# Docs Team Update for 15th January

This week the following work has been continuing:

**Handbooks**

We’ve started work on the handbooks. A review has been carried out of the current
CCH handbook and we’ve started to identify things that we need to add to it. I’m
also really pleased that Rachel Baker has agreed to be the editor for the Theme 
Developer Handbook, and Tom McFarlin for the 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/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. Developer Handbook. They both have
a lot of great expertise to bring to the project and I’m excited to be working with
them.

**Help Text**

@DrewAPicture has started a review of the [Network Admin help text](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/)
and has submitted [#23163](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/23163).

The following item will also be discussed at the Support/Docs chat this week:

**Docs on Communication**

Concerns were raised on Twitter about there not being a clear way to communicate
with the different areas of WordPress, be they coreCore Core is the set of software
required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress., or other
team reps. Discussion was [moved to the Docs blog](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2013/01/10/missing-breadcrumbs-to-support/)
and we’ll discuss in chat this week how we can come up with a solution.

[@jane](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jane/) Would it be possible to do these reports
on either Thursday or Friday? Soon after our chat would make sense.
