The team is currently also working on the following: * Documentation for TrelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress. com/marketing team uses for example: [https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing.](https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing) board so all contributors know how to work in it and so that we can all track what’s going on * WordPress.comWordPress.com An online implementation of WordPress code that lets you immediately access a new WordPress environment to publish your content. WordPress. com is a private company owned by Automattic that hosts the largest multisite in the world. This is arguably the best place to start blogging if you have never touched WordPress before. [https://wordpress.com/](https://wordpress.com/) documentation to fill some of our gaps and get a head start on some 5.5 features. **Categorization Project** [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) mentioned about [@swissspidy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/swissspidy/)‘ s contributing to a [XML Sitemap Documentation](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/48072) too.

[**External Linking Policy**](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP4WU5/p1593445148264500) [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) is thinking of parts of the process as: * Proposal made by anyone (for external resource) – perhaps prepare a template * Review by Docs team members – need a list of criteria for this * Public post about proposal, review and reasons for acceptance/rejecting; and * Add resources to the public list of “Allowed resources”. For the ‘list of requirements’ she’s thinking about the following types of resources: * Personal blogs * Tutorial sites (Udemy, Coursera, Skillshare, etc.) * Forums (Stack Overflow, TechRepublic, etc.) * Commercial blog (Not Allowed) You can join the conversation by visiting the [p2 post](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/?p=10204) related to this topic. [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) is considering writing another p2 post on this. **New Member Mentoring Team** [@sukafia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sukafia/) reported that the Mentoring Team is actively reaching out and checking up on new members.

We have received positive feedback from participants so [@sukafia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sukafia/) will create another Doodle for the month of July and share it in the [#docs](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/tag/docs/) channel.  [@chaion07](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chaion07/) will volunteer alongside [@sukafia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sukafia/) to continue writing a monthly summary piece on the coffee break in the form of a p2 post. **Google Season of Docs** All Technical Writers who are interested to participate in the Google Season of Docs for 2020 are requested to comment in this [p2 post](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2020/05/12/season-of-docs-technical-writer-exploration-may-11-june-8/). A lot of the mentors have their designated Google Form or other means of communication to submit their ‘expression of interest’ by the technical writers. Technical Writers are requested to follow the guidelines provided by the Mentors for their specific project idea as mentioned in the [post](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2020/05/12/season-of-docs-technical-writer-exploration-may-11-june-8/).

The names in brackets were meant more like the article, not the categoryCategory The 'category' taxonomy lets you group posts / content together that share a common bond. Categories are pre-defined and broad ranging.. [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) advised that the text in brackets should be of raw categorization and if it can be moved to a separate column and there was no mention of User. [@softservenet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/softservenet/) asked if any decisions were made to use themes on those 3 labels. [@themiked](https://profiles.wordpress.org/themiked/) added saying that he wants to pay better attention at his local WP beginner meetups (whenever that takes place the next time) and see if there are questions asked which would be a good fit here. [@softservenet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/softservenet/) pointed that we had 3 main categories decided from the previous meeting. [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) emphasized moving it to a separate column as it can possibly be a mess after over 10 stories has been written. [@themiked](https://profiles.wordpress.org/themiked/) warned as soon as we start to try and funnel towards predefined categories, those categories will start to define the questions. Categorization should be the last step, if it’s even needed at all. [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) invited everyone to add more user stories and use existing ones as an example. [@estelaris](https://profiles.wordpress.org/estelaris/) further added categorization is needed to improve search but yes, that is the goal for this exercise. She also encouraged everyone to bring a predefined categorization for the next meeting so that we can discuss it. [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) asked [@estelaris](https://profiles.wordpress.org/estelaris/) about the deadline for ‘User Stories’ to which [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) suggested to have 7 days to add as many stories as possible. **Project Updates** [@atachibana](https://profiles.wordpress.org/atachibana/) provided updates on Re- routing of the Codex page to Code Reference for Functions, where 443 out of 1069 that is 41.4% is complete Thanks to [@stevenlinx](https://profiles.wordpress.org/stevenlinx/)( as always). He also mentioned that [@collinsmbaka](https://profiles.wordpress.org/collinsmbaka/) and [@sukafia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sukafia/) had also contributed to the cause. [@estelaris](https://profiles.wordpress.org/estelaris/) reminded everyone to add their respective WordPress Usernames to the working document so that it can be added to the contributors list at the end of the project. [@chaion07](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chaion07/) reported that he had applied for the HelpHub for BN_BD to be added to the site [https://bn.wordpress.org/](https://bn.wordpress.org/) with a support ticket. [@christiano](https://profiles.wordpress.org/christiano/).zanca informed that the Italy HelpHub Team is using the italian Polyglots way of translating: using Google docs and some sorts of per-translation methods. Thus it is taking longer than usual. [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) asked if it would be moved to Rosetta later and if so then it should be alright. This is a huge project and every team should find their own way to be most productive. [@christiano](https://profiles.wordpress.org/christiano/). zanca shared the link of the tool they are using: [ttps://wp-info.org/tools/helphubchanges.php](https://wp-info.org/tools/helphubchanges.php) to which [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) suggested of another one that she had developed which compares locale with original including the last modified dates so you can see if your version is outdated or not. Link: [https://developerka.org/helphub-updates/](https://developerka.org/helphub-updates/) [@themiked](https://profiles.wordpress.org/themiked/) provided updates on 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/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/) or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. handbook that he is 20% through reviewing content and converting from classic blocks into actual blocks. He discussed having 2 items specifically. The first one is the external linking, which is also being discussed in the blog. While visiting the **cpt** section it seemed natural to link to **generatewp**, but we need a decision beforehand. So this is more of a reminder. The second one is that the plugin related content in the codex seems to be much more feature complete, so if it should be rolled into the plugin handbook, or we should be referring to it. Either way, having the same or similar content in two places may seem confusing and wasteful. [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) shared the associated link: [https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2020/03/16/external-linking-in-docs-policy/](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2020/03/16/external-linking-in-docs-policy/) She further added that it is wasteful and a nightmare for maintenance. She further suggested that the next step should be to create the list of exact content and then we can decide if it should be moved to developer handbooks or somewhere else or just leave it as is. [@joyously](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joyously/) questioned on the perspectives of the write up should be either on using a plugin or writing  for a plugin. To which [@themiked](https://profiles.wordpress.org/themiked/) replied with both revolve around writing and suggested a link: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin](https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin) and more generally [https://codex.wordpress.org/](https://codex.wordpress.org/) [@atachibana](https://profiles.wordpress.org/atachibana/) added that our big goal is the retirement of Codex. So the required portion should be moved to the Plugin Handbook or appropriately handbook, developer hub or so. [@themiked](https://profiles.wordpress.org/themiked/) summarized with a suggestion that he’ll get through the existing content and then slurp it in and eventually get through the existing handbook content, then slurp in the Write a Plugin content. **Handbook Revamp** 1. **Facilitating weekly meetings** * [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/)  shared the link of the working document: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o2wZE14KTPSd8iInm5Wu3wPGM9_1HKoyJEn6FMKNiGw/edit?usp=sharing](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o2wZE14KTPSd8iInm5Wu3wPGM9_1HKoyJEn6FMKNiGw/edit?usp=sharing) She further added with the first draft, facilitating the meeting, should be read by new people who haven’t done that yet. If everything is clear then it can be published. So, these two pages are marked to go live for next week. 2. **Reporting an issue workflow** * [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) shared the link to TrelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: [https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing.](https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing) board: [https://trello.com/c/GNXYppYS/44-workflows](https://trello.com/c/GNXYppYS/44-workflows) further added, the second one is not really a draft and requested others to add their items and steps. The idea is to help people report issues for every docs project by following simple step-by-step instructions. * [@softservenet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/softservenet/) shared the idea of creating a card for each discussion issue (with the minimum summary information) and posting it in SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/). The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/), same for new issues. Eventually we’ll work on transferring the information to the actual document. That way, for new issues, we can always direct to the card for required information and we’ll have a better understanding of it hopefully. * [@bph](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bph/) didn’t report any progress. Except discussing with [@jdy68](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jdy68/) about reusable blocks in English pages, that don’t show up for translators. Link: [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP4WU5/p1586119655314100](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP4WU5/p1586119655314100) **Open Floor** * **Google Season of the Docs** [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) reported that he reached out to [@chanthaboune](https://profiles.wordpress.org/chanthaboune/) to talk about the Season of Docs and is currently waiting to hear back. He is assuming to maybe get some updates in the coming week. [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) agreed and also added that we wanted to do it last year as well but now it’s a good time for us to get professional help on writing technical docs. Link: [https://opensource.googleblog.com/2020/03/announcing-season-of-docs-2020.html](https://opensource.googleblog.com/2020/03/announcing-season-of-docs-2020.html) [@softservenet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/softservenet/) inquired on what would our suitable position be in this? [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) shared the idea as a reply that the Docs Team to be working with professional technical writers. We will explain to them what WordPress is and how it works and they will help us write better technical docs. [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) shared the details with the organization terms. Link:  [https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/terms/organization-terms](https://developers.google.com/season-of-docs/terms/organization-terms) * **Categorization** [@estelaris](https://profiles.wordpress.org/estelaris/) was interested to join in the discussion of categorization as she thinks that she has lots of info to provide and we will need help to finish up that part of the project. [@softservenet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/softservenet/) replied, If [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) takes the lead, I’d be willing to accept some type of position in this structure. * **Mentoring Program Proposal** [@sukafia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sukafia/) felt the need to have someone who would focus on helping with the on-boarding of new members. That’s instead of everyone focusing on contributing to docs, helping new members settle in and this role should be recognized as a contribution to the Docs team. Updates should be given for new members and they should be followed up until they find a footing. He further added that it was difficult to settle in and had recently discussed with new members who feel the same way. [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) agreed, that we are aware of it and we have been thinking about that problem for years. One solution could be to have mentoring program as suggested. She further added saying, every team repTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts. should be mentor for their project but we don’t have enough people to mentor and do the work and if we have one mentor for all, it wouldn’t work. She even requested [@sukafia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sukafia/) to write a p2 post about that and we can all discuss it there. [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) suggested that the person doesn’t have to know everything about all projects – just where they can get started and a general high level understanding would be good enough. [@sukafia](https://profiles.wordpress.org/sukafia/) expressed his interest in volunteering for this role if we decide it’s necessary. [@softservenet](https://profiles.wordpress.org/softservenet/) A newer person would be better in tune with the challenges of getting started. Many of us have the history from meetings and the continual process, so they would better understand that challenge * **Handbook** [@estelaris](https://profiles.wordpress.org/estelaris/) asked if there is a page in the handbook that discusses the projects that the team is working on? The design team has a FOCUS page only for that. I assume it’s often updated. Here is the page and yes, it is often updated [https://make.wordpress.org/design/handbook/focuses/](https://make.wordpress.org/design/handbook/focuses/) [@milana_cap](https://profiles.wordpress.org/milana_cap/) said that she’ll add this to ‘the to do list’ for Handbook.
