Update on docs

  • we are making headway in updating pages to 5.5

  • Haven’t consolidated all spreadsheets yet, will do so this week
  • Tried to get PRs from the Gutenberg github repository labeled “UserDocumentation” into the #meta-helphub channel so we can be aware and add them to our trello cards

@justinahinon: Posted the proposal on the team p2 last week for a new better structured Gutenberg developer documentation.

External Linking Policy

Google Season of Docs 2020

Two people got selected @tacitonic and @diana Mivelli. Two mentors will get allocated at the following projects

  • Improve Article Discoverability in WordPress HelpHub Documentation
  • A Full and Renewed Set of Documentation Style Guide

@timohaver and @diana Mivelli will work on Article Discoverability. @estelaris thinks that both the projects will get merged at some point. As a style guide @estelaris will contribute to article discoverability, so we should be able to all work together in both projects

Open Floor

@tomf raised a query regarding WordCamps are not funding any kind of multi-day events (even digital ones) and no longer funding any swag too.

@wpza proposed to remove the WordPress branding + using your own Dashboard styles. Which is when you go to Users > Edit (single user) > Select a theme, a chance for WP devs to upload their own theme for toolbar colours, branding, etc.

Please feel welcome to suggest revisions in the comments.
