Docs Meetup Roundup – Sept 26, 2013

1. DevHub Landing Page

On 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/ – we’ve got some landing page designs from @saracannon so things are going in the right direction.  Here’s the writeup from last meeting.

2. Theme School Curriculum

Theme School Curriculum is happening on make/community. I’ll get in touch with Courtney to see how we might help each other.

3. Theme & 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 Handbooks

We’re making slow progress on the Handbooks. Two monthly Docs Meetups are working on Handbooks to drive progress.

Was some discussion about if/how to add Theme Hook Alliance to the Theme Dev Handbook and we decided that we’ll add it as a resource link rather than featuring a page.

4. Virtual Docs Dates

We’ve got a virtual 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/. 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. scheduled each month through the end of the year, currently posted on Seattle WordPress Meetup and soon to be posted here too.

There’s also an in-person Docs Meetup two weeks later and we’re always on IRC, so feel free to join in there too. The more participation, the faster we’ve got a terrific resource in the Handbooks.

5. Codex Spam

It’s still a problem, so please keep your eyes open and follow the instructions in @kimparsell’s Codex Spam post if you find spam.

6. Inline Docs

@kimparsell reported they’re making steady progress had a productive weekly meetup where they reviewed past week’s progress, re-evaluated the new workflow and made a few adjustments.

7. Admin Help

@jazzs3quence reported that the Admin Help volunteers are looking for mockups for new ideas, so if anyone has ideas/suggestions about how help can be handled, make a mockup and post it.
