Expertise needed: Learn how to vet content topic ideas for the Training Team

Summary: The Training Team is looking for community members to join the team as Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)! SMEs lend their expertise by vetting content topic ideas and becoming sounding boards for the Content Creators that develop content. We’ll be hosting Online Workshops to demonstrate these tasks and answer any questions.

Online Workshop: How to vet content topic ideas for the WordPress Training Team

Both workshops will cover the same content.

Learn.WordPress.org (Learn WordPress) is the WordPress project’s official learning platform. Contributors from all around the world create new content for Learn WordPress regularly.

Before a piece of content is created, the topic of that content is vetted for accuracy and relevance. Learning objectives are set, and related resources are collected. These tasks are completed by the team’s Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). SMEs may also be contacted by Content Creators as the content is being developed, assisting by providing additional information to create accurate and informative content.

If you are interested in sharing your expertise and contributing to the Training Team as an SME, then great! Come join one of the Online Workshops mentioned at the top of this posts, where we’ll walk you through the tasks of an SME and answer any questions you may have.

To get the most out of these Online Workshops, make sure you have:

The team is looking for volunteers who can work on a new handbook page for the team regarding accessibility. We’d like to create a checklist that can be used by content creators, editors, and meeting note-takers.

@newcomer22 started drafting ideas towards an accessibility checklist for junior WordPress developers. @jominney and @alexstine offered to assist with creating/reviewing this checklist before it is published.

Announcing GitHub updates for Subject Matter Experts and Content Translators

I’m pleased to announce that the two new 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 be the repository owner. https://github.com/ project boards discussed in this proposal have been created. Read on to see what’s new.

Streamlined processes to vet content topic ideas

A new project board titled LearnWP Topic Vetting has been created specifically for vetting content topic ideas. This is in response to feedback submitted by Faculty SMEs earlier this year about how it was difficult to sift through submitted ideas to find those related to their area of expertise.

With the new project board, content ideas are now filtered by topic, allowing SMEs to find items related to their area of expertise easier. Below is a list of topics, linked to their respective view:

A new handbook page has been created, detailing how this project board works, and listing steps SMEs can take to vet topic ideas. We invite all SMEs to read through Vetting Topic Ideas, and in particular, the section “Vetting topic ideas”.

Vetting Topic Ideas

Dedicated project board for content localization

Also, a new GitHub project board titled LearnWP Content – Localization has been created. This new project board tracks localization issues separately to general content creation issues, and has filtered views for each active locale. It was created in response to feedback provided in the Content Localization Foundation project.

While the new project board doesn’t introduce major changes to content localization processes, it should make identifying and tracking localization issues much easier. We invite all Faculty Admin to read through the new handbook page:

Triaging content localization issues

If you have any feedback as you work with the new project boards, please leave them in the comments below.

And if you’re interested in contributing to the Training Team, come walk through our onboarding program to learn how we use these project boards.

Thanks to @digitalchild for reviewing this post.
