2. Looking for feedback

• We are proposing a community-driven review of the Learn WordPress Learning Pathways (User, Developer, and Designer) to identify outdated content and gather improvement suggestions from experienced WordPress users and contributors. Check out this post for details.
• Looking for feedback on the Spanish translation for “Open Source Principle 0: With many eyes, all bugs are shallow”- #3714, the Spanish translation for “What is a plugin?”- #3711, and the Spanish translation for "Behavioral expectations" · #3739
• Team Homepage: @chekle has shared A block-based prototype for the Training Team homepage to make team pages more engaging and newcomer-friendly. Feedback is welcome via GitHub Issue #3674.
• Text-to-Speech: The team discussed exploring text-to-speech/read-aloud functionality for course lessons. @softglazee has created prototypes, and the team is encouraged to provide feedback before implementation discussions with Meta Team.
• Training Team Handbook: The handbook is currently being updated, and team members are encouraged to share suggestions, improvements, and ideas in GitHub Issue #3447.
• Intermediate Plugin Developer Course: @melbos has revived the Learning Pathway course and started working on modules and lessons. Team members are invited to review the new content and share feedback, including the “Rendering plugin data” lesson.

3. Looking for volunteers

• Translation Review Volunteers: We have a lot of lessons translated into many beautiful languages, but we need someone to review them and give us their opinion about the translation quality and possible improvements. Join us on GitHub by following this link: https://github.com/WordPress/Learn/issues?q=is%3Aissue+state%3Aopen+project%3AWordPress%2F104. Find the language you speak and know, and help us in the review phase. We do not want to leave all those translated lessons and courses in GitHub oblivion...
• Content Review Volunteers: Volunteers are needed to review and identify content that should be updated or consolidated. Two groups are needed: one for the handbook and one for courses.
• Lesson Thumbnails: Work has started on creating thumbnails for lessons that need them. Team members are welcome to contribute to the remaining thumbnails through GitHub Issue #3428.
• Issue Cleanup: The team discussed organising the many open issues into smaller categories and reviewing them systematically.
  • Review Workflow: The proposed process is to review issues one by one, identify outdated or irrelevant items, suggest next steps, and add comments before closing or updating issues.
    • Good First Issues: Contributors can start with issues labeled Good First Issue, especially those related to content feedback, and follow the handbook guide for validating feedback.
    • Issue Categories: The team discussed starting with a specific category, with Bug issues suggested as a priority. Other options include Needs Translation Reviewer, Unlabeled, Awaiting Triage, and Content Feedback.
    • Next Steps: Team members are encouraged to suggest which category should be reviewed first, after which the issues can be divided among contributors.
  • Goal: Work together to clean up and keep the repository organised.
