Most typically done when changing hosting companies. from Codex to HelpHub & DevHub: [@atachibana](https://profiles.wordpress.org/atachibana/) provided update spreadsheet: [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15hpEbbnuWJZ0DJafyCeG3CFRMtSxX1gY-RObrrjzzdw/edit#gid=0](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15hpEbbnuWJZ0DJafyCeG3CFRMtSxX1gY-RObrrjzzdw/edit#gid=0) Redirection has been started from Codex to DevHub (Code Reference) and writing down detail steps so that other contributors can follow. There are two types of items: 1. simple redirection 2. After some inline docs modification and redirection *in case of 2, contributors need knowledge of TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.[https://core.trac.wordpress.org/](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/). [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) asked for statistics. [@atachibana](https://profiles.wordpress.org/atachibana/) reported below: 18.93% (170/898) of Functions have been redirected.

[@leogermani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/leogermani/) reported that he’s started working on them, mapping what needs to be done. (Hope to get 50 most accessed ready to redirect this month) [@leogermani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/leogermani/) posed a question: see this example: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/pre_get_posts](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/pre_get_posts) There is a related article section down below, and other related links to the docs. What do you think is best to do? Keep the links pointing to the codex? are they being migrated as well? *”related articles” section [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) replied that most are already likely in DevHub. (The LoopLoop The Loop is PHP code used by WordPress to display posts. Using The Loop, WordPress processes each post to be displayed on the current page, and formats it according to how it matches specified criteria within The Loop tags. Any HTML or PHP code in the Loop will be processed on each post. [https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop](https://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop) is likely an article in Theme/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/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/) or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. handbook for example Code Documentation– some of them could already be redirected) [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) suggested to take this as an overall epic task to redirect/migrate code references that aren’t already *and also finish the example posed in the question at the same time [@leogermani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/leogermani/) looked for this one and didn’t find. “query overview” -> [https://codex.wordpress.org/Query_Overview](https://codex.wordpress.org/Query_Overview) [@atachibana](https://profiles.wordpress.org/atachibana/) suggested it should be included in Common APIAPI 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. *general programming topics are covered by it [@leogermani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/leogermani/) asked for another tab to be added to the tracking spreadsheet in order to track these, [@atachibana](https://profiles.wordpress.org/atachibana/) confirmed he will do this. [@kartiks16](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kartiks16/) offered to help in this process [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) asked if WP_Query was redirected yet. [@leogermani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/leogermani/) reported it is and pointed out that some h3 titles are not being added to the TOC for some reason. [@atachibana](https://profiles.wordpress.org/atachibana/) pointed out that If there are no other I18N pages, then automatic redirection tag will be inserted. In this case, other language pages exist so there is a link ## HelpHub Development: [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/): While working on trac patches I realised that having separate git and svn repo is a small nightmare so I’ve been looking for a way to work on them in the same local repo. I’m writing bash script to make it easier for everyone else to get this set up in their locals, for both, first timers and people who already have installations. [@netweb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/netweb/) reported that he has making these synced to make contribution easier on his task list. [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) posed her idea to have one branch in out 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 by the repository owner. [https://github.com/](https://github.com/) repo dedicated to production, where we would create the actual svn patches. [@netweb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/netweb/) liked the idea. [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) and [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) agreed since [@netweb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/netweb/) has already been working on a plan for this scenario, that he and [@sergey](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sergey/) be involved. [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) and @mailana_cap reported lost ssh access on HelpHub Staging. [@clorith](https://profiles.wordpress.org/clorith/) reported that he has it and should be able to add back, will look at when back from being off. ## Docs Team Handbook: [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) suggested that in order to get this together, that it be split so that appropriate people are responsible for their part of it. [@atachibana](https://profiles.wordpress.org/atachibana/) is already spearheading editing HelpHub content parts. [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) suggested a Zoom call after the HelpHub Meeting. ## Rosetta Sites – HelpHub Deployment Progress: [@casiepa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/casiepa/) reported Japan is done: [https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4575](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4575) * 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. is waiting for some fixes before further installs, such as the planned Serbia. [@netweb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/netweb/) was asking for documentation on this. [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) reported one of the issues were the article slugs, which is done now. [@casiepa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/casiepa/) reported being ready to deployDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors. all active from the moment the green light is given (and some basic instructions if required) Serbia is planned first, then there are 6 or 7 following that are on the list. Then there will be a transition to deployingDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors. all the Rosetta sites that have /support active. [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) suggested giving the proper time to gather feedback after Japan and Serbia. ## Centralised API Handbook: [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) asked for updates on the API Handbooks and also the WordPress.tv API inclusions. [@casiepa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/casiepa/) reported these are actively on his task list and [@atachibana](https://profiles.wordpress.org/atachibana/) reported he will be following as well. [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) suggested [@atachibana](https://profiles.wordpress.org/atachibana/) nominate somebody to lead the effort. First step could very well be moving the common topics over e.g. – The Loop, Internalization, etc. [@leogermani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/leogermani/) offered to help with the internationalization topic (he’s already been looking into this and had discussions with Polyglots at WCEU). ## Who’s in the Docs Team: [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) reconfirmed the list of current Docs Team Members from July. -HelpHub Development Lead: [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/), [@clorith](https://profiles.wordpress.org/clorith/) -HelpHub Developers: [@felipeelia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/felipeelia/) [@ajitbohra](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ajitbohra/) [@audrasjb](https://profiles.wordpress.org/audrasjb/) [@carl-alberto](https://profiles.wordpress.org/carl-alberto/) [@kafleg](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kafleg/) [@wizzard_](https://profiles.wordpress.org/wizzard_/) [@softservenet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/softservenet/) [@mukesh27](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mukesh27/) [@william68](https://profiles.wordpress.org/william68/)- Content Lead: [@atachibana](https://profiles.wordpress.org/atachibana/) -User Notes( DevHub) Curator: Open -Theme Handbook Lead: Open -Plugin Handbook Lead: Open -More Info (DevHub) Curator: [@juliobox](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juliobox/) -Regular Contributor: [@aurooba](https://profiles.wordpress.org/aurooba/), [@leogermani](https://profiles.wordpress.org/leogermani/)- Design Lead: [@ibdz](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ibdz/), [@estelaris](https://profiles.wordpress.org/estelaris/)* Since then, [@acalfieri](https://profiles.wordpress.org/acalfieri/) has come in as Theme Handbook Lead *Docs Team Handbook Lead will also be [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) and other leads are expected to help in relation to their parts [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) and [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) will work to define details on Doc Team Handbook on Zoom call. [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) suggested that the label “ Lead” may be redefined as it can cause confusion with the Make /WordPress Team Leads. ### Share this: * [ Threads ](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2019/08/09/summary-for-docs-team-meeting-5-august-2019/?share=threads) * [ Mastodon ](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2019/08/09/summary-for-docs-team-meeting-5-august-2019/?share=mastodon) * [ Bluesky ](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2019/08/09/summary-for-docs-team-meeting-5-august-2019/?share=bluesky) * [ X ](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2019/08/09/summary-for-docs-team-meeting-5-august-2019/?share=x) * [ Facebook ](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2019/08/09/summary-for-docs-team-meeting-5-august-2019/?share=facebook) * [ LinkedIn ](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2019/08/09/summary-for-docs-team-meeting-5-august-2019/?share=linkedin) * [Login to Reply](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fdocs%2F2019%2F08%2F09%2Fsummary-for-docs-team-meeting-5-august-2019%2F%23respond&locale=en_US) 1. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/6f505c6be9a951929a99becb6b413dcfa583a5ca3dd0f7320766fee1481f0f82? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 2.
