WordPress Credits Mentor’s Course

Before you can contribute to WordPress, you need to know how the community works, where to find your people, and how to show up well. This module gets you set up: a WordPress.org profile, access to Slack, a shared understanding of how decisions get made in this open source project, and a first look at the language and translation tools you’ll be using throughout the program. You’ll also build your own WordPress site. This becomes your personal website, your testing ground, and the place where you’ll document your progress for the rest of the course. By the end of this module, you’ll be oriented in the WordPress community and have a personal site ready to build on. From here, you’ll move into the Project module, where you apply what you’ve learned toward a real contribution to the WordPress Polyglots team.

Wrap-up is where you close out your WP Credits journey. You’ll write and deliver a report on the contribution work you’ve done, receive your certificate, and give feedback that helps shape the program for future cohorts. This module is short by design. The real work happened in Onboarding, where you set up your website and got oriented in the WordPress community, and in Project, where you built translation skills and made real contributions to the WordPress Polyglots team and your locale team. Wrap-up is where you step back, reflect on that work, and formally close the loop.
