Documentation Team Handbook Structure Proposal

For a long time our Handbook was almost completely useless for new contributors. It’s half empty and yet full of outdated information. We want to fix this. It won’t be easy and it needs much more than just a content update. It needs complete refactoring. And we need to change our perspective and treat it as one of our ongoing projects.

Refactoring progress is tracked in Trello board. This board is public and you are welcome to join, leave your comments or just follow the progress. Please note that this board is for refactoring purposes. Once we are done with it, it will be back to only team visible and used for documentation team’s work on Handbook. Contributions to the Handbook will be done through docs trac. Or at least we’ll try to use it.

In Trello board you can find proposed new structure and proposed changes for each page. Please take a look, think about its usability and how intuitive it is from the new contributor’s perspective and let’s discuss it on one of coming up docs meetings.

Proposed structure:

This marks following pages for removal:

Empty pages:

Unclear pages:

Outdated pages:

Merged to other pages:

Codex Migration (for DevHub)

The migration effort is being tracked via Trello and a Google Sheet. The board is now public and quite a few people voiced interest in helping to finish up the migration for DevHub.

@atachibana is leading the effort and revising the list of contributors so new contributors can actually pick up where things stopped.

A “How to contribute” post is being written @atachibana

DevHub

We’ll have to catch up with @drewapicture and @coffee2code in the next Doc meeting to get updates.

HelpHub

As we’re not any closer to merging Phase 1 in, @kenshino will be joining the Meta team meeting that week

Inline Docs

We’ll have to catch up with @atimmer and @drewapicture in the next Doc meeting to get updates.

Documentation Team Handbook

@milana_cap has created a Trello board to track this effort and has made this public.

She also has a few proposals on the board that she’s looking to get comments on before the next meeting so that the team can decide on it then.

Open Floor

@jeroenrotty will be representing Docs Team at WordCamp Brighton

The badge list for all team members and contributors were submitted and is being processed.

Codex Migration (DevHub)

@atachibana has picked up from @drewapicture to finish up the Codex Migration for articles relating to DevHub

Key factors that we look into while migrating

  1. What is relevant to developers
  2. What’s not longer relevant (because we only support stable WP in the code reference)
  3. What’s just plain wrong and needs to be stripped out

The work progress is being tracked via a Google Sheet

DevHub development

@coffee2code is responsible for DevHub’s development road map and @drewapicture is catching up with him to implement auto-approving for the feedback mechanism for authors that have had sustantial suggestions previously approved

HelpHub

We’ve been ready to launch for a little more than 1 month but it’s been stuck in limbo because of WordPress.org ‘s media upload restrictions.

There are only a few people who can directly upload the media files to the CDN and then we’ll still have to run the importer to get the content in (without dealing with uploads)

The media files to CDN thing is in an unclear state. But the content work is being looked at by Dion.

@kenshino will catch up with @coffee2code to look into the CDN issue.

A draft post to announce the launch of HelpHub and the deprecation of Codex is being planned.

Inline Docs

@sergeybiryukov has taken over most of @drewapicture‘s duties for inline documentation.

The Yoast team has been working hard on all core admin JS inline documentation.

The Docs team has invited @atimmer to join Docs Team meetings to update on JS inline documentation proceedings.

Docs Team Handbook Structure

The Docs Team spends a lot of time creating docs all over the WordPress ecosystem but ends up not being able to improve our own internal handbook.

The official Docs Team Trello group is at https://trello.com/wordpressdocs and we have setup the Docs Team handbook restructure board at https://trello.com/b/1NtDI3lb/docs-team-handbook

@milana_cap is in charge of this project so please ping her if you’re interested to help make the Docs  Team’s documentation better 🙂

Feedback for Docs Team handbook

We’ve decided to adopt the use of https://docs.trac.wordpress.org/ to allow the public to give feedback on the Docs Team handbook.

This allow us to

  • Attribute accountability
  • Tie into Slack notifications
  • Tie into WordPress.org accounts

We might consider using that for more areas but we’ll take one step at a time!

Next Meeting

The next Docs Team meeting will be on 13 August Monday. This week (6 August), we’ll be having the HelpHub meeting at 15:00 UTC.
