HelpHub Bug Scrub Notes, 26 April 2019

HelpHub bug scrub is back. For the time being we’re planning to hold these once a month. If there’s a need, we’ll reconsider this decision. All the meetings will be happening in #meta-helphub channel.

At this point, HelpHub has two places for issues: Trac and Github. Our aim is to move all Phase 1.5 issues from GithubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ to TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. as these issues are really just fixes for what is already live at wordpress.org/support. Phase 2 is planned to be worked on at Github for now.

Responsibility for Trac issues is very unclear and should be discussed between docs and 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. teams. We don’t want to step on each other’s toes so it would be beneficial for both teams to make it clear who’s responsible for responses and decisions regarding reported issues.

At this bug scrub meeting we were discussing only Phase 1.5 issues.

Content

Content has only one issue on Github. @atachibana said he’ll comment on it and close it.

Another content related issue is opened on track https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4195. It is highly recommended that content reps of documentation team get involved in discussion.

Design

We need decisions for 3 design related issues on Github. Also, we should see if @iviolini is still available for the project.

Development

Good first issues

During bug scrub we detected several issues that can be labeled as “good first issue”. They require either simple fix or just copying code from Github PR.

  1. https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4267 – need switching h2 for h1 as explained here
  2. https://github.com/WordPress/HelpHub/issues/239 – has code in PR
  3. https://github.com/WordPress/HelpHub/issues/232 – has code in PR
  4. https://github.com/WordPress/HelpHub/issues/230 – has code in PR
  5. https://github.com/WordPress/HelpHub/issues/229 – has code in PR

Need discussion

1. https://github.com/WordPress/HelpHub/issues/237

We have to decide which is appropriate for HelpHub

  • To keep the order of TOC as like as (paper) book, or
  • To show the latest article as like as Search results

2. https://github.com/WordPress/HelpHub/issues/231

We need to properly redirect this URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org https://wordpress.org/support/category/. It’s not directly accessible from anywhere but it is possible to arrive from, let’s say, here https://wordpress.org/support/category/advanced-topics/ by editing URL.

Ready for coding

  • https://github.com/WordPress/HelpHub/pull/261 – has PR but the code is violating WPCSWPCS The collection of PHP_CodeSniffer rules (sniffs) used to format and validate PHP code developed for WordPress according to the WordPress Coding Standards. May also be an acronym referring to the Accessibility, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, etc. coding standards as published in the WordPress Coding Standards Handbook.
  • https://github.com/WordPress/HelpHub/issues/214 – it’s been suggested that we should omit children from TOC but at the meeting we agreed that we want children – ignore the code in PR
  • https://github.com/WordPress/HelpHub/issues/111 – we don’t use Handbook pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party so we can’t replicate the toggles. We should, however, try to style everything else.

We all agreed that reading time is not helpful and even misleading for HelpHub, so that should be removed before merging.

It has been reported that some issues are old and not providing clear tasks. It’s been quiet last few weeks so we might address these issues on next scrubs (today). It would be good to mark them and either clarify or close them. This meeting will happen today, Thursday, September 21, 2017, 17:00 UTC in #docs channel. You all are invited.

Summary for HelpHub Bug Scrub 31 August 2017

There were no closed issues or pull requests since our last bug scrubs. However, we had a good discussion about home page template and search functionality. These are going to be the main focus in following period. We are hoping to have intuitive search and helpful home page in order to prevent asking the same questions in forums.

Home Page Template

Home page template discussion is happening here. Please feel free to join, everyone’s opinion is welcomed.

Search Epic

Initial plans included Elastic Search for search functionality. This is something we want to apply with addition to possible usage of WP REST APIREST API The REST API is an acronym for the RESTful Application Program Interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data. It is how the front end of an application (think “phone app” or “website”) can communicate with the data store (think “database” or “file system”) https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/. for refining search results via filters. Again, feel free to join discussion, share experiences and ideas, or even code. Any help is welcomed.

Issues/PRs under Search epic: #8, #9, #47 and #37.

Next

Now that development tools are synced with the rest of make teams (thanks to @netweb), we can move on with design and functionality. It is noted that we should have clear(er) direction and goals, and bug scrubs should guide towards these goals.

That being said, next main focus should be search functionality and home page template.

Home Page Template

We already have some great ideas for home page and design proposal by @mapk.

Search Epic

We want HelpHub to have powerful search functionality and template. This is one of first places end user will come for information and all information should be easy accessed and found. Issues/PRs under Search epic: #8, #9, #47 and #37.

Next bug scrub will happen today, Thursday, August 31, 2017, 17:00 UTC in #docs channel and you all are invited. We can discuss all the issues but keep in mind the focus on home page template and Search.
