## Attendance

[@clorith](https://profiles.wordpress.org/clorith/) attended

There were no Content & Design updates in the meeting; we’ll catch up with them 
the next!

## Development Updates

We’re still missing the side bar and it’s related work to be done to finish up Phase
1. While the majority of Phase 1 is complete, without those items in, discovery 
of content would be next to impossible. 

We’re definitely looking to finish those items before launch. It turns out as well
that the 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. team is busy with GDPR and launch would likely get delayed anyway!

[@felipeelia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/felipeelia/) volunteered to work on
the side bar

[@clorith](https://profiles.wordpress.org/clorith/) will have a chat with [@netweb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/netweb/)
about the likely merge of all code into Meta first week of June

[@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) would really like to be able
to announce HelpHub’s launch during WCEU

We have also decided to punt primary categories and keep articles without a categoryCategory
The 'category' taxonomy lets you group posts / content together that share a common
bond. Categories are pre-defined and broad ranging. base for permalinks for Phase
1. A deeper look into how articles are discovered is necessary before we decide 
on the role of permalinks in such.

## Bug Scrub

 * https://github.com/Kenshino/HelpHub/issues/201 – We’re hoping [@atachibana](https://profiles.wordpress.org/atachibana/)
   can pick this up as he wrote the original code
 * https://github.com/Kenshino/HelpHub/issues/152 – This is an improvement to the
   local development tool, it’s not urgent and we’re hoping for [@tomjn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/tomjn/)
   to put up a PR once he’s less busy with VVV 🙂
 * https://github.com/Kenshino/HelpHub/issues/50 – this might be useful if we have
   a lot of code snippets. But not important for Phase 1 so punted.
 * https://github.com/Kenshino/HelpHub/issues/9 – While it is likely the Support
   Forums will boot up an Elasticsearch instance to handle search. Getting the instance
   up is only a tiny part of the entire effort to make search an intuitive and useful
   experience. Getting the content indexed is easy but we’ll have to work on the
   UX and teach it to understand the content we’re building. This is likely a Phase
   2 or a Phase 3 effort.
