Thanks for your interest, folks. I'll kick things off here next week.

I'd like to help with brainstorming and outlining.

Putting on my journalist hat, I think it's worth exploring an alternative angle (as in, not the standard marketing-oriented boilerplate).

A few examples:

• Interview a few learners about their experience.
• Share behind the scenes stories about the process, technical aspects, production workflows.
• An overview of the project: why, how, what's next. Highlight the team's pedagogical approach etc.

Great ideas @ironnysh

Perhaps we should start with adding all these ideas to the shared Google doc, and forming an outline?

Not sure how best to reach out to learners, but maybe we can look through the feedback surveys?

Thanks, @jonathanbossenger!

• Added to the doc.
• Outline: I actually thought of these as separate articles :-) Let's proceed with an outline once we decide which one?
• Reach out to learners: maybe we can post an “open call” on http://make.wordpress.org/training/ and social media? I don't have access to feedback surveys—do they include these sorts of more personal, open-ended questions? And, are we allowed to use them?

So, the original idea was to publish a guest post on https://dothewoo.io/ to promote the new Learn WordPress website. That's why your points make sense to cover everything you've mentioned in the article.

I've started a WIP outline in the shared Google Doc.

It's very bare bones at the moment, so I encourage everyone to share their thoughts and make suggestions. Let's brainstorm this for the week; no idea is a silly one.

Once we have all the ideas, we can spend next week on finalising the outline.

I am going to be on leave for the rest of this week, and then after that, it's Christmas and New Year weeks, so let's gather back again in the new year to pick this up.
