CategoryCategory The 'category' taxonomy lets you group posts / content together that share a common bond. Categories are pre-defined and broad ranging. Editors

@normalize will be Category Editor for ‘Getting Started’

Other editors are still pondering.

One-topic Articles

All articles should be on one specific topic only – I think it’s a good idea and this is how we’re separating the Security Articles. E.g. 2FA is one article instead of one sub section in a huge security article.
Editors should sort out articles into bite-able and functional chunks as a priority – In general think about what kind of things people would ask.
Guides
Guides are logical grouping of single topic articles. For example, a person looking into 2FA solutions for security, may also follow a guide that contains that information with other security recommendations. This does not however distract a person looking for specific information.
TrelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing.
All work should be documented on Trello

I believe we’re building some solid code now with @netweb, @miyauchi and a few others that are putting up Travis CI and writing Unit Tests.
@carl-alberto is working on the Category WidgetWidget A WordPress Widget is a small block that performs a specific function. You can add these widgets in sidebars also known as widget-ready areas on your web page. WordPress widgets were originally created to provide a simple and easy-to-use way of giving design and structure control of the WordPress theme to the user.

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/). See this link to get started.
Developers
We need more developers so that everyone can have a bite size task. Not a full time job 🙂

Open Floor

A deeper discussion regarding the WP_Versions post type that houses all information about WordPress version was had with @ramiy, he will be submitting a pull request for review. In general, he suggests more information should be placed in metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. fields so that it can be retrieved via the REST APIREST API The REST API is an acronym for the RESTful Application Program Interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data.
