Project updates

@tacitonic:  The WordPress Documentation Style Guide has been completed. This includes all the remaining articles, the word list, and the usage dictionary.

15 min repo triage:

Issue 1(labeled needs-discussion): Some end-user docs are too technical

@milana_cap: Agrees we shouldn’t have technical details in the end-user docs. But raises the question – where, in DevHub, should that info live?

End-user docs are for people who don’t code and most likely don’t deal with hosting/server issues but rather contact support. We need a place in DevHub that will be dedicated to tasks like .htaccess, internationalization, localization, etc that are shared throughout developing with WordPress. These are neither 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/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party/theme topics nor common APIs but also are not the end-user concerns. 

She suggests we collect all the articles in the support section that are technical. This will help to get a better picture of the dedicated space we will need to create in DevHub.

@basilh  – Suggests hyperlinks to a dedicated space on wordpress.org for topics related to ApacheApache Apache is the most widely used web server software. Developed and maintained by Apache Software Foundation. Apache is an Open Source software available for free. and NginxNGINX NGINX is open source software for web serving, reverse proxying, caching, load balancing, media streaming, and more. It started out as a web server designed for maximum performance and stability. In addition to its HTTP server capabilities, NGINX can also function as a proxy server for email (IMAP, POP3, and SMTP) and a reverse proxy and load balancer for HTTP, TCP, and UDP servers. https://www.nginx.com/., etc. 

@milana_cap: Agrees to move all such info to another location on wordpress.org. And maybe say something like “For more advanced server settings take a check out this link”

ACTION ITEM: Please add your thoughts in the comments for the issue in GitHub.

Issue 2 (labeled good-first-issue): Update links inside the posts-screen DOC

  • @muhammadfaizanhaidar is unable to recreate the issue and will update in the comments for that issue. 
  • @TC to take a look at the issue, if needed.

Project updates

@milana_cap – Work in progress on the P2P2 P2 or O2 is the term people use to refer to the Make WordPress blog. It can be found at https://make.wordpress.org/. post about the doc team’s new workflow that we can share with other teams.

@atachibana – From the content site, processing as many related issues as possible. 

@femkreations: Added labels to the existing issues in the repo.

Handling issues across all documentation

Discussion on adding a dedicated time for repo triage :

by @milana-cap

The easy and straightforward issues don’t need triage but for issues that need discussion and the team’s decision, we could add a label like “discussion” or “needs discussion”.

Based on the number of issues under that label we can plan the meeting time for triage.

@kenshino: The triage is required so we can build the habit and for people to pick up issues.

DECISION: Dedicate 15 mins to triage issues during the weekly doc meetings. Depending on the number of issues we can make changes to the triage time if needed. Keep this in mind when making meeting agendas.

Discussion on adding labels to issues requesting new document/article:

by @milana-cap

This is related to the PR – issue template that’s requesting a new page/article.

@milana-cap has added labels for 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, and 5.9 for releases.

@kenshino: At some point, we should have documentation tied to specific releases.

DECISION: Add “new document” label to the issues requesting new document/article, for now. @femkreations to update the issue template with the label.

@zzap:
We should start migrating end user blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. editor docs issues from trelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way.

Do the new folks have the capabilities they need, to do things like add labels or whatever?

@zzap to ask metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. to connect github repo with the SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. channel so that we are notified for every new issue.

@joyously:
Was there still a planned automation of opening issues directly from the docs?
@zzap:
It is planned but first we want to see how this will go and what exactly we want the workflow to look like. I believe that would be 2nd phase.

Project Updates

HelpHub content team has started the new repository and it is working well.

New repository to hande issues across all documentation

@kenshino:
New official repository for documentation issues created: https://github.com/WordPress/Documentation-Issue-Tracker. New Issues have already been reported in the new repo: https://github.com/WordPress/Documentation-Issue-Tracker/issues

Management of the repo:

@kenshino who is preparing README.md:

Focusing on how one would use the repo so that
1. Issues are picked up
2. There’s no overlap / repeated work
e.g. I’ll be putting in guidelines such as
– If you are working on an issue, assign it to yourself
– If you don’t have permissions to assign, please let us know you’d like to pick this issue up and we’ll do the assignments

Issue Templates

@femkreations who is making on updates of issue template:

https://github.com/WordPress/Documentation-Issue-Tracker/pull/12

@kenshino :
we can make 2 issue templates. One for current doc fixes, one for doc requests.
Let’s start with one of the following

  • Doc Fix / New Doc
    OR
  • User Doc / Dev Doc

@joyously :
Can there be an initial input of a URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org, and that is used to choose the correct template?

@kenshino :
It’s a button. It will look like this.

@basilh :
Most of these have not used the template. Will these be discarded and required to use the new templates)?

@atachibana:
My failure. I copied opened issues from other repository. We should follow the template and I will do.

Labels

@femkreations:
Do we need to manually assign labels to the existing ones?

@kenshino:
Yes please manually assign for now

Open Floor

@kenshino :
We can probably use one of the meetings to do some triage
