2. Looking for feedback

• Proposal for Certification process - We've kicked off an engaging discussion about Certification, whether it's needed, and how it could be integrated into the current Learn WordPress workflow. You're welcome to join the conversation and help shape the future of WordPress Learn - Feedback - plans to offer verifiable certifications upon course completion #3247

• We had a very productive Coffee Hour meeting. All members managed to compile an interesting list of proposals, possible projects, and updates, and it would be great if you could join and share your opinion - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ilJaxprABcHpoayws8HINNBhwro1Toc-MqrrCm0p6LM/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.ywi41fpsf8lk.

Remember, every voice counts!

• We need a note-taker for August 19th and 26th. You can apply by replying to this thread or by sending a message in the Training channel (or using DM). Please bear in mind that you can be a note-taker only once per month and five times in total.

3. Looking for volunteers

• We’ve made significant progress on the thumbnail generator project, with most thumbnails successfully updated. However, a few content thumbnails still use outdated designs or don’t comply with our thumbnail generator guidelines. If you’re interested in volunteering for this task, simply leave a comment, and we’ll provide the necessary instructions to get started.
• We need to update all the handbook content and courses/lessons. For starters, we need to find and label all outdated content and create a list of all broken links.
• Some open feedbacks needs validation. If you want to start your contribution journey, this is the easiest way to start:
  • Feedback - typo in Mentoring Community Organizers Quiz #3246
  • Feedback - Answered the lesson questions was Reset after 7-10 days #3250
  • Feedback - Utilize the Gallery Block in Beginner WordPress Designer Course #3221
