Docs Chat: Apr. 24, 2014


Thank you to everyone who came. For anyone unable to attend, you can read the logs here.

The following is a summary of the topics that were discussed.

1. DevHub: @siobhan said @nacin, @otto42, and @coffee2code have been putting the finishing touches on the parser and the code reference theme this week, and version 1 of the new code reference is almost ready to be deployed now online.

Nacin, Otto, and Scott

2. Admin Help: @jazzsequence said the team discussed the personas that @jerrysarcastic provided. Other discussion included whether to continue reviewing older user testing videos or focus on finalizing the plans for new user testing, as well as possible solutions, including admin tours.

3. Handbooks: The contributor handbooks have a new design, thanks to @sonjanyc! @samuelsidler deployed the new theme this week to all of the contributor handbooks across make.wordpress.org (thank you Sam!). We need to make a decision whether to keep the Pages list at the top of parent pages and style it, or to remove the list entirely, so please leave your feedback on the post.

4. Trac: The Docs team needs to provide feedback on changing a text string in Trac ticket #27196. Anyone interested that may have a better way to explain the error is welcome to comment and/or provide a patch.

5. Contributor Experience Survey: @jenmylo posted the WordPress Contributor Experience Survey – 4 questions, none are mandatory. Please take the survey, then post, tweet, and tell your co-contributors/community members about it so they can take the survey too.
