  • How to vet content topic ideas for the WordPress Training Team

    Speaker: Benjamin Evans

    July 13, 2023 — Learn.WordPress.org (Learn WordPress) is the WordPress project’s official learning platform. Contributors from all around the world create new content for Learn WordPress regularly.

    Before a piece of content is created, the topic of that content is vetted for accuracy and relevance. Learning objectives are set, and related resources are collected. These tasks are completed by the team’s Subject Matter Experts.

    If you are interested in sharing your expertise and contributing to the Training Team as a Subject Matter Expert, then this Online Workshop is for you! Come join Ben as he walks through the topic vetting process, explaining each step along the way.
