## Agenda

You can check the initial agenda [here](https://make.wordpress.org/sustainability/2024/07/16/sustainability-chat-agenda-july-19-2024/).

### News

 * [Web sustainability guidelines for WordPress](https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C03JNV77Y57/p1721386995367989).
   The idea is to take existing information and examples (such as [this one](https://www.w3.org/blog/2023/introducing-web-sustainability-guidelines/)
   and [this one](https://sustainablewebdesign.org/guidelines/)) to create a manual
   focused on WordPress and its particularities, rather than on the web in general.
   
   One of the main points that was debated is “who” should we have in mind when 
   writing it. We agreed that there could be 2 potencial different readers, people
   who work with WordPress (developers and designers) and “casual/simple” users.
   So making a document that’s appealing to both it’s not easy.We could prioritize
   one for the initial guideline. Further discussion is needed.
