Welcome to the official blog of the TV review team for WordPress.tv

We approve and publish all videos on WordPress.tv as well as help WordCamps with video post-production and captioning and subtitling of published videos.

Use the “Subscribe to Blog via Email” 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.

Weekly meetings

We use Slack for real-time communication. As contributors live all over the world, there are discussions happening at all hours of the day. We have weekly team meetings every Thursday at 17:00 UTC, and they are open to the public!

Our meeting is every Thursday at 15:00 UTC in the #wptv channel on SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/.. (Find out more about Slack.)

You’re welcome to listen in, or say “hi!” We would love to have your help.

In today’s modchat the TV team agreed that it would be useful for us to have a page on this site dedicated to listing the various initiatives that we are working on. Recently we have had a number of curious community contributors inquire about ways they might get involved and we’ve been spending a good deal of time describing the many different projects we have in motion which could be opportunities to get involved. Inspiration for this comes from the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. team’s Feature Plugin’s Tracking page which provides a list of plugins being considered for future core inclusion.

We decided having a page which serves this purpose would be helpful for:

Communicating to visitors what the TV team actually does
Guiding newcomers to contacts and resources for participating
Assigning responsible parties and encouraging team members to take ownership of specific initiatives
Monitoring progress of our projects
Helping us to improve the consistency and structure of our weekly meetings

You can visit the new page here. It is a work in progress at this moment but we’ll be polishing it over the next week. If you have any thoughts to contribute that relate to WPTV projects, leave a comment below.
