7.0 Documentation Overhaul

Some WCEU Contributor Day attendees worked on the 7.0 docs review; comments may be coming in. At least one block article page has outdated screenshots — not yet confirmed which one or whether an issue has been filed. @estelaris plans to focus entirely on the overhaul (writing/testing/updating) next week, with a goal of making progress before 7.1. WP Credits students will be asked to help review/test/validate updated block articles.

Open Questions

@kjoyner raised several questions:

  • Videos are auto-converting to VideoPress on upload — is this expected/recent?
    • Estela and Velda will look into this.
  • Should the show_in_rest suggestion for custom post types in the Query Loop block be included in HelpHub docs? (Currently noted in issue #1424)
    • Estela says let’s not add to HelpHub.
  • Should items in lists have periods at the end?
    • We usually add a period at the end of any sentences in lists, but not to sentence fragments.
  • Inconsistency in how the Block Inserter “(+)” is referenced across docs — the style guide suggests dropping “the” and “button” and just using “click XYZ”

Translations / Roadmap

@supernovia flagged interesting info from a WCEU Q&A session about translations. @estelaris needs to write a clear roadmap first, and have Mary and Matias review it before sharing more widely.

WordCamp US (August 16–19)

@supernovia plans to attend and asked if a docs table is needed. @clk87 is also expected to attend; plan is to divide efforts across tables where students can help. @estelaris is unsure about traveling to the US but can provide instructions remotely. @awetz583 and @supernovia both noted they’ll have some vacation around 7.1 RC1 timeframe; @awetz583 expects to be back around August 11.

Action Items

  • @supernovia — Write up meeting notes & look into VideoPress conversions
  • @estelaris — Write WCEU summary + proposals/roadmap for next year; coordinate with Mary and Matias on translations roadmap
  • @awetz583 — Catch up on 7.0 documentation feedback from WCEU later this week
  • Everyone — Keep an eye out for WCEU Contributor Day comments on block article issues
