Looking for feedback
- @Ben Evans Received notice from the Sensei LMS plugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party team that they will no longer be able to provide the following two features that were discussed at WordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. US in summer 2023. For context, these were features #training had requested as part of our content type consolidation efforts around the site relaunch happening this year.
- Adding an instructor notes section to lessons
- Adding lessons to multiple courses
Based on this information, I’d like to discuss next steps with the team.
- Feature 1, I think we’ll will want to work with #meta to still create this feature as part of the site redesign. But this should probably be done with as minimal custom development as possible to reduce future maintenance overhead.
- Feature 2 is something I propose we reassess and consider alternatives for. Technically, I think Learning Pathways could still be launched without this.
- The lesson page is getting a makeover too. Learn Design (post by Joen) Please add your comments to the post.
- I am updating the wording in the Training team contributor badge reviewing section to make it more clear and add a link to the review template. I noticed under copyediting/reviewing there is wording “You should successfully move pieces of content from the “Review in Progress” stage to the “Published or closed” stage in Github 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 be the repository owner. https://github.com/.”
- Do we want the reviewers to publish or close an issue?
- Is it the author’s responsibility to publish or close an issue?
- Thoughts? Should the wording be removed?
Looking for volunteers
- Guides program
We currently have a couple of folks still waiting to be matched with a guide, but no guides are available. What are some ways we could attract more guides, ideally in a variety of time zones? A general call for new guides already went out a few weeks ago in the #training channel, but no one stepped forward, so other ideas are very welcome.
- Reviewers needed to review lesson videos. See Come & Contribute section
Updates from last week’s dev-squad triage session
Here is the link to the thread in #meta-learn.
Looks like they had a good turn out.

@ironnysh Completing a second script about accessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers).
