@mkaz will be the Docs Lead for WP 5.9 with help from @audrasjb and @zzap on coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. docs, and @annezazu for user docs

@femkreations @mburridge offered to help with these docs

Design refresh for Org sites

@mkaz comments the 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. team is working on a design refresh for Org sites starting with /News, see work-in-progress here: https://wordpress.org/news-test/

They are building them as 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. themes, with the idea of other handbooks would be child themes off them.

Licensing Legal Text

 @chaion07 comments a few weeks back we were discussing on Licensing Legal Text with Josepha to assist us (saw this in the #team-reps channel)

@kenshino says the text is expected to be with the lawyers this week because GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ docs are also on WordPress.org, it makes things slightly more complicated

The main issue is that general contents are CC0 and code is GP, but Gutenberg is also dual-licensed – GPLGPL GPL is an acronym for GNU Public License. It is the standard license WordPress uses for Open Source licensing https://wordpress.org/about/license/. The GPL is a ‘copyleft’ license https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html. This means that derivative work can only be distributed under the same license terms. This is in distinction to permissive free software licenses, of which the BSD license and the MIT License are widely used examples. + MIT, so this info has been passed to the lawyers for them to sort out

Project updates

@tacitonic:  The WordPress Documentation Style Guide has been completed. This includes all the remaining articles, the word list, and the usage dictionary.

15 min repo triage:

Issue 1(labeled needs-discussion): Some end-user docs are too technical

@milana_cap: Agrees we shouldn’t have technical details in the end-user docs. But raises the question – where, in DevHub, should that info live?

End-user docs are for people who don’t code and most likely don’t deal with hosting/server issues but rather contact support. We need a place in DevHub that will be dedicated to tasks like .htaccess, internationalization, localization, etc that are shared throughout developing with WordPress. These are neither 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/theme topics nor common APIs but also are not the end-user concerns. 

She suggests we collect all the articles in the support section that are technical. This will help to get a better picture of the dedicated space we will need to create in DevHub.

@basilh  – Suggests hyperlinks to a dedicated space on wordpress.org for topics related to ApacheApache Apache is the most widely used web server software. Developed and maintained by Apache Software Foundation. Apache is an Open Source software available for free. and NginxNGINX NGINX is open source software for web serving, reverse proxying, caching, load balancing, media streaming, and more. It started out as a web server designed for maximum performance and stability. In addition to its HTTP server capabilities, NGINX can also function as a proxy server for email (IMAP, POP3, and SMTP) and a reverse proxy and load balancer for HTTP, TCP, and UDP servers. https://www.nginx.com/., etc. 

@milana_cap: Agrees to move all such info to another location on wordpress.org. And maybe say something like “For more advanced server settings take a check out this link”

ACTION ITEM: Please add your thoughts in the comments for the issue in GitHub.

Issue 2 (labeled good-first-issue): Update links inside the posts-screen DOC

  • @muhammadfaizanhaidar is unable to recreate the issue and will update in the comments for that issue. 
  • @TC to take a look at the issue, if needed.

@atachibana – From the content site, processing as many related issues as possible. 

@femkreations: Added labels to the existing issues in the repo.

Handling issues across all documentation

Discussion on adding a dedicated time for repo triage :

by @milana-cap

The easy and straightforward issues don’t need triage but for issues that need discussion and the team’s decision, we could add a label like “discussion” or “needs discussion”.

Based on the number of issues under that label we can plan the meeting time for triage.

@kenshino: The triage is required so we can build the habit and for people to pick up issues.

DECISION: Dedicate 15 mins to triage issues during the weekly doc meetings. Depending on the number of issues we can make changes to the triage time if needed. Keep this in mind when making meeting agendas.

Discussion on adding labels to issues requesting new document/article:

by @milana-cap

This is related to the PR – issue template that’s requesting a new page/article.

@milana-cap has added labels for 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, and 5.9 for releases.

@kenshino: At some point, we should have documentation tied to specific releases.

DECISION: Add “new document” label to the issues requesting new document/article, for now. @femkreations to update the issue template with the label.

Project Updates

HelpHub Redesign

Update from @estelaris – There are no updates on the HelpHub redesign project yet but estelaris still need help with articles link review. All the articles must be reviewed, most are fine and few are not, and those few are the cause of plenty of fix-link requests. If anyone wants to review, 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. The task is only to identify the wrong links and there is a team in charge of approving and updating the links. @ashiquzzaman showed interest to review the articles

Team Goals for Q1 2021

@themiked reported that 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 goals are done.

@milana_cap suggested that all reps for different projects make sure that their projects are added in the Team Goals for Q1 2021 document. This should become a regular practice to have goals listed in our handbook as it’s easier to keep track with projects and contributors can see the progress.

@estelaris updated her project goals and will have and will have the first post ready for review before publishing.

@crstauf posted their goals as follows:

  • stay on top of pending user notes: check twice per day.
  • optimize process for handling feedback for doc changes.

Project Updates

  • Obsolete P2P2 P2 or O2 is the term people use to refer to the Make WordPress blog. It can be found at https://make.wordpress.org/. Docs: @themiked suggested that obsolete P2 docs will stay in their place, wrapped with something to indicate their absoluteness. To use the red Warning box short-code along with some phrasing that everyone will then want to modify, but it’s easier to edit than create so that’ll move things along faster. 
  • User Notes: @cstauf mentioned that before the weekend there were no pending user notes. There are however 16 entries for feedback to docs changes that @audrasjb has indicated that he will handle.
  • Migrating from Codex to HelpHub: Content team is migrating and re-routing Codex to Code Reference 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.. 296 out of 355 are completed (83.4% from 80.3% from last week). He thanked @stevenlinx like always.
  • BEE-Docs: @bph posted an update asynchronous to the meeting that the team is making headway page updates after 5.6 release Thanks to @cguntur @bizanimesh @geheren @collinsmbaka. She also thanked @incapit, Tom Rankin and @MathewMcCabe for joining the team and collaborating on updates.

New Member Mentoring

7 new members joined #docs in the week between 16 and 23 November 2020. The mentoring team is contacting the new members. The process is a little slow due to the unavailability of many members who are still not back from their holidays and we can definitely understand that. The mentoring team continues to maintain the process and always appreciate the new members who respond to our messages. Thanks to @chaion7 for the information. He also thanked @sukafia, @tacitonic, @Prubhtej_9, @tomf @MathewMcCabe for continuing the good work.

Google Season of Docs

@tacitonic reported on the following:

  • Almost completed the Developer Content section.
  • The only other section remaining is the A-Z word list/Glossary.
  • Encouraged team members to review and discuss articles in the discussion tab on the repo.

@tacitonic mentioned that as the project deadline is approaching, it would be great if we could get the GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

Project Updates
  • 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 by @themiked: Minimal changes, need to ratify the external linking policy document. According to Mike, all previous owners have just made changes as appropriate without asking, and nobody noticed.
  • Design for Documentation by @estelaris: Planning on finishing the design for documentation in the first quarter. Need to gather the final results from the reclassification project, other requirements I picked up from diverse meetings and put together my recommendation for final design. You will see a few discussion posts before the design proposal, aimed between the last week of March- first week of April.
  • BEE-Docs by @bph: Caught up on our articles to make them current with 5.5 and started working on 5.6 updates and create new pages. Started to open up the feedback for more pages. Definitely need instructions, how we would like to handle things. The team is now working via 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., Google Docs. Kudos to all who keep working away on the to-do lists. The ‘Thanksgiving Sprint’ which was a great way to get a lot of things done and connect with contributors, especially new ones. This will definitely be repeated and hopefully can be an ongoing team exercise. Kudos to @geheren for taking up a quite a few pages and work on them.Challenges: We don’t yet have a fluid system on keeping pace with the rapid development of GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ and for adoption of FSE for 2021 the team needs help from the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress.-editor team to at least have a rough draft of documentation coming from the developers, that we can follow and extend for End-User.
  • External Linking Policy by @milana_cap: Finally made some visible progress even though it was rather slow at the beginning
  • Google Season of Docs by @estelaris: One project finished and another is due to finish by Q1 2021 by @tacitonic. He finished the lengthiest section in the style guide – the Formatting section, started writing a spinoff section on Linking and encouraged team members to review and discuss articles in discussion tab on 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/.
Goals for Next Quarter

Milana thinks that The Team can start with some rough ideas where each project should be in March. Not just projects but processes as well. Plugin Handbook should finish the second phase: https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2020/12/01/external-linking-policy-1st-review-of-plugin-developer-handbook/ The main idea here is to think about direction for each project and some sort of measurable progress at the end of each period.

It’s Birgit’s first year on the team, so she’s not sure what’s the ‘usual’ process is. On Community team, there is a post asking for suggestions from the whole community, like the wishlist for the new release and then the team organizes the suggestions and translate them to goal statements, and picks their priorities.

Estela points out the goals for Design: Documentation design proposal – Q1

  • P2P2 P2 or O2 is the term people use to refer to the Make WordPress blog. It can be found at https://make.wordpress.org/. new requests – Week 03
  • P2 new classification – Week 05
  • P2 on final navigation – Week 07
  • P2 on templates draft – Week 10
  • P2 proposal new design for documentation – Week 13
Open Floor

@estelaris feared to collaborate with the #meta team but at the same time is planning to annoy them until they reply. @bph mentioned that #Meta team is working on a Pattern Directory that is exciting for a lot of us.

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. articles and coordinate with the BEE-docs team to figure out how to move forward.

The GSoD team would love to hear from the Docs team on the Do’s and Dont’s including comments related to the Style and Tone section.

Open Floor

@bph informed everyone that we need to enable discussion per page since the feedback section that’s now available on HelpHub. Users will be able to leave comments for the Admins and Moderators to be able to view them using wp-admin. Also in the works is a way to revise an article without taking the existing page offline or update unfinished. We will be able to work on revisionsRevisions The WordPress revisions system stores a record of each saved draft or published update. The revision system allows you to see what changes were made in each revision by dragging a slider (or using the Next/Previous buttons). The display indicates what has changed in each revision. and then schedule making them public.

@paaljoachim asked if there been any talk about going through the structure of the handbooks and suggested that creating a flow chart of how docs are linked together can help improve on the user experience. @estelaris mentioned that there has been discussion on this in the past and advised everyone that any idea or a proposal on the topic is welcome. Paal will be bringing this topic next week since majority of the team is unavailable for this meeting.

Monthly coffee break (November 2020)

@estelaris will run the next monthly coffee break which will be on the Thursday 19 November 2020. The time for the coffee break should be Asia friendly and will be specified later on.

Google Season of Docs 2020

@tacitonic is currently working on the Punctuation section and updates the progress in the README file on the daily bases.

@dmivelli has finished reviewing the discoverability project and submitted a long list of typos and grammar errors that @estelaris will be fixing this week. There are also many titles that must be changed.

Docs Handbook and facilitating collaboration

@leogermani and @themiked rewrote a couple of pages but there is still more work to be done. As an example @leogermani pointed out the Projects page that could reflect more precisely what’s going on in their team. They also worked on the Workflow page. @leogermani suggests an idea to add a “report an issue” button to the pages to make it easier for people who want to collaborate to find their way.

@estelaris confirmed that this kind of button will be part of the new design of the articles template.

@themiked will add a link to the Reporting an issue page to the bottom of every plugin handbook page.

Deprecated Links

@themiked wrote down a document regarding the deprecated links and is asking for some feedback.

Project updates

@atachibana gave an update of the migrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another. Most typically done when changing hosting companies. and re-routing of Codex to Code Reference:

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.: 153 of 355 (43.1% < – 33.8%). They’re also editing each method information of class references.

@bph mentionned prior to the meeting they’ll post asynchronously a digital check-in for the documentation team.

@justinahinon posted a follow up of GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ developer documentation restructuring proposal.

Google Season of Docs 2020

@tacitonic made some updates about the progress on this project:

On the reclassification front, the team is still reviewing articles for content errors but have already finalized the title change. More details are in this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_Ea2yeF5Rfy_YDk7pBRJ4rdljhMjygXFqBq8gWwhbaE/edit?usp=sharing.

The team also discussed the big problems with titles which is the use of gerunds (words ending in ‘ing, as in working, reading, etc). This discussion can be found here.

Docs Handbook and facilitating collaboration

@themiked shared last week some updates on legacy docs which @kenshino is reviewing.

@paaljoachim asked if there have been any talks about refreshing the design. As using bigger fonts gives more space and better readability.
