Project Checks

@milana_cap created issues for 6.8, is reviewing 6.8 issues and she is also scheduling updates for articles which should be published soon. She also published an article – “What’s new for developers?“.

@atachibana is reviewing and working on issues associated to the older WP versions like 6.3.

@nikunj8866 contributed to the #1894 issue.

Open Floor

@estelaris is getting ready for 6.8 release. She also mentions that during a release, the docs team updates 2 pages in HelpHub.

  1. WP Versions
  2. And the version page itself, see 6.7 as an example

Then these 2 other pages are also updated. we need permission to access them because the updates are manually done then they have to be pushed via WordPress sandbox (WP.org‘s backend).

  1. Roadmap
  2. History

She would be adding the above process to the handbook soon.

@flexseth asked whether it is still the best practice to install the the repo locally, then create a PR for submitting changes to the developer.wordpress.org? What’s the best way to submit simple fixes and also contribute code samples?

To which @milana_cap replied that if he wants to contribute to the installation itself, that’s #meta and he needs to install it locally. But, if he wants to contribute code samples, he just needs to submit the user notes to reference and someone will review and publish it from #core.
