Docs Chat: June 5, 2014

Thank you to everyone who came.

The following is a summary of the topics discussed:

1. DevHub: @siobhan said Post2Posts will be bundled with the parser. @coffee2code will be implementing source code on the individual pages, as well as the examples functionality. Feedback is still needed on implementing explanations in the code reference, and differentiation on the search results pages.

2. Handbooks: @blobaugh said part one of the Theme Developer Handbook is on schedule to be completed by early next week. Two sections of 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 are almost complete, and should be done by next week, with one more section near completion. If you are interested in getting involved, contact @blobaugh and @sewmyheadon at the email addresses listed in this post. The subject of a style guide for the handbooks was brought up in this week’s handbooks chat. I noted that the Docs Handbook has a style guide and a tutorial template for reference.

3. Admin Help: @Clorith said he still needs to talk with @jenmylo about working with local 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. organizers to identify areas that their new users are struggling with.
