Meeting Note Takers

Here is our current note-taker roster:

Looking for feedback

We decided to clear the clutter in the Learn GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ repo, and we need volunteers to help us n that project. If you want to help us in validating the issues, triage process and finding and reporting errors in our published content, reply to this thread. This is your opportunity to make a difference. Remember – every contribution counts!

  • Our Guide program is active – if you need any help in onboarding process, we are here to help you.

Looking for volunteers

And, once again, big shoutout to @margheweb and all the guys and girls from Italian community for working on this. Thank you!

Update for last week’s triage squad

  • No meeting last week.
  • But, thanks to @mosescursor we started moving things in PR resolution, so we can say that the machine started to work!

Other news

  • As we can see here, WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. Dhaka 2025 was fantastic! Big THANK YOU to @devmuhib for leading the table on the Contributors Day!
  • We did not have Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/. in WordCamp Skopje 2025 but I managed to work with colleagues on WordCamp Youth workshop – photos will be available soon!

Contributor Updates

  • What have you been working on, and how has it been going?
  • Anything you’ve accomplished since the last meeting?
  • Do you have any blockers?
  • Can other contributors or Training Team members help you in some way?
    • @studionashvegas: I’m planning another workshop to do in November – if anyone has any requests, drop them here and I’ll look over them. October got a way from me with my day-job work, but I’m not letting that happen again.

Open Discussions

If you have topics you’d like discussed in the meeting, please leave them as a comment on this issue.
If anyone has anything async, please reply in this thread, and we can keep the discussion going.

  • @Mosescursor: Do we have a policy on AI content, Is it something we can discuss???
    • @rfluethi: I think that’s an interesting question. As far as I know, nothing like that exists yet. AI can certainly be very helpful as a supporting tool. But do we need clear rules for its use? And if so, in which areas — and what might those rules look like in practice?
    • @mohkatz: True, this is important as AI gets more integrated in all workflows and across teams. Our fellow colleagues/volunteers at #docs had kickstarted something I saw a few months ago not sure how far they’ve gotten with its implementation. We could also formulate something similar or more streamlined guidelines that leverage AI without sacrificing human originality, thought, agency, creativity and voice. https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2025/07/24/proposal-responsible-ai-workflow-for-creating-new-documentation-for-wordpress-6-9/
