Looking for feedback

  • The content translation process in the Training Team could use some improvement. Currently, our lessons rely on transcripts as their main written content. However, these machine-generated transcripts are often difficult to understand. We originally included them to ensure there was at least some content alongside the video, which could then be translated into different languages.
  • Since all lesson videos are hosted on YouTube — which already provides a strong transcription system — we don’t need to manually translate these transcripts. Instead, we’d like to provide high-quality written content that is directly related to each lesson.
  • We understand that video lesson producers may not always have enough time to create this text content themselves. In those cases, another contributor could watch the video carefully and create accurate written content.
  • We are prioritizing this change because we’ve received feedback from members of the disability community who reported that translated transcripts often fail to convey the original meaning or ideas of the lesson. We consider this an accessibilityAccessibility 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). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) issue and want to ensure our lessons are inclusive. By providing well-written, human-curated text content, we can better support learners with hearing impairments, enabling them to fully engage with the material.
  • Also, thanks to @vasantrajput we will start the project to update all the excerptExcerpt An excerpt is the description of the blog post or page that will by default show on the blog archive page, in search results (SERPs), and on social media. With an SEO plugin, the excerpt may also be in that plugin’s metabox. (part of the text visible on the archive page) for the content translated in other languages than English.

Looking for volunteers

Thanks to @devmuhib, we are giving our best to help WordPress Campus Connect and WordPress Credits programs. That is why we must recheck all the content they are using, which is previously created on learn.wordpress.org.

Updates from last week’s Triage Squad session

No meeting last week.

Other news

  • We have selected the new team reps and published the blog post. The new team will begin their activities from December 2025, and the onboarding will be completed before then. Read more here:  https://make.wordpress.org/training/2025/11/18/meet-your-2026-training-team-representatives/
  • After the nomination and selection officially ended, we created a Call for Admin Team Members. It is still open, so if you think you have time and the will to join the admin team and help us, leave a comment, and we will get back to you. Next week, we will start with the admin team onboarding process. Stay tuned!
  • We decided to stop drinking coffee on Saturdays – we do not like to drink coffee solo, so when you decide to share it with us, we will reactivate the session. Once again, big thanks to @rfluethi for organizing Coffee Hour sessions!

Help Secure the Learn WordPress Code Examples

To provide the Training Team contributors a space to host code samples for educational content, the team maintains a separate 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 be the repository owner. https://github.com/ organisation at https://github.com/wptrainingteam.

In 2023, access to manage repositories in this organisation was opened up to writers for the WordPress Developer Blog, so that they could also host code examples for developer blog posts.

This GitHub organisation currently contains 137 code repositories, with more added as new developer lessons are created or new developer blog posts are published.

As with any public code, there is a risk of exposing consumers to outdated or insecure dependencies. It is therefore vital to ensure that all these repositories are automatically checked for security vulnerabilities and regularly updated.

@bph recently noticed that none of the repositories in this GitHub organisation where being checked for security updates. After some investigation, we discovered that GitHub can automatically scan all repositories in an organisation using a tool called Dependabot.

Unfortunately, just enabling Dependabot on the GitHub organisation is not enough, some manual work is required. Each repository needs to include workflows that automatically scan the repository, create a pull request to update any outdated or insecure dependencies, and automatically merge the new pull request.

This is where we need your help.

We are asking Training Team members to assist in reviewing the existing repositories, and created the required files where needed. The Training Team handbook contains a new guide on how to Set up Up Dependabot for WP Training Team repositories.

If you’d like to help, pick a code repository from the WP Training Team Repositories sheet, and follow the instructions to create the pull request containing the three required files (as detailed in the handbook page).

Once the pull request is created, please request a review on the Pull Request from any of the following people:

Thank you for helping us keep our code repositories updated and secure for all users.

According to our handbook, Team reps is selected for 2 years, 1 year to learn and another year to serve. Co-Team Reps are eligible to serve as Team Reps next year if they are available. We have a wonderful team, and all three of us are available.
      However, I’d like to hear your thoughts on the best approach for selecting Team Reps for next year. What would be the best approach to select team reps for next year?
      1) All three of us continue as Team Reps for the upcoming year.
      2) We open an interest form to allow new contributors to express their interest.
      If you’d prefer not to share your feedback publicly, feel free to DM me instead.
      • @rfluethi: I think we should stick with the current Team Reps – I’m very happy with their work. At the same time, it would be great to further develop and highlight the other roles, so that the responsibility doesn’t rest solely with the Team Reps.
      • @rollybueno: While I’m happy as well with the current Team Reps, I think we still need to follow what’s on the handbook.

Meeting Note Takers

Here is our current note-taker roster:

Looking for feedback

  • We’ve had a lot of discussions around the certification process, but now it’s time to move things forward. We’re considering issuing certificates specifically for course cohort students. Unlike automated course completion certificates which can sometimes be misused cohorts are different. In a cohort, students must actively participate in regular classes, complete assessments, and pass an exam before earning a certificate.
    • We’d love your feedback to refine this process and move ahead. You can find more details here: #3247

Looking for volunteers

  • We’re planning to organize local workshops to make the sessions more engaging and inspiring. Whether you’re a first-time speaker or an experienced presenter, if you feel confident covering a WordPress-related topic, you’re welcome to participate. You can also choose to co-host a workshop by teaming up with someone who already has speaking experience at different events.
    • If you’re interested in volunteering for this task, simply leave a comment, and we’ll provide the necessary instructions to get started.
