Project Checks

@milana_cap added contributing docs and Serbian language to the new HelpHub repo. She has also started working on #1102 and started retiring old articles that are moved to the Advanced Administration Handbook. @milana_cap created a new project board for inventory of end user docs and collected all HelpHub articles and categories via 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/.

@sagargurnani completed the #935, self-assigned #203, and asked @milana_cap about the status of #935.

@611shabnam is still working on #678 and her progress is slow due to deadlines in the current month.

@leonnugraha shared the progress of US Contributors Day. He completed and closed #694, #973, #947, #936, #937, #941, and #975.

@jyolsna completed #974 by updating the screenshots.

@marcio-zebedeu is working on #978 and needs more time to complete it.

@cold-iron-chef is behind on one issue and will complete it by next week.

@estelaris shared his plans to start work on Future plans for HelpHub, the documentation team handbook, and finish the WP End-user docs inventory. @milana_cap and @estelaris discussed the schedule to collaborate on various days on these tasks.

Open Floor

@estelaris shared the Figma design for the proposed design of HH’s landing page and asked the Docs Team to have a discussion for approval. Matt is not happy with the design and needs improvement in fonts and spacing. @milana_cap raised a concern about the wasting of space in the categories section of the landing page design.

@leonnugraha shared screenshots from the Figma design and suggested an increase in the font size of headings. @estelaris mentioned that the current heading font size in the template should be suitable for all languages. @cold-iron-chef supported the point of general rules for different languages by sharing her experience with French/English Websites.

@estelaris asked everyone to leave comments on the Figma File and told team members to Click on the :speech_balloon: icon if anyone has a problem leaving comments.

@estelaris shared another proposal for the translation and localization of docs for review. The design is not final and it will be published on the next day after the meeting.

The team decided to continue with a 3-hour long Contributor Day and that the fifth Tuesday in May will be a triage meeting, following the week after our next Contributor Day.

Monthly Docs Team online contributor days

In the last bi-weekly Docs Team meeting, @ninianepress proposed a quarterly and independently-led docs team contributor day, much like the first ever one that was held in 2022, which was @milana_cap‘s idea.

@milana_cap suggested a monthly day, which was decided upon.

In the meeting mentioned above, the docs team discussed a new structure for weekly meetings that would include the monthly contributor day.

  • Two options for including the mobile app documentation include:
    • Create one categoryCategory The 'category' taxonomy lets you group posts / content together that share a common bond. Categories are pre-defined and broad ranging. mobile app and all the topics as subcategory
    • Add each article inside the categories/subcategories we have now
  • The first option to create a new category was the final team decision.

Review of the design for documentation 

The design team has reviewed the design. We are waiting on Josepha’s approval. The mobile version is not ready yet as there are a few items to be resolved. 

  • We now have 4 categories for the content and a submenu with the 4 categories, displayed at the top so users can easily navigate. 
  • The breadcrumbs are included as part of the left navigation (the blue square on the top left). The first 3 lines are the breadcrumbs, followed by the headings in the article. We also have another option (on the 3rd article example) where the breadcrumbs are horizontal, at the top of the TOC blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience..

Please add your comments here or in the slack channel.

Discussion 1: @femkreations: How are we handling the Changelog section since some of the Changelog entries are long?

@milana_cap: suggests not to delete the Changelog as it’s a history of the WP docs.
@bph: The Changelog is also used for translation and some locales might be behind on the pages.
@ibdz: We can have 2 different font sizes- one for the parent <li> (date) and one for secondary level <li> (content) to keep it aesthetically pleasing.

It was decided to add pagination to the Changelog. It is accessible and we can limit the number of entries per page, keeping the newest entries on page one and the oldest on page 2.

Discussion 2: @milana_cap: Would the definition list be semantic markup for the Changelog?

 @mburridge suggests the details disclosure element

Discussion 3: @estelaris: What about the FAQs that are on some of the block articles? Are we going to keep them there or can we extract them and create a new FAQs section under resources?

@milana_cap: Thinks all FAQs should be in FAQs and articles that currently have them could link to them.
@atachibana: Suggests keeping it as is, to reduce the cost, and also create independent pages of the FAQ.
@ibdz: Thinks from the user’s point of view, it’s good to have the FAQ attached to the page.

Project updates

@milana_cap:

  • Closed a few more 5.9 block editor end-user issues.
  • All tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. tickets are labeled for docs and GitHub project is ready.

@femkreations:

  • Triaging the Google Doc and creating the Tracker issues for 6.0 end-user documentation.
  • So far, 40 trackers have been added for 6.0 End User Documentation.
  • Will complete the triage by the end of the week.

@estelaris:

All the block editor articles listed in the inventory have been added to the new sitemap.

Open floor

@estelaris and @femkreations to review the following two pages: Block Editor and WordPress Editor to make sure they are not repetitive and if so, merge and delete one. @atachibana: Suggests renaming WordPress Editor to Classic Editor and keeping with TinyMCE.

Docs Team Coffee Break November Update!

Hello Folks,

As we inch closer to a second wave of COVID, it has become more important than ever to stand next to our fellow contributors. The idea of having a monthly informal discussion in the form of a ‘Virtual Coffee Break’ experience is something we are finding rather helpful while trying to maintain proper social distancing. Even though we would hope for majority of our fellow contributors to join in and support the same concept it may not always be the case. Understanding this, the team came up with the idea of rotation in the timing to serve multiple time zones. Additionally, we expect to write a dedicated p2 post with the information covering the Docs Team Coffee Break.

October Coffee Break Summary

Coffee Break began with a smile!

The October Coffee Break took place on the 29th instant with a EU-friendly timing which saw the presence of 7 contributors from the Global Documentation Team. Kudos to @sukafia for facilitating it. @chaion07 @crs1138, @tacitonic & @thisisyeasin were among the ones who joined in.

November Coffee Break Reminder

The next Coffee Break for Docs Team is scheduled for 19 November, Thursday at 10 AM UTC. @estelaris will be facilitating this month’s Coffee Break. The details for joining the Zoom call are as follows:

The details will also be posted in #docs channel on the day. If you wish to get a calendar invite then please pingPing The act of sending a very small amount of data to an end point. Ping is used in computer science to illicit a response from a target server to test it’s connection. Ping is also a term used by Slack users to @ someone or send them a direct message (DM). Users might say something along the lines of “Ping me when the meeting starts.” @estelaris, @sukafia or @chaion07.

Project Updates

@atachibana: We are migrating and re-routing Codex to Code Reference, and processed:
HooksHooks In WordPress theme and development, hooks are functions that can be applied to an action or a Filter in WordPress. Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same.: 62 of 355 (17.5% < – 14.4%) by @stevenlinx and @collinsmbaka .
He also did some housekeeping of Classes references.

External Linking Policy

Update from @themiked, here are the points that will need to be addressed regarding external linking policy

  • list all the 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 handbook external links
  • define safe 5-10 links
  • remove the rest
Docs videos

@tacitonic has shared the following update;

Update from @dianamivelli;

  • I noted more recommendations for Help Hub topics to reflect new topic title format (action+object)
  • Reached out to @tacitonic on #docs team to find out the correct Help Hub topic title capitalization style (sentence case vs. title case) @tacitonic, thanks for the speedy response :blush:
  • Contacted @estelaris and @timohaver to verify next steps are inline with project plan.
  • Added weekly status section to 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/ repository to keep notes on weekly progress.
  • Added our project master doc to GitGit Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. Most modern plugin and theme development is being done with this version control system. https://git-scm.com/.

@estelaris suggested that Possessive should be WordPress’. All words ending in s will only have an ‘ at the end. @tacitonic and @dianamivelli agreed to it.
