We have Meetup topics for self-hosted WordPress users and developers of themes and plugins (organized by Steve Bruner), WordPress.com users who are often beginners to WordPress or content creators (organized by Winstina Hughes), and a WordPress Help Desk where members can ask questions, seek solutions to pressing challenges and share expertise (organized by Scott Becker).
