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.
We appreciate your understanding and continued dedication as we work to improve our contributor experience and expand learning opportunities within the Training Team.
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 donโt need to manually translate these transcripts. Instead, weโd 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 weโve 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 accessibilityAccessibilityAccessibility (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 โdirect accessโ (i.e. unassisted) and โindirect accessโ meaning compatibility with a personโs 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 excerptExcerptAn 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.

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.

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!
We decided to stop drinking coffee on Saturdays โ we do not like to drink coffee solo, so when you decide to share it with us, we will reactivate the session. Once again, big thanks to @rfluethiย for organizing Coffee Hour sessions!ย

To provide the Training Team contributors a space to host code samples for educational content, the team maintains a separate GitHubGitHubGitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

GitHub introduced the concept of the โpull requestโ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by 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.

Earlier this month, we opened nominations for the 2026 Training Team Representatives. Although the community actively participated, most nominations were in favor of Rico. Unfortunately, Rico has respectfully declined to serve in this role next year.
Aside from Rico, we did not receive sufficient nominations from experienced contributors. We also reached out privately to a few active members, but due to their limited bandwidth, they were unable to commit to the responsibilities required for this position.
After careful consideration, we have decided that the current Training Team Reps panel will continue to serve for the upcoming year.
For 2026, I will continue supporting the team as a mentor, and Rade will take the lead of the team reps group. Sumit and I will share responsibilities equally, with Rade serving as the lead reps. All major decisions will continue to be made collectively during team reps meetings.
Below, we are pleased to introduce the Training Team Representatives for 2026.
Rade Jekiฤ
Rade is a WordPress developer and conference speaker from Serbia. Growing up in Valjevo, a small town with limited access to tech communities, made it challenging to get involved in open-source projects. Still, he pushed through and built connections that shaped his career.

Everything changed in 2012 when he began using WordPress more seriously. He quickly connected not just with the platform but also with the people behind it. His passion for helping others learn led him to run local workshops, covering topics from WordPress basics to advanced concepts.
By 2023, he moved to bigger stagesโspeaking at WordCamps and meetups about containerization and WordPress MultisiteMultisiteMultisite is a WordPress feature which allows users to create a network of sites on a single WordPress installation.

He successfully blended his sysadmin background with WordPress expertise to deliver valuable insights to the community.
Rade officially joined the Training Team in late 2024 and has since contributed to planning, editing, and mentoring new contributors. His current focus is on improving contribution processes and strengthening the Training Team community.
Outside of work, Rade enjoys family life with his wife and two kids. And although tech is his profession, heโs still a drummer at heartโkeeping the rhythm alive both on and off the stage.

The Training Team identified a need to improve the current content translation process. Presently, machine-generated transcripts are used as the primary written content for lessons, but these transcripts are often unclear and difficult to understand. Although they were initially included to support multilingual translation, the approach is no longer efficient.
Since lesson videos are already hosted on YouTube with a reliable transcription system, the team plans to shift from transcript-dependent content to providing high-quality written material directly aligned with each lesson. When video creators are unable to produce this written content, designated contributors may assist by reviewing the videos and generating accurate text.
This initiative is being prioritized based on accessibilityAccessibilityAccessibility (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 โdirect accessโ (i.e. unassisted) and โindirect accessโ meaning compatibility with a personโs assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) feedback, particularly from members of the disability community, who reported that translated transcripts frequently fail to communicate the intended meaning. Improving the content creation and translation workflow is expected to enhance inclusivity and ensure that learners โ especially those with hearing impairments โ can fully understand and benefit from the lessons.
Collaboration with the Polyglots teamPolyglots TeamPolyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/. will continue to help streamline and strengthen the translation process moving forward.
