Update: Temporary Removal of Coffee Hours

The Training Team would like to inform contributors that Coffee Hours will be temporarily removed from the meeting tables for the upcoming month. This decision has been made to ensure that the team can allocate adequate time and focus toward planning, organizing, and delivering more workshops, which continue to be a key area of interest and growth for our contributors.

Workshops require coordination between content creators, facilitators, reviewers, and administrators. At the moment, our available admin resources are limited, and prioritizing workshops will allow us to continue supporting our community effectively. Once we onboard or confirm additional team admins who can assist with hosting and facilitating these sessions, we fully intend to reinstate Coffee Hours.

This update applies to the meeting tables published this month:

Looking for feedback

  • The content translation process in the Training Team could use some improvement. Currently, our lessons rely on transcripts as their main written content. However, these machine-generated transcripts are often difficult to understand. We originally included them to ensure there was at least some content alongside the video, which could then be translated into different languages.
  • Since all lesson videos are hosted on YouTube โ€” which already provides a strong transcription system โ€” we donโ€™t need to manually translate these transcripts. Instead, weโ€™d like to provide high-quality written content that is directly related to each lesson.
  • We understand that video lesson producers may not always have enough time to create this text content themselves. In those cases, another contributor could watch the video carefully and create accurate written content.
  • We are prioritizing this change because weโ€™ve received feedback from members of the disability community who reported that translated transcripts often fail to convey the original meaning or ideas of the lesson. We consider this an accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both โ€œdirect accessโ€ (i.e. unassisted) and โ€œindirect accessโ€ meaning compatibility with a personโ€™s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) issue and want to ensure our lessons are inclusive. By providing well-written, human-curated text content, we can better support learners with hearing impairments, enabling them to fully engage with the material.
  • Also, thanks to @vasantrajputย we will start the project to update all the excerptExcerpt An excerpt is the description of the blog post or page that will by default show on the blog archive page, in search results (SERPs), and on social media. With an SEO plugin, the excerpt may also be in that pluginโ€™s metabox. (part of the text visible on the archive page) for the content translated in other languages than English.

Looking for volunteers

Thanks to @devmuhib, we are giving our best to help WordPress Campus Connect and WordPress Credits programs. That is why we must recheck all the content they are using, which is previously created onย learn.wordpress.org.

  • After the nomination and selection officially ended, we created aย Call for Admin Team Members. It is still open, so if you think you have time and the will to join the admin team and help us, leave a comment, and we will get back to you. Next week, we will start with the admin team onboarding process. Stay tuned!

Help Secure the Learn WordPress Code Examples

To provide the Training Team contributors a space to host code samples for educational content, the team maintains a separate 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 โ€˜pull requestโ€™ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ organisation at https://github.com/wptrainingteam.

In 2023, access to manage repositories in this organisation was opened up to writers for the WordPress Developer Blog, so that they could also host code examples for developer blog posts.

This GitHub organisation currently contains 137 code repositories, with more added as new developer lessons are created or new developer blog posts are published.

As with any public code, there is a risk of exposing consumers to outdated or insecure dependencies. It is therefore vital to ensure that all these repositories are automatically checked for security vulnerabilities and regularly updated.

@bph recently noticed that none of the repositories in this GitHub organisation where being checked for security updates. After some investigation, we discovered that GitHub can automatically scan all repositories in an organisation using a tool called Dependabot.

Unfortunately, just enabling Dependabot on the GitHub organisation is not enough, some manual work is required. Each repository needs to include workflows that automatically scan the repository, create a pull request to update any outdated or insecure dependencies, and automatically merge the new pull request.

This is where we need your help.

We are asking Training Team members to assist in reviewing the existing repositories, and created the required files where needed. The Training Team handbook contains a new guide on how to Set up Up Dependabot for WP Training Team repositories.

If youโ€™d like to help, pick a code repository from the WP Training Team Repositories sheet, and follow the instructions to create the pull request containing the three required files (as detailed in the handbook page).

Once the pull request is created, please request a review on the Pull Request from any of the following people:

Thank you for helping us keep our code repositories updated and secure for all users.
