Documenting WordPress 7.0 release
With the smaller release squad, the Docs team has two representatives volunteered to work on updating end-user docs for 7.0, @sajib1223 and @milana_cap. The team will follow instructions drafted by @estelaris, while working on this new workflow together with @annezazu on 6.9 release. In this scenario, @milana_cap will act as a mentor due to her experience with working on release docs in previous releases. As the others expressed the interest, this will be done publicly (in the #docs channel), starting from next week.
A very helpful resource is provided by @annezazu in the comment on the planning post for 7.0.

- Provide clear, step-by-step entry points for new and existing contributors.
- Eventually be linked from the main contribution index (final location still to be decided).
- Support a growing pool of 200+ student contributors looking for ways to contribute, with more students coming.
