Title: Docs Meetup Roundup – Sept 12, 2013 Author: Eric Amundson Published: September 13, 2013 Last modified: February 27, 2014 --- [ ](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sewmyheadon/) [Eric Amundson](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sewmyheadon/) 6:46 pm _on_ September 13, 2013 Tags: [chat recap ( 49 )](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/tag/chat-recap/) # Docs Meetup Roundup – Sept 12, 2013 Happy Friday Folks, Here’s a summary of yesterday’s Docs Chat: ## 1. Issue Tracker for Docs Sam posted a [spec for the Docs Issue Tracker](https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2013/09/12/documentation-issue-tracker-specification/). Please help out by posting questions or comments regarding the issue tracker in the comments of the spec. ## 2. Add Media in the Codex Just a little more work needed on the new _Add Media_ page in the Codex.  Thanks to [@DrewAPicture](https://profiles.wordpress.org/DrewAPicture/) for his great work! ## 3. Inline Docs [@kimparsell](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kimparsell/) reported that the inline docs standard is pretty much finalized, so additions are only happening where we need clarification. **Office hours:** Inline Docs are holding weekly office hours on Wednesdays at 18: 00 UTC in #wordpress-dev IRC channel. ## 4. Admin Help Videos [@jazzs3quence](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jazzs3quence/) posted latest [notes from the Admin Help meeting](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2013/09/09/admin-help-meeting-recap/). These folks could still use help too. ## 5. Handbooks I’ve re-inventoried the Theme Dev Handbook trying to match what’s in the Theme Dev Handbook with its corresponding spreadsheet.  It’s pretty much up-to-date at the moment, but there’s still a lot to do.  Get in touch with me if you’d like to help. 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/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/) or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. Dev Handbook still needs an editor to help drive and organize progress. ## 6. Monthly Docs Improvement Meetups We’re holding monthly Docs Improvement Meetups in Seattle and want to encourage other Meetups and groups to do the same, or participate in the Seattle Docs 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/](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. remotely. I’ll be publishing a post here shortly with a few tips for organizing your own Docs Improvement Meetup. We’re also considering starting up another monthy virtual Docs Improvement Meetup where we’ll meet over IRC and collaborate on docs together, so we can hopefully knock out the Handbooks soon. Details to follow next week. ## 7. devhub (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/](https://wordpress.org/)󠁿) **Design Mockups:** The talented [@saracannon](https://profiles.wordpress.org/saracannon/) posted a design mockup for the handbooks here: http://s.sar.ac/image/2r0c3P3d2J3q– it’s lovely.  Thanks Sara! **Office hours:** devhub will now have regular office hours on Tuesdays at 16:00 UTC. **TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/). tickets:** [@sams](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sams/) has also added [Trac tickets for devhub](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=!closed&component=developer.wordpress.org).

Would you be able to make our Docs Chat next Thursday at 16: 00 UTC in [#wordpress-sfd](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/tag/wordpress-sfd/)? * You’re right, there’s duplication across make.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/](https://wordpress.org/), but we want to make sure that the Handbooks are self-contained, resources that a developer can use to learn theme dev in a linear fashion, so we’ll have a bit of duplication by design. - ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/eae9b03fdf1750ad9ecddf610003712fb406bce09006a0c4596071960057ea0e? s=32&d=mm&r=g) - [Ulrich](https://profiles.wordpress.org/grapplerulrich/) 9:26 pm _on_ September 16, 2013 - It will be difficult this week. Next week could work. ### Leave a Reply 󠀁[Cancel reply](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2013/09/13/docs-meetup-roundup-sept-12-2013/?output_format=md#respond)󠁿 You must be [logged in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fdocs%2F2013%2F09%2F13%2Fdocs-meetup-roundup-sept-12-2013%2F&locale=en_US) to post a comment. # Post navigation [← Regular meeting for developer.wordpress.org](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2013/09/12/regular-meeting-for-developer-wordpress-org/) [Codex Spam →](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2013/09/16/codex-spam/)
