@jessecowens, I'm checking in to see if you're still keen to create the REST API lessons, starting with this one.

If you are, please comment on the lesson, and I'll assign it to you.

I generally work on giving folks about a week to write the script, and another week to create the first video draft, but let me know if this timing sounds unreasonable.

Hi @jonathanbossenger yes, I'd still like to take this module, I was just a little delayed coming back from WCUS last week. I'll have updates before the weekly meeting tomorrow

Thanks @jessecowens, totally understood about being delayed after travelling to a flagship WordCamp.

HI @jessecowens I wanted to follow up with you and find out how it's going. Do you still feel that you'll have time to contribute to this and the other lessons in this module
