2. Looking for feedback

• We’re currently updating the Training Team handbooks and would appreciate your input. To help prioritize translation efforts, which content do you think should be considered high priority for translation?
  Feedback - Suggest High Priority Content #3400

3. Looking for volunteers

• Our colleague @devmuhib009 updated two handbook pages, which can be used as guidance:

  • https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/training-team-how-to-guides/content-localization/translating-content/
  • https://make.wordpress.org/training/handbook/training-team-how-to-guides/content-localization/high-priority-content-to-translate/

• We need your help in finding all the content that could be updated and consolidated. We would love to have two groups of volunteers - one that will go through all the handbook content, and one that will check the courses. Please state your interest, and we will help you organize and start working on these important issues.

• Also, we started working on creating thumbnails for all lessons that need them. You’re very welcome to join us and contribute to this important and creative project. Here’s the issue with details on how to work on the remaining thumbnails:
  Create Thumbnails for Learn WordPress Lessons #3428

• We currently have 465 open issues. It would be great to get support in reviewing and reducing their number. You can help by:

  • Going through issues one by one
  • Identifying outdated or irrelevant issues
  • Suggesting fixes or next steps
  • Adding comments where needed (before closing or updating)

• Let’s work together to clean up and keep the repository well-organized
