# 󠀁[Recap of WordCamp.org Ticket Scrub for the week of July 31st](https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2017/08/02/recap-of-wordcamp-org-ticket-scrub-for-the-week-of-july-31st/)󠁿

Great attendance for our first-ever WordCamp.org ticket scrub!

The next WordCamp.org Ticket Scrub meeting will be in two weeks, [2017-08-15 19:00 UTC](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20170815T1900),
in [#meta-wordcamp](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/meta-wordcamp).

Here is a summary of this week’s discussion:

[#2907-meta](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2907)

This patch makes some significant changes to the Instagram source in the Tagregator
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.

or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. to accommodate changes to the Instagram
APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that
allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined
ways.. The current patch submitted by [@xkon](https://profiles.wordpress.org/xkon/)
uses raw cURL commands, which is not ideal for compatibility. The suggested change
was to try using `wp_remote_get` or `wp_remote_post` instead. [@ryelle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ryelle/)
volunteered to help test this and other Tagregator patches. ([#2100-meta](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2100),
[#3003-meta](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3003))

[#2934-meta](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2934)

This ticket has a patch from [@rmarks](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rmarks/) that
partially addresses the issue. [@coreymckrill](https://profiles.wordpress.org/coreymckrill/)
said he would try to get that patch committed, and suggested fixes for other parts
of the issue should go in a separate patch.

[#859-meta](https://make.wordpress.org/meta/tag/859-meta/)

We discussed the patch for this ticket recently submitted by @grappleulrich. One
aspect of the patch was to prevent users from publishing posts while Coming Soon
mode is enabled, so that site subscribers wouldn’t get an email notification of 
a new post that might be incomplete and that they wouldn’t actually be able to access.
As a group, we agreed that disabling the Publish button would actually be confusing
and that there are times when you might want to publish a post while still in Coming
Soon mode. Instead, we decided to change the approach so that email notifications
are disabled in Coming Soon mode, and there is a warning near the Publish button
to notify users that their post won’t be emailed to subscribers if they publish 
while still in Coming Soon mode.

[#574-meta](https://make.wordpress.org/meta/tag/574-meta/)

This is an old ticket with an old patch. We agreed that the feature described would
still be useful, but the patch probably needs to be updated before it will be compatible
with the current version of CampTix. [@coreymckrill](https://profiles.wordpress.org/coreymckrill/)
said he would move the ticket over to the CampTix 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 by the repository owner. [https://github.com/](https://github.com/)

in the comments on this post. In case there’s a need for further discussion we will
ensure to make time for it in the next meeting. See you next time!

that don’t get much attention. Some of them even have patches ready to go. The problem
is that each ticket requires discussion and testing before it can be resolved, and
we don’t currently have the bandwidth to keep up with it all.

Here’s what I think an ideal ticket workflow looks like:

 1. Ticket is opened
 2. Ticket issue is confirmed and the ticket is accepted
 3. Patch(es) added to the ticket
 4. Patch code is reviewed
 5. Patch is tested against issue’s reproduction steps
 6. Patch is confirmed and committed
 7. Ticket is closed

When multiple people collaborate on tickets, getting through these steps is much
faster. I’d like to propose that we try having scheduled meetings in the **meta-
wordcamp** 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/)

to make progress on several tickets each time.

I’d like to try doing them every two weeks. My preference would be *every other 
Tuesday at* 17:00 UTC, but I’m open to other time slots if they can accommodate 
more people.

Leave a comment here if you’re interested in participating, and whether that time
and date would work for you.

to get things started.

The Community Summit is going to be hosted in Paris just a few days before WordCampWordCamp

We are at the stage now where all contribution teams are being asked to finalize
their topics for the Summit. The deadline for final topics is 9 June 2017.

The currently proposed topics for all teams are listed [here](https://make.wordpress.org/summit/2017/03/26/list-of-topics-proposed-by-teams/),
and these are the ones for the Meta Team:

>  * Translation of documentation on 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/),
>    including developer hub and (the future) help hub – (Polyglots, Docs, Support)
>  * Participate in other team’s discussions to see how the Meta team can help them

**Are there any additional topics that you feel are important for us to discuss 
at the Summit?**

While answering that question, please bear the following from [the Summit announcement post](https://make.wordpress.org/summit/2017/03/26/wordpress-community-summit-2017-announcement/)
in mind:

> The main purpose of the summit is to move the project forward before and after
> the event, with the event being a milestone in a larger set of work.
> With this main goal in mind, we’ll touch base with all team reps to figure out
> which of the topics proposed can be handled beforehand, and come up with topics
> that would be:
> 1) of importance to the project as a whole
>  2) would benefit from cross-team collaboration
> 3) will leave us in a better position than when we started

# 󠀁[Announcing the new WordPress Plugin Directory](https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2017/03/30/announcing-the-new-wordpress-plugin-directory/)󠁿

The MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us,

PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that

or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. Directory!

First announced as an Open BetaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out 
to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone
through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and 
function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the
process. at [WordCamp Europe 2016](https://wordpress.tv/2016/06/30/konstantin-obenland-the-2016-plugin-directory/),
this latest evolution features a range of improvements, both internal and tangible:

 * A new back-end based on WordPress, to replace the old bbPressbbPress Free, open
   source software built on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites.
   [https://bbpress.org](https://bbpress.org) engine.
 * Refactored APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary
   that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly
   defined ways. code, also open sourceOpen Source Open Source denotes software 
   for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed
   and modified. Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL..
 * A complete visual redesign and [open-source theme](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/themes/pub/wporg-plugins).
 * A completely [open-source codebase](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/browser/sites/trunk/wordpress.org/public_html/wp-content/plugins/plugin-directory/).
 * A vastly improved search engine.

Developers and testers running early versions of WordPress 4.8 have already been
using the new API for a while now, and many in the [#meta](https://make.wordpress.org/meta/tag/meta/)
community have been testing and contributing to the new directory’s development.

For those of you seeing the new directory for the first time, here are some of its
features in detail that will interest both plugin developers and users:

**The search engine** has been totally replaced. Searches now return the most relevant
results based on a combination of many factors including version compatibility, 
recency, and popularity, in conjunction with text relevancy. This means that obsolete
and unsupported plugins – while still available – are less prominent in search results
than those in active development and use.

[[

Search results in the old directory, left, and the new directory, right.

**The most important information about each plugin** is shown up front, rather than
on separate tabs. The description, screenshots, and FAQs are all visible together,
with a simple scroll, without flipping to a separate tab. Important metadata like
versions and ratings are shown in a sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred
to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not
a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can
be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any
where in the theme., much like before, but we’ve simplified the page with a 2-column
layout, removing extraneous navigation from the old 3rd column.

[[

Plugin details in the old directory, left, and the new page, right.

**We have also revised accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened
to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for
people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct 
access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s
assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.
org/wiki/Accessibility)** across the new design, with improved text sizes and contrast,
and better markup for screen readers. The new design is responsive and works well
on mobile and desktop devices with a wide range of sizes.

Behind the scenes, the entire back end of the web site and API has been replaced
with an open source WordPress plugin. The old directory was built on bbPress with
a collection of ageing, closed-source plugins. It was antiquated and difficult to
maintain. The new directory uses the best practices of modern WordPress development;
and, since it’s entirely open source, can be maintained and improved by a [much wider community](https://make.wordpress.org/meta/).

It’s been a long road, so it’s very exciting to finally launch the new Plugin Directory.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed their time and energy to the project, especially
[@obenland](https://profiles.wordpress.org/obenland/), [@mapk](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mapk/),
[@dd32](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dd32/), and [@gibrown](https://profiles.wordpress.org/gibrown/),
whose enthusiastic efforts made everything look easy.

The new directory has been built with future maintainability and iterative enhancement
in mind. We’re looking forward to hearing feedback from the whole WordPress community,
and making regular improvements and additions. Bug reports and specific enhancement
requests can be made in [Trac](https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/newticket?component=Plugin+Directory).

# 󠀁[Handbook Redesign](https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2017/01/21/handbook-redesign/)󠁿

The Handbooks are slowly being updated to the o2 theme (Breathe). With this upgrade,
I’ve been thinking about how we present our documentation, reference materials, 
etc. While Breathe was definitely refreshing, there’s still some experience issues
I need to work through.

#### CURRENT ITERATION

Right now, the amount of floating menus on the page is too many. When navigating
to a Handbook page there’s a floating menu on the left side, and possibly another
floating menu on the right side for in-page navigation. This compresses the initial
intro of the document a user might be reading causing some confusion with its odd
flow of characters.

[[

Current Handbook

 

#### PROPOSED ITERATION

I believe we could alleviate some of this by anchoring the left side menu a bit 
better and structuring these pages to appear more like a true documentation portal.
I made a few changes in Inspector within the browser and came up with something 
like this (b/c of this there’s no mobile version yet):

[[

Handbook

 

Some PROS and CONS are mentioned in a conversation here: https://meta.trac.wordpress.
org/ticket/2389

#### FEEDBACK

Please leave some feedback here in the comments or on the actual ticket. Everything
is helpful. I’m personally struggling with the floating right-side menu. There’s
been some good ideas for solutions, what’s yours? If you have a few minutes to take
a brief survey regarding the Handbook usage, please do! [Handbook Usage Survey](http://wordpressdotorg.polldaddy.com/s/handbook-usage-survey)
