Docs Meetup Roundup – Sept 19, 2013

Here’s a summary of today’s Docs chat:

1. Handbooks

@hanni has adopted the 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 Handbook and will be acting editor to drive progress.

@sewmyheadon is editing the Theme Developer Handbook.

2. Monthly Meetups

WP Seattle’s Monthly Docs Improvement Meetup is this Saturday, September 21, 2013 at 10am PT / 1pm ET. If you can’t make it in-person, you can still help by logging into the IRC channel and working remotely.

@sewmyheadon will also be organizing a second monthly Docs Improvement 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., which will be virtual only.  Dates coming soon.

Hopefully, by having two Meetups per month, we’ll be able to make real progress on the Handbooks.

3. devhub

Siobhan posted notes on this week’s developer.wordpress.org meeting.

4. Codex Spam

@kimparsell posted about a rise of spam in the Codex.

We need to still be vigilant about taking care of anything spammy found in the Codex. mrmist and the other folks do a great job, but can always use an extra set of eyes to spot things.

5. Inline Docs

The Inline Docs weekly meeting yesterday addressed some workflow issues. All resolved, things should be much smoother moving forward.

DrewAPicture has been given guest commit priviledges for the Inline Docs.

That’s all for this week – have a great weekend!
