Welcome to the Training Team’s onboarding guide for new contributors interested in content creation related tasks in the team! You can contribute by creating the initial drafts for tutorials, lesson plans, and courses. You do not have to be an expert on the topic but can work with the Subject-Matter Experts to get the information.
📝 Subject-Matter Experts (SMEs) work with content creators and editors to provide expertise in their relevant subject area to ensure that the content is accurate and complete.
Your first contribution!
Let us walk you through making your first contribution to the Training Team as a Content Creator!
Content creation takes time. Even experienced contributors can take hours to make a good piece of content. (Large content like courses can take weeks to complete!) So for your first contribution, we invite you to try a task that takes less time – reviewing content that is already published. When reviewing content, look at all the parts that make that piece of content – you’ll be writing those parts soon, too!
Here are the steps to find and review published content:
- Go to https://learn.wordpress.org
- Find a Tutorial or Lesson plan to review. This can be any published Tutorial or Lesson Plan. Reviewing old content is also helpful, as we like to keep all our content up to date.
- Now that you’ve found a piece of content to review, you can follow our Guidelines for reviewing content to conduct a review.
- Follow the steps under Are you reviewing content after it is published? to submit your findings.
Remember, any feedback you have about the content is welcome. Thank you for reviewing!
