@milana_cap reviewed the issues completed by @karthickmurugan and she also has a list of duplicate issues to sort out.

@karthickmurugan had completed many issues which can be seen by here.

Open Floor

@milana_cap raised a concern that the majority of the team at the moment is from Asia. She believes 14:00 UTC is not the best time for the team to attend the meeting because it becomes very late for the team members living in APAC timezones. So, she would propose a poll for new meeting time that will include earlier hours on Tuesdays. The poll would be held today i.e. 02-Apr-2025 and would be initiated by herself.

@sagargurnani discussed how to attract more contributors to be the part of the #docs team and to work on the  #docs. To which @milana_cap said that it needs pushing and announcing it regularly on social media and every single WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. maybe we can work on docs per project, and treat every project as “job posting” create a call, share it everywhere record videos how we do stuff, so that people can be onboarded more easily maybe we need new onboarding stuff.

@estelaris mentioned Matt’s plan for one major releaseMajor Release A set of releases or versions having the same major version number may be collectively referred to as “X.Y” -- for example version 5.2.x to refer to versions 5.2, 5.2.1, and all other versions in the 5.2. (five dot two dot) branch of that software. Major Releases often are the introduction of new major features and functionality. per year and this will give us opportunity to catch up with all issues and documentation and there’s a need for a plan for that.

P.S. – Please drop your comments with your ideas for attracting more new contributors to the #docs team.

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.
