Looking for feedback
- 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.
- Block Theme Development Course Cohort Learning Pathway Development – We’re planning a cohort-based learning program focused on Block Theme Development, and before turning it into a full course, we want to build the learning pathway together with the community. Let’s do this together – https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/3381
- We’re noticing a shortage of content creators in the Training Team. How can we encourage more dedicated content creators to join? Please share your ideas. It would be invaluable to have local content creators who can translate existing English content into their local languages
Looking for volunteers
- WordCamp Asia 2026 is just around the corner – it is officially starting on April 9th, with the Contributor Day. The Training Team will have table leads on site, helping all new contributors to join the team and spreading the word about our goals and activities. We will also have the Online Contributor Day, and this is your chance to shine – we need contributors who can help us coordinate the efforts of the table leads and volunteers on site, and help all the people who are not able to attend the event in person. Remember, all contributions count! We will publish the event and the P2 post soon.
- Help us in developing learn pathway for the course cohort on block theme development.
- We still have trouble finding a reviewer for already translated content. Maybe you can help us, or know someone who can review the content? Here is the short list:
- Some Education Initiative handbooks have been updated recently. You’re welcome to review the handbooks, and please let us know if you notice any issues:

Other News
- We’re thrilled to announce that we will be hosting online events during Contributor Day, enabling those unable to attend WordCamp Asia to participate remotely. Join us for online contributions via the Meetup link below. Stay tuned for the event schedule
- The WordPress Plugins Team needs help and volunteers. The plugin queue is long, so the help is much appreciated
- Weekly Campus Connect Office Hours are starting in the #campusconnect channel. This time is for current or potential organizers to ask questions about their planned events and share their experience so far.
- We recently ran an online workshop series showing how to build event websites for Campus Connect and WordCamps using the WordPress Block Editor. If you’re organizing a WordPress Campus Connect event, these resources might be helpful.
