by suggesting and giving your opinion on newly created content – https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/2182#…
Looking for volunteers
- We need your help in finding all the content that could be updated and consolidated. We would love to have two groups of volunteers – one that will go through all the handbook content, and one that will check the courses. Please state your interest, and we will help you organize and start working on these important issues.
- @softglaze – I would like to take part in handbook content coordination
- @sonaliprajapati– I would like to take part in checking the courses
- Also, we started working on creating thumbnails for all lessons that need them. You’re very welcome to join us and contribute to this important and creative project. Here’s the issue with details on how to work on the remaining thumbnails: https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3428
- We currently have around 590 open issues, and I think it would be more effective to divide them into smaller categories and work through them one by one.
- We can start with a simple label that is suitable for everyone to review. My suggestion is:
- For the upcoming sessions, I am proposing that we divide the open issues into smaller groups and work through one category The 'category' taxonomy lets you group posts / content together that share a common bond. Categories are pre-defined and broad ranging. at a time. This should make the process more organised and easier for everyone to participate in.
- We could begin with:
- [Content] Needs Translation Reviewer
- https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues?q=is%3… – Based on feedback from our last meeting, @rfluethi suggested starting with issues in the Bug category, as these are both the highest priority and likely the easiest to address. Please review the open tickets and share any feedback or suggestions you may have.
- However, I would appreciate your suggestions on which category would be the easiest and most useful for everyone to start with. Other available categories include:
- Please share which category you think we should review first. Once selected, we can divide the issues and work through them together, one by one. Let’s work together to clean up and keep the repository well-organized
- Previously I asked for 3 tickets but did 10+ and most of them closed successfully, now I am offering another 10 Mix of bug and Feedback, can you assign me some or should I pick myself?
