 The Training Team has a dream and would like to ask for help with the
 learn.wordpress.org (aka Learn) site. We have progressed far enough with
 updating our infrastructure and processes to want to begin thinking about
 the final location for our lesson plans once they are completed.

 We imagine that the use case of the learn.wordpress.org site would be as a
 place for people who are planning meetups and workshops to go to and
 search for ideas and resources for their event. For example:

 * Meetup organizer: “I have a one-hour meetup coming up where we’d like to
 talk about site backups”
 * Workshop organizer: “I have a half day where we want to help onboard
 people new to WordPress”

 It is thought that they will have a few things in mind when the come to
 the page:

 * an audience (users, designers, developers, speakers, etc.)
 * a duration (time constraint)
 * a topic, even if very general
 * possibly an teaching strategy (e.g., lecture, demonstration, hands-on
 exercises, etc.)
 * others?

 Therefore would would like to be able to help them search and filter
 resources by those criteria.

 We have requested help from the Design Team
 (https://trello.com/c/uOqHGjCC) but took the liberty of creating a first
 draft of wireframes, which are attached. We offer them up as a starting
 place for further discussion.

 We do not yet have fully vetted material to publish on the site.  It was
 thought that we should work with the Design Team and the Meta Team before
 that point as we would be happy to make adaptations for a better design
 and user experience.

 Our lesson plans are currently being worked on in GitHub
 (https://github.com/wptrainingteam) and we are managing our work on a
 Trello board (https://trello.com/b/BsfzszRM/wordpress-training-team-
 lesson-plan-development).

 A couple of pieces of the dream are that it would be possible to:
 * Push a big red button and send a completed lesson plan from GitHub to
 the Learn site.
 * Have one theme for all the lesson plan slides. That might require a
 place for “master” CSS and JS files. (Each lesson plan would have the HTML
 file.)
 * Bundle those CSS/JS/HTML file for downloading for offline use

 Can you help us think this through, let us know what is possible, and help
 build it out?
