On August 1, the new Learn.WordPress.org went live. 🎉 Huge congratulations to everyone involved in this project, which has been so long in the making!
It was announced publicly in this Make Training Team post, and this WordPress.org News post.
This week there will be a few marketing initiatives to get the word out and introduce people to the new site:
There has already been a positive review in WPShout.
(I also updated the project p2 thread with the same info: https://make.wordpress.org/training/2023/07/07/project-thread-learning-pathways-on-learn-wordpress/#comment-4327)
As part of the Faculty Program retirement plan, I wrote up a new handbook page with a brief history of the Training Team and requested feedback. Thank you to all who provided suggestions and clarifications. I've gone ahead and published the new page, including a note at the bottom that if anyone has further clarifications or corrections to suggest, they can fill out the contact form, which will come into Help Scout.

Via Nilo Velez:
You can filter by the "Learn WordPress" category https://wordpress.tv/category/learn-wordpress/
You can even subscribe to its feed https://wordpress.tv/category/learn-wordpress/feed/
In order for this to work, we need to remember to add the Learn WordPress
category when submitting videos to WordPress.tv. For Online Workshops, the category Learn WordPress Online Workshops
should be added as well. Full steps to submitting a Learn WordPress video in these guides:
