In a recent Faculty survey, we received feedback that Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) aren’t clear on how they can effectively contribute to the Training Team. In particular, the current “Topic Ideas” column in the Content Development project board has over 140 items, making it difficult for SMEs to identify which items fall under their areas of expertise. Additionally, the recently concluded Content Localization Foundations project also received feedback that it is difficult for Content Translators to track translation items in GitHubGitHubGitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

Some Faculty handbook updates!
The Faculty Member list has been edited to include Areas of Expertise. This is especially important for Content Creators and Editors looking for help from Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) with specific topics.
In addition to the above, some brief tips for working with SMEs have been added to the Faculty Role Guide for both Content Creators and Editors.

We received feedback in Github issue – 158021 asking why we don’t show publication dates on the content, such as https://learn.wordpress.org/tutorial/creating-a-front-page-for-a-block-theme/. Showing a publication date may help learners identify new/fresh content easier. We wanted to open the idea up for discussion. What pros/cons do folks see with adding publication dates to content?
Over the course of 5 months, 28 volunteers created 36 pieces of localized content across 10 locales. Additionally, volunteers translated some of the Training Team’s handbook pages related to content translation into 5 locales. Thanks to those who are involved with this project

Jonathan and other developer educators in the team also create code example repositories for our workshops, tutorials, and courses for Learn WordPress, also hosted on our own accounts. Josepha suggested it might be useful to repurpose the wptrainingteam organization, renaming it to something like learn-WordPress. So we’d like to find out what the training team thinks of this idea. As far as I know that GitHub organization isn’t actively used anymore, so repurposing it as the official place for example code for all Learning related content for WordPress makes sense.

Project Update News
Until last week, at the end of each meeting, we had a section titled “Other projects” where we would ask project leads for an update. However, some projects move slower than others, and we don’t want to burden folks with excess notifications. The last week, we excluded the on-hold projects from the meeting agenda and add them back when they are resumed. You will find a note about these paused projects on the Team’s Administration GitHub board.
We’re looking for ideas to streamline the process of reviewing subtitle files, as GitHub doesn’t accept .ttml file uploads. Please leave your comments on this Slack thread.

“On May 27, 2023, WordPress celebrates a significant milestone in its journey as the project reaches its 20th anniversary. As part of the planned activities to mark this achievement, project leadership commissioned a book last year to document the years since its first commissioned work, Milestones – The Story of WordPress (2003-2013.)
The next volume, Building Blocks: The Evolution of WordPress, spans the history of WordPress from 2013-2023 and catalogs its wins, learnings, and everything in between.”

This is a new project that was just published by @amitpatelmd. The project will work on the following points:
Custom GutenbergGutenbergThe Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/blockBlockBlock 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. development

Currently, the team posts very similar content on the meeting agenda and recap posts. Team reps are considering how we can streamline this better.
Here are two ideas we’ve had:
Post an agenda in GitHubGitHubGitHub 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/, and publish a recap as a blog post. (This will reduce the number of posts on the blog, too, potentially making it easier to follow the information that gets published there.).
Publishing a detailed agenda on the blog, and writing notable discussions in the comments of the post.
Regarding the above two options, @webtechpooja, @sumitsingh & @courtneypk voted for option 1(idea 1).
➡️ New team update
Each month, Training Team reps publish an update to the entire WordPress project about the progress the team made in the last month. You can read the most recent update here: What’s new on Learn WordPress in March 2023.
New handbook pages
Team reps and faculty members are always updating the team handbook to document team processes better. This week, these two new pages were published:

Announcement: Temporarily relocating on-hold projects from the meeting agenda to GitHub
Until last week, at the end of each meeting, we had a section titled “Other projects” where we would ask project leads for an update. However, some projects move slower than others, and we don’t want to burden folks with excess notifications.
From this week, we will exclude the on-hold projects from the meeting agenda and add them back when they are resumed. You will find a note about these paused projects on the Team’s Administration GitHub board.

If anyone else in the APAC dev squad wants to lead that session, please let him know, so that I can arrange the relevant announce permissions for the #meta-learn channel. he also noticed that from what he can see the AMER dev squad has not yet been able to hold a triage session, so he wanted to check in with them and see if there’s anything he can do to assist.
@digitalchild also shared an interest to hold next weeks session.
