@cnormandigital replied she has finished the Style Variations video and needs to share it with the team, worked on the Templates lesson, and started adding the Beginner Theme Dev module to sensei. She is adding Sensei lessons to the Learning Pathway courses is something she had to figure out and she tries to follow the same tone and voice Jonathan is using so they have cohesiveness with all of the lessons.

  • 2024 goal planning sessions. Just another friendly reminder to add your comments. What are some goals for the training team?

Faculty Updates

Asked faculty to check in and answer the following questions.

  • What have you been working on and how has it been going?
  • Anything you’ve accomplished since the last meeting?
  • Do you have any blockers?
  • Can other Faculty or Training Team members help you in some way?

Open Discussions

  • @devmuhib question- Someone has translated several pieces of content, all of which seem to be directly copied and pasted from Google Translate. I have personally reviewed this content and can confirm that the translations are not good in quality and, at times, not readable. Despite multiple requests to modify the content and maintain a certain standard, the issues persist, and the content remains unreadable. What is the appropriate course of action for such translations? @bsanevans had a few suggestions
    • Raise some specific items in the translation
    • If in the same timezone, work on a translation together.

If there are any other suggestions please add to this thread. Translation Discussion

  • @jonathanbossenger brought up- our use of InstaWP to be discussed by the team.
    • @psykro and @bsanevans have added comments on the issue in 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/.
  • @bsanevans brought up- Faculty members are added to the Learn Content Triage team on GitHub. This gives them access to triage issues, change statuses, and most importantly, check-off boxes automatically added by automation. (More info about this group in this handbook page.)
    • What do folks think about extending this permission to vetted content creators, too? 
      • @bsanevans gave more context in the thread.
      • We could offer this access to folks who, for example, meet all these criteria:
      • Is a vetted Tutorial presenter or Online Workshop facilitator
      • Has created 3 or more pieces of content
      • Has requested to be added to the GitHub triage group
      • So, it wouldn’t be something we give automatically, but something we could provide upon request, once there’s a track record of contribution.

@courtneypk, @gusaus, @psykro, @lada7042 supported this idea.

Also, what do you enjoy outside of WordPress? @faisalahammad is a content creator and he thinks he can be a part of WordPress community to share my knowledge with other learners. @bsanevans encouraged him to contribute in the Training Team where he can make the content listed in our Learning Pathways content outline.

If you’re not sure how to get started with us yet, I recommend checking out our onboarding link above or our newly introduced Guide Program.

Other News

The course cohort instructor, @psykro, is specifically looking for feedback to the questions noted in this post!

@psykro received props from @piyopiyofox for creating the program and for the first cohort to completion? But he thanked all the cohort applicants for taking part, as well as his “teaching assistant” @bsanevans for his help and insights during the cohort.

  • 6.4 is out and was the first release where we had the Training Team as part of the release squad.

@piyopiyofox requested feedback from @courane01, @courtneypk on how the process went for them and what they’d like to see happen for future releases? @courtneypk – thinks It would be good for us to write something up to share for future releases.

Open requests for review

See our Guidelines for reviewing content to review the following content.

Can we do an AI review?

Translation and reviews can be run through some sort of AI system like ChatGPT. We can ask reviewers to perform. Additionally, we can also ask it to give content update recommendations for the content creator.

@digitalchild wants to experiment with how to make this easier and everyone appreciated that.

Localized content not getting reviewed in a timely manner– an AI review ahead of a native speaker review could be a good first step toward making progress.

Project Updates

Open Discussions

The idea is to create a page in the handbook that lists opensource, or free, video editing tools content creators can use when making content for Learn. We could also create Tutorials, or host Online Workshops, showcasing how to use those tools.

@digitalchild will make a form to send out to all creators. He’ll collect a spreadsheet of all the tools, to then categories and publish.

You can see all meetings scheduled on this meeting calendar. If you are new to the Training Team, then come walk through our onboarding program to get to know the team and how we work. And if you have questions, feel free to reach out in the #training Slack channel at any time.
