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    • Identifying outdated or irrelevant issues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:

Project updatesS

  • We successfully wrapped up our Block Theme Development Course cohort last week, with eight students participating throughout the program. 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 Plugin Development next month. We look forward to helping more students expand their WordPress skills and explore new opportunities within the open-source ecosystem.
  • @VasantRajput is mentoring a few students in the Training team Guide program. If you want to guide or to be guided, just leave a message in the #training channel and someone will help you

Open Discussions

  • If you have topics you’d like discussed in the meeting, please leave them as a comment on this issue.
    • @andrewssanya: I’m working on the Thumbnails and aim is to complete them.
    • @psykro: @rjekic, I just wanted to follow up on our chat at WCEU with Sebastien from Polylang. I think you mentioned the only outstanding issue to sort out is this https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3277?
      • @rjekic: Yes, I started (re)testing everything, and I will inform you and Sebastien soon. Thank you for the support!
      • @psykro: Awesome, thanks. Ping me if you need any support with anything. And if I don’t reply in 24-48 hours in GitHub, feel free to DM me here, as I sometimes miss a GitHub notification in all the noise from other repositories
  • What’s your plan in 2026 related to WordPress?
