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.

Upcoming Meetings

Project Checks

@atachibana has been working on the issues related to WP6.3 and likes to close them ASAP.

@karthickmurugan has completed 26 tickets, in which 3 of the issues moved to 2nd review and others pending for review.

@joelbarbara had discussed with @estelaris working on tickets related to release 6.2. So, he had worked on his first issue and wanted someone to review it.

@benazeer had worked on WP6.7 issue related to “post excerptExcerpt An excerpt is the description of the blog post or page that will by default show on the blog archive page, in search results (SERPs), and on social media. With an SEO plugin, the excerpt may also be in that plugin’s metabox.”, “site tagline” and “verse blocks” and now she is waiting for the review.

@dhavalkapadane he had added screenshots, videos, and steps to #1767 and wanted someone to review it.

Open Floor

@estelaris mentions that because 6.8 is a release with no new features. The docs team should focus on catching up with previous releases and work on anything that’s outstanding.

@ninianepress thinks the idea of trying some A/B testing and changing the name of the Triage meetings is a great initiative. She also thinks that trying something without data isn’t as helpful as it would be to ask people why they don’t attend and/or contribute to those meetings. May be the team could make a quick Google form with different options and a space to add our answers. That way, we have some more insight to make informed plans for further testing.

@ninianepress is also planning on facilitating a Contributor Day this month so she’ll keep everyone posted on that.
