Looking for feedback

Looking for volunteers

  • We need your help in finding all the content that could be updated and consolidated. We would love to have two groups of volunteers – one that will go through all the handbook content, and one that will check the courses. Please state your interest, and we will help you organize and start working on these important issues.
  • Also, we started working on creating thumbnails for all lessons that need them. You’re very welcome to join us and contribute to this important and creative project. Here’s the issue with details on how to work on the remaining thumbnails: Create Thumbnails for Learn WordPress Lessons #3428
  • We currently have 530 open issues. It would be great to get support in reviewing and reducing their number. You can help by:
    • Going through issues one by one
    • Identifying outdated or irrelevant issues
    • Suggesting fixes or next steps
    • Adding comments where needed (before closing or updating)
  • Let’s work together to clean up and keep the repository well-organized :crossed_swords:

  • We successfully wrapped up our BlockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.

It was a great learning experience, giving participants hands-on exposure to modern WordPress theme development.
  • Building on this momentum, we are excited to launch our next cohort focused on PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

We look forward to helping more students expand their WordPress skills and explore new opportunities within the open-source ecosystem.

And if I don’t reply in 24-48 hours in GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.
