Collaborations between docs and hosting team

@javiercasares: last week Milana was on the #hosting-community channel explaining this new project / handbook / documentation about separating some of the most technical documentation from the Hubs.

There is a new label in the Issue Tracker ‘advanced administration’.

Initial check of the tickets, first idea on categorization can be found in this Google doc. This is a first “structure” with all the links and everything I found on those tickets. As this is a first idea, it will probably change a lot.

Thanks to @JavierCasares for structuring the new handbook.

First pull request for the Advanced Administration Handbook

#1 Create a first possible File Structure – a first level possible structure, with the “big categories”. This may change as we start creating and updating content, but this is a place to start.

Second pull request (technical one, for the #meta team)

#2 First Manifest file – a first manifest file, created manually because we will need to have the WP-CLIWP-CLI WP-CLI is the Command Line Interface for WordPress, used to do administrative and development tasks in a programmatic way. The project page is http://wp-cli.org/ https://make.wordpress.org/cli/ software configured… but we will have that when 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. creates it.

Those files will help us start creating new content and migrating the actual one. Then sync everything with the site automatically (so every time we do a merge, the content will be updated). These are first ideas, help and suggestions welcome.

@lcup sent an update to the meeting:
– added articles to move from HelpHub to DevHub docs for the new advanced administration handbook in: Documentation Issue Tracker, ticket 388 in GitHub. Thanks to @estelaris and @femkreationsfor doing all of the look-up work on this.

@milana_cap shared context: parts of “too technical” docs from HelpHub will end up in this new handbook.
