Support Team Meeting – September 5th

The 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//support page

Currently, if you visit https://WordPress.org/support, you are redirected to the documentation page.

The team are aware this has been the source of some contention from many, and are looking to remedy it, to do so we need to make some decisions;

• Is there a wish to have a proper landing page here?
• Should the current page from https://WordPress.org/support/forums be used and display it here?
• Is there anything missing from the forum landing page if it is the chosen way forward
• What wishes are there for a landing page if that is the route decided on

If there is a desire to do something more with it, some wire-frames or mock-ups and ideas for what that is will be required, this may prolong the process somewhat, but may allow the team to do more with the page long term?

There is an existing ticket for reclaiming the top level directory at https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/6841, if the team chooses to do more with it, another ticket will be created as a pre-requisite for 6841 so that things happen in the correct order 🙂

And let’s not forget the rosetta sites in all of this, who currently display the forums page as the landing page.

Checking in with international liaisons

This is the section where we reach out to the non-English speaking parts of our community, to see how they are doing, if there’s anything we can help each other with, or just interesting things going on that it would be nice to share with others.

There’s no requirements for previous participation or “fame” to share here, anyone is welcome, and we encourage newcomers to participate!
