Jamie produces fantastic content for YouTube, and he’s looking for feedback about whether they’d be a good fit for Learn WordPress, too. Please check out the information in the following GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by the repository owner. https://github.com/ issue, and leave your thoughts as comments there: https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues/1439
Looking for volunteers
- Would anyone like to update https://learn.wordpress.org/pathways-to-learn-wordpress/?
If you are interested in helping with this, please share your interest in this Slack thread.
- Discussion: How can we streamline the meeting agenda/recap posts? Reps have two ideas:
- Agenda in GitHub, recap on the blog
- Detailed agenda on the blog, and add notable discussions in the comments section.
Please share your thoughts in this Slack thread. Which of the two options do you think is better, and why? Or, do you have other suggestions too?
- Project Update News
Until last week, at the end of each meeting, we had a section titled “Other projects” where we would ask project leads for an update. However, some projects move slower than others, and we don’t want to burden folks with excess notifications. The last week, we excluded the on-hold projects from the meeting agenda and add them back when they are resumed. You will find a note about these paused projects on the Team’s Administration GitHub board.
