Housekeeping
There’s a call for folks to lead and take notes for meetings. If you’re interested, please comment on this post! This is a great way to get involved and open to anyone that’s attended a few meetings.
A month has passed since the team started alternating meetings. How is it going?
@mazeheld noted that he thought maybe the Wednesday meeting was too early in the day.
@mikeschroder said he’d create a post on make/hosting A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. to discuss, and collect some statistics for sharing after feedback is collected.
This has now been created — please read and comment on this post with how you think things are going.
WordPress 5.2 Check-in
Those present seemed to think the 5.2 release was well received.
@mazeheld brought up increased support due to Site Health This WordPress functionality will perform a number of checks on your installation to detect common configuration errors and known issues, and also allows plugins and themes to add their own checks. Check. They made a support page specifically to address concerns surrounding it.
A couple of folks mentioned surprise that PHP PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a general-purpose scripting language especially suited to web development. PHP code is usually processed on a web server by a PHP interpreter. On a web server, the result of the interpreted and executed PHP code would form the whole or part of an HTTP response. versions < 7.3 result in a lost score, and that seeing a 100% score matters to customers.
Two ideas around it were to have recommendations (outside of requirements) separated from the “score” or to have some recommendations dismissable by administrators if they don’t apply to that user/environment.
There was a little confusion as to what themes are required to stay and/or be removed to have a perfect score.
PHP Upgrade Workshops
@shinichin shared about the PHP upgrade workshops that were run at WordCamp 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. Haneda.
There was a room where hosts got together and gave presentations about how to upgrade with their panels, then a group of volunteers helped folks upgrade.
Around 50 folks got their sites upgraded!
As a result, they want to create documentation so that more meetups and WordCamps in Japan can do the same.
@miss_jwo will connect with @shinichin with documentation from the Site Health booth from WCEU last year, with the plan to do this at WCEU this year as well!
