Meeting Notes The idea of posting an Agenda post prior to the meetings was recommended and folks present seemed to support the idea. Reasons given included: * Helpful for letting folks who can’t attend bring things up async. * Developing habits to better documentation is beneficial for future folks when more things are going on.. [@mikeschroder](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mikeschroder/) is going to chat with [@jadonn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jadonn/) about this. [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/) suggested having statistics in the meetings would help growing the team. Polyglots teamPolyglots Team Polyglots Team is a group of multilingual translators who work on translating plugins, themes, documentation, and front-facing marketing copy. [https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/](https://make.wordpress.org/polyglots/teams/) does this ([Slack link](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP50LK/p1556085718141500)). ![](https://i1.wp.com/make.wordpress.org/hosting/files/2019/04/%E3%82%B9%E3%82%AF% E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%83%E3%83%88-2019-04-30-0.44.23. png?fit=776%2C454&ssl=1) [Polyglots sharing statistics on meetings](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP50LK/p1556085718141500) We need to figure out what sorts of metrics would be interesting to know. These ideas were given: * [@kenshino](https://profiles.wordpress.org/kenshino/): How many hosts are working with the team * [@javiercasares](https://profiles.wordpress.org/javiercasares/): PHPPHP PHP ( PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a general-purpose scripting language especially suited to web development. PHP code is usually processed on a web server by a PHP interpreter. On a web server, the result of the interpreted and executed PHP code would form the whole or part of an HTTP response. versions, DatabaseDatabase A database is an organized collection of data. Access to this data is usually provided by a "database management system" (DBMS) consisting of an integrated set of computer software that allows users to interact with one or more databases and provides access to all of the data contained in the database. Because of the close relationship between them, the term "database" is often used casually to refer to both a database and the DBMS used to manipulate it. versions, and some of the statistics at wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. [https://wordpress.org/](https://wordpress.org/) site * [@mikeschroder](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mikeschroder/): WP.org knows how the PHP version numbers shift between hosts. We haven’t mentioned them to avoid shaming hosts. It would be great to use these to incentivize upgrades. details on hosts that have had success/a large amount of upgrades to new versions? [@shinichin](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shinichin/) noted that there’s a difference in how hosting providers are involved among countries. Some feel that they are part of the community and others don’t see that way. We didn’t have the time to discuss: * WordPress 5.2 * Idle Hosting Test Runners [@shinichin](https://profiles.wordpress.org/shinichin/) raised a topic for the next meeting: “PHP version update workshop at WordCamps” [@mikeschroder](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mikeschroder/) mentioned two things related to 5.2: 1. [@clorith](https://profiles.wordpress.org/clorith/) posted this Site HealthSite Health This WordPress functionality will perform a number of checks on your installation to detect common configuration errors and known issues, and also allows plugins and themes to add their own checks. dev note to the chat late last week (thank you!!): [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/04/25/site-health-check-in-5-2/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/2019/04/25/site-health-check-in-5-2/) 2. 5.2 got pushed back by a week, and is now being released on the 7th: [https://make.wordpress.org/core/5-2/](https://make.wordpress.org/core/5-2/) ## Feedback If you missed this week’s meeting and have questions or feedback, leave a comment on this post and share your thoughts!
