The Marketing Team is a strategic resource for other WordPress teams. We also provide copywriting services. Our volunteers are well-equipped and eager. We work independently using in Trello but use our weekly 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/. meeting to focus on updates.
We meet in Slack every Wednesday morning at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Time as a catch up on our tasks. However, anyone can chat in our Slack channel about anything at any time.
Highlights
We’ve been working on recommendations from the growth council to improve WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/. Last week we finalized and submitted page content for how to get help with WordPress to meta.trac. Though, we are unsure of if or when that will be published.
That said, we published our brand book in our handbook and the results of our survey on how folks get their WordPress news.
We are continuing to write and publish case studies. Please feel free to submit those here.
Last Week’s Stats
Since a majority of our work manifests itself in blog posts on our blog, here’s how we’re doing.
The top post last week was the Jargon Glossary. (We’ve received some feedback and suggestions and are working on implementing those.)
We’re so happy the jargon glossary is still a top getter for stats.
We’re Here for You
If your team would like strategic advice or copywriting, please pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” either me (@gidgey on Slack) or @mcdwayne. We’ll set up a TrelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing. card and get to work.
