  • Help & feedback wanted:
    •  The Training Team’s Content Localization Foundations project has kicked off, and they’re currently at the stage of looking for folks to volunteer as Locale Ambassadors. Spanish, Japanese, German, French, and Italian are the five starting languages they are searching for Locale Ambassadors in (This was based on the most used languages in the WordPress.org stats page). Of course, these five are meant to be a starting point and not a decisive list, so we are happy if volunteers who speak other languages are interested as well. Please feel free to reach out to @piyopiyofox directly if you are interested in learning more. They are currently in the recruiting phase and next steps will be shared with volunteers in the project thread from early December.
    • Call for Polyglots Team Representatives is open until November 30, 2022. So far, we have six nominated contributors that are interested in accepting the role. Keep the suggestions coming. 🙌🏻

  • Help & feedback wanted:
    • @evarlese asked about moderation: Likewise, I’m wondering about moderation. Will PTEs, GTEs, and global mentors be able to moderate discussions? It might be helpful to take some practices from the Support team for adding flags, notes, etc. (or use what’s already available in forum profiles). Now that people have some experience with comments, is there a need for specific tools at the moment?
    • In the last meeting, @psmits1567 commented he found confusing the “Reply” and “Post comment” buttons. He proposed to hide the bottom form in the discussion page and show a new “Create a new thread” button to show the bottom form. Below, we propose a solution to this problem. Take a look at the “Hiding the bottom form” section.
    • Make WordPress RSS page (https://make.wordpress.org/overview/) needs a name that can translate well. Share your thoughts in @courane01 ‘s Slack thread here.

Hiding the bottom form

When you are replying to a comment at the bottom of the page, you will see 2 different forms, so it could be confusing.

We propose to hide it. Take a look to the next GIF.
