HelpHub Development
@milana_cap was not able to attend, but supplied a Phase 1 Dev Update:
We are still waiting for any kind of response on this one https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4267
Is there anything we should or can do to make things get a bit faster merged for HelpHub?
Asked: @clorith if he’d have some time to help push Development decisions ahead as we have the Meta 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 help now.
DISCUSSION:
@ibdz proposed a design related to ticket 4267
*with the below suggestions
https://github.com/WordPress/HelpHub/issues/245
-Sidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. navigation for HelpHub (match DevHub and overall wp.org Meta)
-Add breadcrumb
-The right sidebar should be more selective and link to main sections (not implemented in this design yet)
-Propose the accordion solution for “For devs” section
@kenshino asked the status of this proposal and it was discussed that this would be looked at during WCEU and that the Design Team may also have some input.
@ibdz said that we can do the patch for now, according to the latest update design in About page.
Gutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ Handbook
@chrisvanpatten reported he is working on moving over to the `wp/` branch and cleaning up some of the code on the Gutenberg side and that he feels other than the backend docs infrastructure cleanup, the handbook content itself is “stable” at this point.
He invited anyone that has documentation ideas or requests, or want visibility on existing ideas, to feel free to create or comment on GitHub 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/.
@kenshino thanked @chrisvanpatten and Contributors for their work and detail of the documentation and both confirmed that this should now be able to be moved to a regular check in.
@kenshino also requested @chrisvanpatten supply a list of those who worked on the project so that they can be assigned Contributor and Team badges.
Best use of the More Info field on DevHub
https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2019/05/13/the-best-way-to-use-the-more-info-section/
@kenshino commented about there being some notes about how to utilize this and asked @juliobox to map out his ideas on how to move ahead and move into giving him access to try working with these for a period of time and then look back for feedback. @juliobox expressed willingness to moderate the user_notes.
@aurooba has notes from when the conversation originally came up and will add them to the comments so that @juliobox can use these for his mapping of ideas.
Centralised API An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. Handbook on DevHub
https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4376
@kenshino stated we just need to agree to work on it and would if there were no objections forthcoming with the ticket.
Google Season of Docs
@kenshino reported that we did not end up participating in this for two main reasons:
1. Everyone who would want to participate needed to submit their own applications, and we couldn’t get it done in time.
2. We couldn’t find two people willing to act as the financial contacts.
*we’ll try again next time keeping this in mind, with more time
