Highlights:
- Cross-team collaboration with the Training Team: I have had a chat with Rade Jecik from the Training Team about content translation. I hope to include one the Training Team Reps into the conversation before sharing a draft P2.
- Collaboration with the Plugin Review Team: Francisco from the Plugin Review Team reached out asking for AI translations and how we can improve them. During the conversation we realized that there needs to be a page in the Plugin Teams Handbook. We will continue to collaborate and work on the handbook pages including a P2 to summarize the work.
- Mentorship & Helpful Resources to take care of the pending requests: Shout out to @petya for helping out with the Polyglots Table at WCEU 2025 Contributor Day. I was provided with some helpful resources which I am looking into and collaborating with the Polyglots Leads. I plan to start working on the pending requests and prepare a strategy on how we can better handle the backlog of requests. I plan to publish a P2 as we progress forward.
