Open Floor

5.9 Release (Documentation)

@mkaz will be the Docs Lead for WP 5.9 with help from @audrasjb and @zzap on core docs, and @annezazu for user docs

@femkreations @mburridge offered to help with these docs

Design refresh for Org sites

@mkaz comments the Meta team is working on a design refresh for Org sites starting with /News, see work-in-progress here: https://wordpress.org/news-test/

They are building them as block themes, with the idea of other handbooks would be child themes off them.

Licensing Legal Text

 @chaion07 comments a few weeks back we were discussing on Licensing Legal Text with Josepha to assist us (saw this in the #team-reps channel)

@kenshino says the text is expected to be with the lawyers this week because Gutenberg docs are also on WordPress.org, it makes things slightly more complicated

The main issue is that general contents are CC0 and code is GP, but Gutenberg is also dual-licensed – GPL + MIT, so this info has been passed to the lawyers for them to sort out
