The main focus for the camp was working on “Navigating Trac guide for new people core.trac.wordpress.org.”
@mcdwayne and @Kitty took on the task of turning @flixos90’s presentation of beginning use of Trac into a Google Doc.
Meanwhile @angela attended the ‘getting started as a coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. contributor’ session and took notes of the general overview she received for Trac.
@Kitty worked out an outline for a new user guide, including minimum criteria for the intended guide user, which was discussed in depth by the rest of the team over lunch resulting in this document.
After debating the merits and disadvantages of a single doc for both outline and draft vs using a second dedicated doc for the drafting of the guide itself, only to find ourselves equally divided on preferred approach. We flipped a coin and went with the 2 document approach.
It was a very good day.
