Looking for feedback
Looking for volunteers
- We are looking for folks to review tutorials and determine if we keep, update, or deprecate them.
- The Thumbnail Creation Project also requires volunteers to help make thumbnails for the new Learn site The Training Team publishes its completed lesson plans at https://learn.wordpress.org/ which is often referred to as the "Learn" site..
Other News
- Translating lesson content: It looks like if translators assign a translated lesson to the original course and module, it replaces that lesson in the course (more information here). We will need to investigate to confirm this, but until we do, it might be useful if translators of lesson content don’t assign the course or module to a translated lesson.
- The second course cohort wrapped and the recap post is up, including feedback survey results from participants and next steps: https://make.wordpress.org/training/2024/07/02/recap-the-second-learn-wordpress-course-cohort/
- Thumbnail Creation Project
- The Thumbnail-a-thon online event on the 26th of June, with 18 participants working on creating thumbnails for the project.
- A total of 21 thumbnails were created for the project
@zeelthakkar is interested in creating thumbnails. @west7 suggested reviewing @zoonini‘s online workshop recording for guidance and to reach out to @zoonini with any questions.
@jagirbahesh also interested to creating thumbnails.he will check the post.
@sumitsingh and @zoonini are available to help with creating thumbnails. Feel free to ping The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” me if you need assistance.
@zoonini thanked for pitching in!
