WordPress 6.7 – How are we doing
With WordPress 6.7 (hopefully) just released, let’s focus on what is happening around the release, things to be aware of, information to share, get the knowledge out there!
Support Tools
Some of the team tools have been updated recently, while others may need to change a little.
Topic highlighter
The Topic Highlighter got some love and care the past weeks, with new moderator highlight rules for archived content, and the ability to consider replied to reviews as “resolved”.
Flagging accounts
Firstly, a reminder that any account that is flagged should have user notes added to them, from the offending post/topic so that there is an automatic link back to the content that led to a user being flagged. User notes must be clear enough that anyone can understand why the user is flagged (remember that user notes are global across WordPress.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/, so moderators on other language forums can see them, and so can users with access to HelpScout, our ticketing system for reviews, escalations, etc.). This means they should be consistent, descriptive, but don’t write a whole novel. One should also be mindful of the fact that during a data export request, this text may be provided to the user.
In addition, with WordPress.org’s size in mind, and the majority of its content being user generated, there are new regulations we should discuss.
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!
Unable to make the meeting, or maybe meetings just aren’t your thing? We would still love to hear how things are going in other non-English speaking parts of our community. Please feel free to let us know via the comment section below, in your own time, if there is anything you’d like to share, any questions or concerns you have, or just to let us know you’re doing OK!
We will make a habit of putting this callout with every agenda post going forward, so that everyone has a chance to join in.
For any other items to discuss, please add them to the comments below, or bring them up in the meeting.
