Update on docs

  • we are making headway in updating pages to 5.5
  • had a short 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. training todoy in our meeting, and answered a few questions
  • Haven’t consolidated all spreadsheets yet, will do so this week
  • Tried to get PRs from the GutenbergGutenberg 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/ 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 be the repository owner. https://github.com/ repository labeled “UserDocumentation” into the #meta-helphub channel so we can be aware and add them to our trello cards

@justinahinon: Posted the proposal on the team p2 last week for a new better structured Gutenberg developer documentation.

Google Season of Docs 2020

Two people got selected @tacitonic and @diana Mivelli. Two mentors will get allocated at the following projects

  • Improve Article Discoverability in WordPress HelpHub Documentation
  • A Full and Renewed Set of Documentation Style Guide

@timohaver and @diana Mivelli will work on Article Discoverability. @estelaris thinks that both the projects will get merged at some point. As a style guide @estelaris will contribute to article discoverability, so we should be able to all work together in both projects

Open Floor

@tomf raised a query regarding WordCamps are not funding any kind of multi-day events (even digital ones) and no longer funding any swag too.

@wpza proposed to remove the WordPress branding + using your own Dashboard styles. Which is when you go to Users > Edit (single user) > Select a theme, a chance for WP devs to upload their own theme for toolbar colours, branding, etc.
