Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same.: 153 of 355 (43.1% < – 33.8%). They’re also editing each method information of class references.

@bph mentionned prior to the meeting they’ll post asynchronously a digital check-in for the documentation team.

Google Season of Docs 2020

@tacitonic made some updates about the progress on this project:

On the reclassification front, the team is still reviewing articles for content errors but have already finalized the title change. More details are in this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_Ea2yeF5Rfy_YDk7pBRJ4rdljhMjygXFqBq8gWwhbaE/edit?usp=sharing.

The team also discussed the big problems with titles which is the use of gerunds (words ending in ‘ing, as in working, reading, etc). This discussion can be found here.

@themiked shared last week some updates on legacy docs which @kenshino is reviewing.

@paaljoachim asked if there have been any talks about refreshing the design. As using bigger fonts gives more space and better readability.
