Comment (by critterverse):

 Hi everyone, wanted to share a quick update on the About page —

 The copy has gone through ~3 rounds of revisions and I’ve included the
 [https://docs.google.com/document/d/17jn6MKUtiLkwo_cAwKdpKiCrkilxbIuNkEdWEeNB6Sg/edit?usp=sharing
 latest version] in the design mockups. I think we could probably start
 making edits directly in the
 [https://www.figma.com/file/kPC54qq59R1c5d2nvEnbKj/About-Page-5.9?node-
 id=212%3A9445 Figma file] from here (please add your notes as comments)!

 🚨 We do still need copy for the developer notes section at the bottom of
 the page. However, the layout of this section won’t be changing much for
 this release so this shouldn’t be a blocker for dev work to begin. 🚨

 One update on the callout for Learn workshops at the bottom of the page:
 Since the [https://wordpress.org/news/2021/11/a-look-at-wordpress-5-9/
 Introducing WordPress 5.9 video] that we discussed incorporating somehow
 contains “coming soon” language (and is not being updated with a new
 voiceover as far as I know), I’ve included it as a thumbnail image rather
 than a video embed directly on the page. When clicked, the video could
 open on the [https://learn.wordpress.org/workshops
 learn.wordpress.org/workshops] page. It would also be nice if the
 thumbnail could have a rollover effect with a dark overlay color and play
 button (see uploaded GIF).

 Thanks all! See you online in the new year 👋
