Summary for HelpHub Bug Scrub 31 August 2017

There were no closed issues or pull requests since our last bug scrubs. However, we had a good discussion about home page template and search functionality. These are going to be the main focus in following period. We are hoping to have intuitive search and helpful home page in order to prevent asking the same questions in forums.

Home Page Template

Home page template discussion is happening here. Please feel free to join, everyone’s opinion is welcomed.

Search Epic

Initial plans included Elastic Search for search functionality. This is something we want to apply with addition to possible usage of WP REST API for refining search results via filters. Again, feel free to join discussion, share experiences and ideas, or even code. Any help is welcomed.

Issues/PRs under Search epic: #8, #9, #47 and #37.

Huge thank you to all who contributed, you’re mega heroes.

Next

Now that development tools are synced with the rest of make teams (thanks to @netweb), we can move on with design and functionality. It is noted that we should have clear(er) direction and goals, and bug scrubs should guide towards these goals.

That being said, next main focus should be search functionality and home page template.

Home Page Template

We already have some great ideas for home page and design proposal by @mapk.

Search Epic

We want HelpHub to have powerful search functionality and template. This is one of first places end user will come for information and all information should be easy accessed and found. Issues/PRs under Search epic: #8, #9, #47 and #37.

Next bug scrub will happen today, Thursday, August 31, 2017, 17:00 UTC in #docs channel and you all are invited. We can discuss all the issues but keep in mind the focus on home page template and Search.

Summary for Helphub Meeting August 22nd

Migration/Editing

The introduction pages for contributing to HelpHub, in the docs handbook, have been updated to help with onboarding new contributors, and a contributor document has been added to the project on GitHub.

General migration of documentation is moving along at a decent pace.

Design

Input is being provided on the various visual elements of the project, and tickets are being created for tasks that need addressing in relation to this.

Development

Documentation on code contributions is in the works.

We’re also looking into possibly having everything under a team as it can become messy to mix plugins and themes in one large repository, splitting plugins into separate repositories for management purposes would help with that and needs a team to keep track of the mall in one location (as a continuation on the sub-modules discussion form last week).

Attendance

@kenshino, @milana_cap, @sergeybiryukov, @atachibana, @davidmlentz, @picturecities, @mapk, @clorith, @kafleg, @hugo-finley and @joyously attended.

Summary for Helphub Meeting 15 August 2017

Attendance

@kenshino @sergey @picturecities @davidmlentz @bravokeyl @aion11 @atachibana @mapk @andrealeebishop @joyously @clorith @milana_cap

Migration / Editing

Content is shaping up to a final state at steadily pace and can be released as is. Editing work on Helphub should be viewed as an iterative process. It is reported (by @atachibana) that HelpHub team has more than 3 active editors. @joyously pointed out that the migration workflow is hard to understand in Documentation Handbook – @atachibana @bishop will help to work on it.

Design

Design is currently focused on UX, @mapk is doing marvelous job on reporting issues and proposing solutions. Aim is to get back to UX design once the UI gets to a level where developers and editors can actually use the site in a proper manner.. Testing UX with real users could give valuable feedback and @mapk volunteered to help with this.

Development

Huge leap has been done since last meeting. Travis issues have been fixed and theme styles converted to sass partials for easier collaboration. All thanks to @clorith. UX issues are also started to be taken care of. It is noted that introducing sass and gulp can result in narrowing possible contribution to code due to lack of guidelines on how to use them.

AOB

GIT Submodules

It is suggested by @kenshino to use GIT Submodules as the method to pull in plugins that that are already pre-approved by WordPress.org or the Helphub Team (such as Jetpack, SyntaxHighlighter etc). This way these pre-approved plugins can skip Travis and reduce the complexity on the code base. Custom built plugins by our collaborators should still be submitted via the normal commit and subsequent code review process.

Bugscrubs

As proposed on last meeting, in attempt to move things forward Development team had first bugscrubs last week. Attempt seem to be successful which will be reported in separate post.

Conclusions / Tasks

It is quite unclear how to contribute to HelpHub team, or Documentation team in general. We want more people to be able to help…. Helphub so we’re working on the following tasks:

  • Better explanation of how to contribute to HelpHub with content – allocated to @atachibana and @andrealeebishop
  • UX testing with real users – allocated to @mapk
  • Detailed guide for contributing to HelpHub with code (including setting up development environment and using grunt, gulp and sass) – allocated to @clorith and @milana_cap
  • GIT workflow explained and documented – allocated to @kenshino
