Looking for feedback

  • Learn WordPress is a contributor-focused platform where various contributors create and share content. Often, contributors host their materials, such as slides or presentations, on personal platforms like Dropbox or Google Drive. This can sometimes lead to challenges when there are errors in the shared content, as the Training Team may not have access to make corrections or updates. We want to hear your feedback on this.

Looking for volunteers

  • The flagship WordCamp Asia (WC Asia) will take place from February 20-22, 2025, in Manila, Philippines. On the same day as Contributor Day, we’ll be hosting an online event. If you’re interested in hosting this online session, please leave a comment! This will be a general event focused on discussing Training Team activities.
  • At Learn WordPress, we develop a variety of educational content to support the WordPress community. Our current focus is on creating localized content to make learning more accessible and relevant. If you have experience translating content, this is a great way to contribute.
  • We’re looking for editors to assist with github issue content updates. The ideal candidates will have had experience writing meeting notes as well as using Sensei LMS. Reply in this thread if you’d like to help out. If you have experience with Training Team activities and have been active within the team for the past six months, we encourage you to apply for the editor role. If you’re confident in your skills, don’t forget to submit your application!
  • If you’re passionate about teaching and sharing your knowledge, we invite you to join us as a content creator. To get started, please refer to our onboarding document for all the information you need to begin contributing.
