October 18th Support Team Meeting Summary

General announcements

We’re working on updating the support guidelines, it’s being done via GitHub and everyone is welcome to contribute at https://github.com/Clorith/wporg-support-guidelines

Our helpful tools (Also Viewing script and such), as noted in https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/appendix/helpful-tools/, have moved slightly. As userscripts no longer reliably update over gist files, it’s recommended to remove your existing one and re-install from the links provided on that page.

Checking in with international liaisons

Things are fine according to the international liaisons.

Getting ready for 5.0

We should start working on the new BBQ post (the master topic for the new release on the forums) soon. We can use references from both https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XaARXrJBF9CQ0qNHHbDxvvlZTtyrG7b9scjuFFJll7E/edit and https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/blob/master/docs/reference/faq.md

October 11th Support Team Meeting Summary

Quarterly Check-in

There was one special item that was Quarterly Check-in in which following questions are asked & discussed.

  • What is the team’s one-sentence top priority right now (and what’s the ETA)?
    • Preparing for the upcoming 5.0 release
  • What struggles is the team having?
    • Finding a good balance when being stonewalled by users seeking help and when to walk away, and avoiding escalated tempers in such cases.
    • Recruitment (always a crows favorite)
  • What is one thing you are all proud of this quarter?
    • With how well the team, on a global level, has managed to maintain a good flow of user engagement through support.

Checking in with international liaisons

Members of the Swedish, Italian, Greek, Urdu, Dutch, Spanish, Brazilian, Russian and Serbian communities were there to let us know how things are going in the other corners of our lovely support community.

Open Floor

In open floor following stuff is shared:

  • Meta WordCamp team is planning to convert the WordCamp shortcodes into blocks.
  • The a11y team (#accessibility) has recently experienced some change-ups and we could use some more volunteers – if any of you have accessibility experience (or want to learn more) you’re more than welcome to attend our weekly chats.

Mobile Team Update – October 9th

WordPress iOS and Android version 11.0 will be released for beta testing tomorrow. Sign up here to join the beta program on iOS or follow this link on your Android device, tap on Become a beta tester.

Highlights for the last two weeks:

  • iOS: The XCode10/Swift 4.2 migration was completed.
  • iOS: The tyranny of the blank page is no more! We’ve added suggestions for next steps to every page without content.
  • iOS: When you write a new post, the app automatically saves drafts on your device, so none of your work is ever lost.
  • Android: We’ve restyled a few more screens to keep improving consistency across the app.
  • Mobile Gutenberg: We upgraded to the latest React Native version (getting us closer to Gutenberg web’s setup). We are moving forward with the bottom fixed formatting toolbar and the writing flow (new blocks on “Return” key).
