- 📚 The Learn WordPress DACH team finished its first German-language course cohort, “Starten mit WordPress” – seven weeks, seven live sessions, always two facilitators, a prepared curriculum for every single session, and answers in 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/ in between. In the final session, every participant presented a website they had built themselves. Wonderful commitment, and a great model for all us to learn from.
