Docs Chat: July 31, 2014


The following is a summary of the topics discussed:

1. DevHub: @samuelsidler said more progress was made. @coffee2code is in the process of committing new stuff, including the mods to selectively enable the handbooks (with necessary tweaks and fixes), along with fixes for #437 (Make watch/unwatch a post action link rather than a widget), #439 (add handbook name to the top of handbook pages), and #436 (remove “Flag Unresolved” from handbook pages). He’s also done some initial work on example voting. @siobhan and @samuelsidler are discussing the best way to get general (non-typo) feedback, such as how the site functions, new features, etc. (7/29/2014 chat log)

2. Handbooks: The WordCamp Vancouver Contributor Day had 6 people focusing on the handbooks. Most of them worked on the Theme Developer Handbook, but a couple worked on the Plugin Developer Handbook. @blobaugh and @sewmyheadon send a huge thank you to the WordCamp Vancouver contributors! We also discussed the internal links in both handbooks. Currently there are a lot of links to existing Codex pages that will need to be changed to internal links in the handbooks, and the Codex pages redirected. A full review of all links will take place once the handbooks are migrated to DevHub, and necessary changes made at that time. (7/30/2014 chat log)

3. Seattle Docs Sprint: @sewmyheadon said the next WordPress Docs Sprint is Saturday, August 2, 2014 (today!) at 10am PDT in Seattle. The focus will continue to be on both developer handbooks. Contributors can also participate virtually in the #wordpress-sfd IRC channel.
