Facilitation Resources

Helpful resources for facilitating the meeting and writing the meeting notes.

Project Checks: Contributions

The team is now down to 683 open issues, with 5 issues closed in the past week.

WordCamp Asia Contributor Day

The Documentation team is missing the table lead for the WordCamp Asia Contributor Day. The team has been discussing possible leads from the list of registered attendees: @sagargurnani, @anandau14, as possible table leads, with help from @bph and @clk87.

Documenting WordPress 7.0 release

With the smaller release squad, the Docs team has two representatives volunteered to work on updating end-user docs for 7.0, @sajib1223 and @milana_cap. The team will follow instructions drafted by @estelaris, while working on this new workflow together with @annezazu on 6.9 release. In this scenario, @milana_cap will act as a mentor due to her experience with working on release docs in previous releases. As the others expressed the interest, this will be done publicly (in the #docs channel), starting from next week.

A very helpful resource is provided by @annezazu in the comment on the planning post for 7.0.

Open Floor

Contribution Pathways

@supernovia noted that, by WordCamp Asia, we should have several contribution pathways ready. These will be moved to GitHub and available to new contributors at Contributor Day. @estelaris shared the general GitHub issue the team uses for Contributor Days.

Previously, @supernovia shared three “contribution pathway” one-pagers created by @clk87:

Goals for these guides:

  • Provide clear, step-by-step entry points for new and existing contributors.
  • Eventually be linked from the main contribution index (final location still to be decided).
  • Support a growing pool of 200+ student contributors looking for ways to contribute, with more students coming.

AI-powered documentation assistant for WordPress core blocks

@estelaris shared the draft about the AI-powered documentation assistant for WordPress core blocks (draft) that she will be working on with the #core-ai team, and hopefully will be ready for 7.1 It will be trained to give recommendations based on existing block docs. This is one of the reasons why Overhaul has been pushed for the block docs to be updated.

Any comments, ideas, questions, and reviews for the draft are welcome. Please, leave them in the document.
