Devhub update 1st June

IRC Logs
Thanks to everyone who came to the meeting. These were the major discussions:

  • Deprecated files – a decision was made by the docs team to not use a deprecated tag in the file header. We need to decide on whether we’re using CPTs for files (if we do we get deprecated for free)
  • #176 Source code on individual pages – to be implemented by @coffee2code this week
  • @coffee2code confirmed that posts2post can be used on 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/. @Rarst has opened up a ticket to discuss p2p implementation. The options are to either treat it as a Composer library and require it in the parser. Or to assume p2p is enabled as a 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 and run the parser alongside it. Please provide feedback.
  • we discussed settling the theme repository on SVNSVN Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after its command name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system. Software developers use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS). WordPress core and the wordpress.org released code are all centrally managed through SVN. https://subversion.apache.org/. and scrapping the repo on GithubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/. In order to do this, we’ll first need to update the devhub instructions to use tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. tickets and patches rather than GH pull requests.
  • still pending: better differentiation on search results pages, explanations in the code reference
