- For anyone on a Windows machine, getting confirmation that either (1) the installation instructions are accurate or (2) providing edits to that specific for Windows via wptide#100
- A couple non-1.0.0 issues related to the wptide.org docs site that could also use contributions for folks not eager to take on full understanding of the Tide internals
- 1) Essentially propose a better way to have markdown files power the docs site, possibly leveraging what’s used for the WP-CLI team
- 2) Fix a layout issue for the mobile view of the docs site
- 3) Provide way for mobile nav to be collapsible to make the mobile view of the docs site more user-friendly, possibly using a hamburger menu
