Meeting notes: 21st October 2014

  • Today we talked about New Reviewers.
  • A reminder to not forget the new default theme Twenty Fifteen needs to be reviewed. We as a team can be really useful and submit patches along with review the theme. Particular areas of focus should be color schemes, scrolllbars and mobile. There is a weekly meeting in #wordpress-dev at 15:30 UTC every Tuesday.
  • The current handbook and guidelines are confusing, messy and horribly off-putting for a new reviewer.
  • We need to remove any outside links. A suggestion to remove the link to Chips checklist or bring the good points into the handbook in some way. We need to make sure things are updated and kept in one place.
  • We could do a persona exercise into who uses the handbook. UXUX UX is an acronym for User Experience - the way the user uses the UI. Think ‘what they are doing’ and less about how they do it. wise it’s not helping anyone currently as much as it could.
  • Mentoring hangouts could be a good idea where someone live goes through a review. People get to ask questions. Maybe record then have a session on repeat every few months.
