Item(s) for discussion this Thursday:
First Item
Much Ado About No Replies. We’re never going to get through 400+ pages of threads with no replies, sorry folks! How do we go about improving the situation to better represent what we can do and therefore make the queue more useful to us?
Proposal:
Phase 1: Limit No Replies queue to threads under 1 month, and remove no reply threads marked Resolved. This helps us out a ton, we shouldn’t be expected to do it all, we should only focus on what is current and therefore relevant. If folks still need help, they’ll ask again.
Phase 2: rel=”noindex” all topics with no reply, removing the rel=”noindex” once a reply is received. This will block (and eventually remove) them from search indexes, thus preventing folks from finding empty threads in their quest for answers.
If all in favor, we’ll file a meta ticket.
Second Item
Ratings now reflect only normal reviews. Non-review star-only ratings have been removed from the ratings total, as have deleted reviews. See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/star-rating-of-our-plugin-has-changed-overnight-1-star-and-5-star-look-switched?replies=2#post-6614350 for details.
For any other items to add please suggest them in the comments. Or in the meetup itself; the group is pretty flexible. 😉
