Docs Team Update for September 26, 2013

  • Virtual Docs Sprint Dates: We’ve got Virtual Docs Sprints (and in-person) scheduled twice each month through the end of the year. The more participation, the faster we’ve offer helpful resources like the Theme Developer Handbook and Plugin Developer Handbook.
  • Theme & PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party Developer Handbooks: progress has been slow, but the twice-monthly Docs Sprints are focusing on Handbooks to drive progress, which will help.
  • DevHub Landing Page: On developer.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ we’ve got some landing page designs from @saracannon.
  • Codex Spam is still a problem, so please keep your eyes open and follow the instructions in @kimparsell’s Codex Spam if you spot spam.
  • Inline Docs are making steady progress and had a productive weekly meetupMeetup All local/regional gatherings that are officially a part of the WordPress world but are not WordCamps are organized through https://www.meetup.com/. A meetup is typically a chance for local WordPress users to get together and share new ideas and seek help from one another. Searching for ‘WordPress’ on meetup.com will help you find options in your area. where they reviewed past week’s progress, re-evaluated the new workflow and made a few adjustments.
  • Admin Help volunteers are looking for mockups for new ideas if anyone has ideas/suggestions and can help.
