In Learn WordPress, there is a taxonomy based upon WordPress versions used internally for auditing content.
Originally, this was used as a means of comparing or auditing content to ensure it includes any information about the latest versions. It is a checkpoint to indicate we have recently reviewed this content.
We now have several goals with this taxonomy:
- This content has been confirmed with the corresponding release version. At this time, this is an internal use-case, but we could envision using this publicly in a changelog at the bottom of lesson plans, workshops, courses to view content from previous versions.
- This content is contains new or important features about the latest release. This is public-facing and can help curate a page of relevant content per release on Learn.
The taxonomy created is now publicly accessible: https://github.com/WordPress/learn/pull/292. However, this may be quite cluttered with content comparison checks and not exclusive to features related to the current release.
Thoughts to consider:
- Should these live in 1 taxonomy area or should these live in 2 separate taxonomies?
- How do we envision using that in the admin area?
- How do we need data to publicly display now, and in the future?
- What additional considerations should we have?
We’ll leave this post open until January 14 before progressing to GitHub Issues.
