Content Maintenance Plan

Over the next two weeks, please add your thoughts on this question on the post linked below:

What is Learn WordPress’s north star and content commitments?

• For example, we have the WordPress Codex, Documentation, and Developer handbook sites which contain plenty of out of date content for those not on the most recent versions of WordPress. Do we really feel it’s necessary to duplicate this content further on Learn WordPress?
• Is Learn WordPress the site where folks come to about the most relevant and up to date content on WordPress? Is it the place where we encourage and guide folks to be at the forefront of the software?

We also need a couple of folks to help move along this project. Who's interested in helping guide a plan for ongoing content maintenance for Learn WordPress? If you're looking for a way to get more involved with the Training Team, this might be it!

EDIT: Going to hold off on this, pending results of the current North Star survey question.
