Project Updates

HelpHub content team has started the new repository and it is working well.

New repository to hande issues across all documentation

@kenshino:
New official repository for documentation issues created: https://github.com/WordPress/Documentation-Issue-Tracker. New Issues have already been reported in the new repo: https://github.com/WordPress/Documentation-Issue-Tracker/issues

Management of the repo:

@kenshino who is preparing README.md:

Focusing on how one would use the repo so that
1. Issues are picked up
2. There’s no overlap / repeated work
e.g. I’ll be putting in guidelines such as
– If you are working on an issue, assign it to yourself
– If you don’t have permissions to assign, please let us know you’d like to pick this issue up and we’ll do the assignments

Issue Templates

@femkreations who is making on updates of issue template:

https://github.com/WordPress/Documentation-Issue-Tracker/pull/12

@kenshino :
we can make 2 issue templates. One for current doc fixes, one for doc requests.
Let’s start with one of the following

  • Doc Fix / New Doc
    OR
  • User Doc / Dev Doc

@joyously :
Can there be an initial input of a URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org, and that is used to choose the correct template?

@kenshino :
It’s a button. It will look like this.

@basilh :
Most of these have not used the template. Will these be discarded and required to use the new templates)?

@atachibana:
My failure. I copied opened issues from other repository. We should follow the template and I will do.

Labels

@femkreations:
Do we need to manually assign labels to the existing ones?

@kenshino:
Yes please manually assign for now

Open Floor

@kenshino :
We can probably use one of the meetings to do some triage
