These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party dev handbooks, we’ve decided to arrange for weekly office hours during which myself, Tom and/or Rachel will be available.

The office hours will be time for us to review where we are and deal with any queries or issues. You’re also welcome to come along during that time and collaboratively work on any content.

The office hours will be every Wednesday starting on 6th March:

Plugin Development Handbook: 3pm UTC (in your time zone)
Theme Development Handbook: 8pm UTC (in your time zone)

We’ll be meeting in irc.freenode.net in the #wordpress-sfd chat room.

Note that on the 13th March, both Rachel and I will be out in the evening, so the Theme Dev folks can come along to the plugin dev chat if they have any issues. Otherwise, we’ll meet as usual at 8pm on 20th March.
