The agenda for the 16th February will be

• Short update from the contributors what they have worked on.
• Define goals for the next meeting.
• Discuss any open issues and/or pull requests that need attention.

We need help with the following items.

• Create Sniffssniff A module for PHP Code Sniffer that analyzes code for a specific problem. Multiple stiffs are combined to create a PHPCS standard. The term is named because it detects code smells, similar to how a dog would "sniff" out food. – Here are a list of good first issues to work on.
• Test the Beta Theme Check 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.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party to find potential issues with the checks.
