News
Brand guidelines – linking out to external training resources
Discussion is still open on this topic; we’re looking to align with Docs on the best process.
Demo Sites for Learn WordPress Users
Course participants can now access demo sites sponsored by WP Sandboxith up to 250 active at any time. See the full post for details.
Content Development GitHub project board
Lesson plans and courses now have a comment visible in edit mode linking to the Github issue. Will also be doing something similar for Social Learning Spaces (SLS).
Sprint
April Sprint
We are now breaking sprint posts into sections that mimic our boards on Github:
If you would like to contribute to an issue:
- Pick a topic from the Next Up – You Can Help column.
- Assign yourself to the issue. If you are unable to do this, please comment on the issue and a Team Admin will assign you to the issue. Once you’ve selected your issue (card) please move it to the Drafts in Progress column.
Content Development
For every column in our Content Development board, we have a “How to use this column” issue to help you navigate the project board.
Every column in our Content Development board has a “how to use this column” issue.
- Drafts: you’ll find the person assigned to the issue in the drafts column.
- Reviews: these are ready for feedback, proofreading, comments, etc.
- Published
- Help Needed
When you think about how to contribute to the training team, opportunities include:
- Creating content from the “You can help” column
- Reviewing someone else’s content that is almost ready to be published
- Revising abandoned issues to be ready to go live. That includes many long – time lesson plans that mention brands and now meet our brand guidelines, or just need a refresh due to updates.
Website Development
If you want to contribute to the site functionality of Learn then please have a look at our Website development project board.
Items on this board also have a priority label (high, medium and low) as well as good first issues.
Training Team Administration
We will use this board for our general admin like meeting notes recap. We have created templates that you can use.
Open Discussions
Answers to questions about how to test features in development included waiting for the Beta release and most updated version of Twenty Twenty Two theme. Docker is also an option for those who are technically inclined. The WordPress Beta Tester plugin can also be configured to pull the latest nightlies.
