Contribution Acknowledgement

This week, the Training Contributor badge was awarded to @22halomedia. Thank you for reviewing content for the team.

@psykro – I would like to give props to @agiljulio, @coquardcyr, @michelleblanchette and @erichmond for their continued commitment to working on the pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party developer learning pathway.

I would also like to give props to @lakshmananphp for doing such a great job facilitating the current course cohort.

@kaitohm – I want to give props to @digitalchild for noticing Project Thread: Content Maintenance Process Update Phase 1 has been stagnant for a while, and offering to continue that.

@lakshmananphp – Props to @psykro for the new lessons and co-hosting the cohort.

@west7 – Props to @quitevisible and @digitalchild for reviewing content.

Props to @kel-dc and @ervanyuffrizal for their fantastic work creating and publishing the Troubleshooting lesson!”

@devmuhib – I want to give props to @jagirbahesh and @zeelthakkar for helping me writing beginner contributor learning pathway.

Project updates

We have a few projects underway at the moment. I invite the leader of each project to share an update below.

Upcoming Online Workshops

We don’t have a lot of workshops scheduled for December, yet. Is anyone interested in facilitating any sessions?

Open discussions

@psykro – I’d like to share some (very recent) news

It looks like we’ve been given the go-ahead to have PolyLang installed on Learn.WordPress.org for translated content: https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/2284#issuecomment-2499828845

This conversation literally just happened today. I’ll be creating the PR to have the code merged this week. I’d therefore suggest that we start trailing this sometime next week, to iron out the process of translation

once I create the PR to have the plugin code merged, I’ll share it here so folks can follow along.

It will be great if we can enter 2025 with a defined process for creating and reviewing translated content.

@kaitohm –  I keep looking at all the ideas the team came up with in Drawing new learners to the new Learn.WordPress.org. There are so many great ideas there!

There’s one idea: Connect with community colleges and schools that could benefit from incorporating Learn WordPress into their programs.

I’m curious, does anyone in the team already have connections with any schools in their local communities?

@psykro – I have two young boys currently at school, so theoretically I have a connection to at least 1 school in my community. However, what I don’t have are the tools for how to connect with these schools, and what is required from each of them, their school board, the educational bodies, to figure out how to find out about implementing Learn WordPress into their programs.

And schools are different in different parts of the world. So while I have an option, I have no idea how to get started.

@psykro – So I recently met with a friend who’s the program mananger for an online coding school: https://codeyourfuture.io/. I feel like these are the types of places we need to be reaching, folks who are doing online learning, for high schoolers, folks who want a career change, army veterans etc.

@22halomedia – I’m an officer at a Metropolitan Community College programming club and will bring up in our next meeting the possibility of doing the learn.wordpress.org curriculum as part of our club activities.

@quitevisible – We homeschool our 2 youngest girls (13/14). This year, I created a WP site using an LMS to run my lessons. I teach 2 of the classes (Chemistry/Language Arts), but also added a beginner WP class to run alongside the Language Arts/Writing class.

Each of my girls have their own self-hosted WP website where they are learning to design and post their work. I embed the Learn WP videos in my lessons. They’ve mentioned that the videos really help – @westnz  seems to be their fave so far. So the material is also introducing WP to the next generation.

Upcoming Online Workshops

The Learn WordPress Study Hours were popular last week! We had 10 people show up and many requested we have them regularly.

These are SUPER easy Online Workshops that require little preparation. If we could have a few facilitators rotate this every 2 weeks, they would make some great Online Workshop programming.

Open Discussions

  • @digitalchild: I have been thinking about this for a while. One thing that I think our content could be extended to is including real world use cases. For instance a course on how to setup a WooCommerce store. A lesson or online workshop on how to create a landing page or marketing site for your business .
  • @digitalchild: We already have the content on how to use WordPress and will have the marketing and SEO aspects covered so it would be good to take the next logical step
  • @digitalchild: I used to do a woocommerce start to finish 2 hour workshop once or twice a year at our local meetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/. A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you find options in your area. before Covid
  • @west7: We do have a few practical lessons planned for the Designer learning pathway.
  • @lakshmananphp: Can we include Learn WordPress online meetups/workshops etc in this widgetWidget A WordPress Widget is a small block that performs a specific function. You can add these widgets in sidebars also known as widget-ready areas on your web page. WordPress widgets were originally created to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control of the WordPress theme to the user.? Allowing the users to show/hide via screen options
  • @sumitsingh: I am thinking to some improvement list of strategies that can boost contributions for the WordPress Training Team and help the community worldwide:
    • Clear Onboarding Process: Step-by-step guidance for newcomers.
    • Highlighting the Impact: Showing how contributions benefit the global community.
    • Success Stories: Sharing experiences and growth of current contributors.
    • Interactive Contributor Events: Regular live sessions for real-time collaboration.( Which is doing)
    • Recognition and Rewards: Public acknowledgments to appreciate contributors.
    • Mentorship Programs: Pairing new contributors with experienced mentors.
    • Flexible Contribution Options: Tasks for various skill levels and time commitments.
    • Outreach on Social Media: Expanding awareness through social channels.
    • Cross-Team Collaboration: Partnering with other WordPress teams for shared projects.
    • Centralized Resource Hub: Accessible resources and FAQs for easy support.
    • These strategies create a welcoming and engaging environment, making it easier and more motivating for people to contribute and make an impact.
  • @kaitohm: What do other folks think?
    • I think we can encourage new contributors to share their own contributions on social media. Then, we could share their posts on our channels. Having them talk about their own experience will make it more impactful.
    • Also, some people might prefer we don’t share information about them. So, having the new contributor post first let’s them make the decision.
  • @digitalchild: This is a great list we definitely need to promote and encourage contributions and collaboration.
  • @sumitsingh: Did you know?
    • Most of our contributors give their time, skills, and passion completely free of cost – no sponsorships, just pure dedication to growing the community! To all of you selfless contributors: thank you for everything you do!
    • One simple way we can give back is by sharing and celebrating their contributions on social media. A quick post, a thank-you tweet, or a shout-out goes a long way. Let’s show our appreciation and make them feel valued – after all, seeing their names out there is a small gesture that brings big smiles!
    • Let’s keep our community strong and connected by lifting each other up.

    • Designers and developers are discussing how best to implement Facilitator Notes to Learn WordPress. The team will be concluding discussions and moving to implementation soon.
    • Join the discussion directly in this GitHub issue: https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/pull/2927
  • Brainstorm: Introducing Learning Pathways to users during onboarding
  • Retiring the Subject Matter Expert (SME) role in favor of the GitHub Editors group (continuation to last week’s discussion)
    • The Training Team has tried using the SME role for two tasks: vetting content topics and assisting content creators. We’ve not seen SMEs vet content topics in a while. And we believe assisting content creators can be done in an editor capacity. To simplify team roles and remove friction, team reps recommend removing the SME role and relying on the GitHub Editors group instead.
    • What do folks think about this proposal?

If anyone has feedback on any of the above items, please feel free to leave them in the comments of the relevant blog post/GitHub issue or Slack thread.

Looking for volunteers

Upcoming Online Workshops

We have a number of workshops this month, including the new format proposed by 

@Kaitohm . 

They’re open study sessions where folks will individually work through Learning Pathways on Learn, but at the same time. If you want to study along with other folks, this is a great opportunity to try something new.

We’re always looking for people to run new workshops. If you’re interested in running a workshop or co-hosting you can find more information in the Training team handbook – Online Workshops section.

Open discussions

@digitalchild, If you have topics you’d like discussed in the meeting, please leave them as a comment.

@psykro, I wanted to note that I’ve completed the testing of PolyLang for Learn content translations, and my recommendation is that we move forward with the code review https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/2284#issuecomment-2459070351.

@kaitohm, I just wanted to update the team on Nomination for 2025 Training Team Reps.

Current team reps have reached out to all those nominated, and we’ve heard back from those who have accepted their nomination. We’ll be posting next-steps on the team blog this week

Upcoming Online Workshops

Those last two are a new type of Online Workshop I thought I’d try. They’re open study sessions where folks will individually work through Learning Pathways on Learn but at the same time. I see folks have started signing up for these already, and I’m interested to see how they go.

Open discussions

@psykro: I’ve been in discussions with @jamesmarsland (the new head of WordPress YouTube) around re-creating one of our lesson videos, but based on Jamie’s experience creating videos for YouTube. We plan to have this experiment launched by the end of October and hope to be able to apply some of what we learn from it to future Learn WordPress lesson videos. 

And then a short documentation update: the course cohort documentation has been updated based on the leanings from our last two cohorts in preparation for the next cohort.
