  • @mukesh27: A few PRs that need review:
    • Fix unexpected input Warning message during release build/test process #437
    • PHPCSPHP Code Sniffer PHP Code Sniffer, a popular tool for analyzing code quality. The WordPress Coding Standards rely on PHPCS.: Use a period at the end #436

  • @mukesh27: How about a weekly Bug Scrub for the performance channel for performance-focused TracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. tickets? We have a total of 326 right now
    • @mxbclang: Was this intended to be a weekly scheduled meeting?
    • @mukesh27: Yes, if possible
    • @spacedmonkey: There are lots of core issues that are impossible to fix in the plugin and need to be fixed in core
    • @flixos90: Yeah, probably most Trac tickets should be fixed directly as core patches; only tickets that need to be implemented as bigger features should become plugin modules. Always depends on whether core has the necessary integration points to handle that or not.
    • @mxbclang: Weekly may be tough, how about monthly? Let’s start with the first Wednesday of the month at our regular meeting time, so our first one would be August 3, 2022, at 15:00 UTC
