@webcommsat raised from experience of the last couple of releases and involvement in CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress., Marketing, Docs, and Training, a resource to help meetups devote a session to helping with User docs would be very useful and raise awareness about docs. More on this suggestion, what has been started in 6.4, and the fuller discussion in SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/.. (link to Slack discussion added)

@611shabnam shared the progress of #678 and explained that she is working on the issue left.

@noumantech was so busy with projects he couldn’t focus on the #1100. He is committed to completing it in a couple of weeks. @pekkakortelainen shared the progress of #430 and provided details of the size of the revamp. It would take time to finish it. He also showed interest in addressing one of the notes from Sep 19th meeting: about onboarding new contributors.

The Contributors Day can bring some new contributors to the channel 

@webcommsa shared an update on the docs release for 6.4. She explained that avoid adding the Google folder to the public minutes, as two of the cohorts can not access Google Drive to update the documents in there so we have temporarily had to enable it to link access for editing until their access to Google Drive can be solved. She also referred to the statement of @cbringmann” Dev Chat recently, you do not have to be on the squad or in the cohort to get involved in an aspect of the release.”

@estelaris will be leading the docs team at Yoast Contributor Day tomorrow. Will focus on good first issues and the 6.3 task board. @anandau14 showed interest in the contribution to the docs release for 6.4. @webcommsa advised @anandau14 to participate in Yoast Contributor Day with @estelaris
