Open Floor
@bph informed everyone that we need to enable discussion per page since the feedback section that’s now available on HelpHub. Users will be able to leave comments for the Admins and Moderators to be able to view them using wp-admin. Also in the works is a way to revise an article without taking the existing page offline or update unfinished. We will be able to work on revisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision. and then schedule making them public.
@paaljoachim asked if there been any talk about going through the structure of the handbooks and suggested that creating a flow chart of how docs are linked together can help improve on the user experience. @estelaris mentioned that there has been discussion on this in the past and advised everyone that any idea or a proposal on the topic is welcome. Paal will be bringing this topic next week since majority of the team is unavailable for this meeting.
