  • We have discussed starting a regular GitHubGitHub 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 PluginPlugin 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.

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.
  • For the upcoming sessions, I am proposing that we divide the open issues into smaller groups and work through one categoryCategory 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?

Looking for feedback

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.
  • 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: Create Thumbnails for Learn WordPress Lessons #3428
  • We currently have 530 open issues. It would be great to get support in reviewing and reducing their number. You can help by:
    • Going through issues one by one
    • Identifying outdated or irrelevant issues
    • Suggesting fixes or next steps
    • Adding comments where needed (before closing or updating)
  • Let’s work together to clean up and keep the repository well-organized :crossed_swords:

  • We successfully wrapped up our BlockBlock 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.

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 PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

We look forward to helping more students expand their WordPress skills and explore new opportunities within the open-source ecosystem.
