The Docs team needs your help to update and revise the End User Documentation (HelpHub) for the upcoming WordPress 6.2 release, expected on March 28, 2023.
You can find a list of all the tasks in the 6.2 project board in the Documentation’s repo on GitHub.
The tasks have been sorted into medium priority tasks and high priority tasks. The team plans to complete the high priority tasks by the 6.2 scheduled release date.
How you can help
If you are new to the Docs team, you can select from the list of good first issues.
If you are new to contributing to WordPress, you can review this onboarding post with training videos and links to help you get started.
Based on what you are interested in, review the medium priority tasks, high priority tasks or good first issues.
Mention in a comment on the GitHub issue you would like to work on and someone on the Docs team will assign it to you.
Once a task is assigned to you, the following two videos show how to help with updating the existing articles in End User Documentation (HelpHub).
If you have questions or need help, ask in the docs channel on the Make WordPress Slack or directly in the GitHub issue itself. If your meetup or firm can give a block of time to help, do include the Release co-leads for 6.2 documentation in your message: (Slack IDs) @bph, @zzap, @Femy, and @abhanonstopnewsuk.
Resources
If you need a test site with WordPress 6.2 pre-installed, you can use this app provided by InstaWP to spin up a new temporary website set. It is preloaded with Theme Test data and other pre-configuration, ready to go. This new site will be available to use for four hours. After that, if you need another test site to contribute to docs, you can visit the link again and create a new temporary site.
