Project updates

- @Ben Evans do you have any other updates on this project to share?
- The project thread has been updated with a link to the most recent Learn redesign suggestions by #design
- Also, please check out Looking for feedback: Thumbnails for the Learn redesign and provide your feedback regarding the thumbnail templates provided by #design
- The project thread has been updated with a link to the most recent Learn redesign suggestions by #design
- Translation plugin for Learn
- @Jonathan shared the following update:
- The team would like to prioritize using GPL-compliant plugins, so at the moment we’ve highlighted Polylang and TranslatePress as two possible options
- TranslatePress seems to be the better option between the two.
- Ben raised this question with members of the meta team who are working on the Learn redesign, who indicated we would need to first have a more public community conversation around it, as it would mean installing the plugin on the .org infrastructure.
- Our next steps will be to hold that public discussion with Meta.
- @Jonathan shared the following update:
I want to say again that any team member can get involved and contribute to our projects and goals. If any of them interest you, please don’t hesitate to lend your expertise and thoughts.
Open Discussions
@flixos90 has come to the team with a topic for open discussion which I’ll summarize below
Members of the WordPress Performance Team have been working on an introduction to gathering WordPress performance data in the field. This is provided in this Colab, as the Colab format is a great fit for this kind of content, since it allows providing BigQuery queries that can be run directly inside of it, and the results can be presented alongside the queries. Colab covers both potential core use-cases as well as plugin or theme use-cases.
Felix drafted a Make Core post draft (public preview) to share this Colab more broadly with the core developer audience.
Felix is wondering whether it could be included or embedded in another area more dedicated to this kind of resource, such as learn.wordpress.org.
