I'm creating a page for the main information to know for new contributors (seen with @harishankerr), this will be in the handbook, as a child page of the Contributor mentorship main page.

Your list of resources is a wonderful idea, let's make it yet another child page there?

I will also propose more links to WP+external resources here (over the next weeks during the mentorship program)

@harishankerr shared this one in the channel
How to write SMART goals

I added all the recent videos from the February-March 2024 Contributor Mentorship program on that page: How and where to start contributing

I think that page should be moved out of the "Contributor Day event" handbook for organizers and go to the main Contributor handbook that has not been updated for a long time

@patriciabt How and where to start contributing

I think that page should be moved out of the "Contributor Day event" handbook for organizers and go to the main Contributor handbook that has not been updated for a long time

This would be good to be added to the recently created repository for the contributor handbook: https://github.com/WordPress/contributor-handbook

@CoachBirgit
yes once the link is changed (if it moves)
