  • Sprint is this week Thursday Feb. 25 – P2 post. If you want to learn more about the Full-site editing, also join this sprint.
  • The meta team is working on a scheduled update feature, so we can work on our pages on the site, without overwriting existing pages. It’s now in alpha-test and if you want to test it contact  @Corey McKrill to get you access. 

HelpHub Redesign

Updates by @estelaris

Changing the anchor # from documentation. As of now, if you are to read a title with a screen reader, for example “New to WordPress #” it will read “new to WordPress number” ,
The accessibility issue plus the visual noise caused by that # and the images are the reasons of changes. Will write up a post this week explaining this.

HelpHub issue

@deadpool76 found the wrong descriptions about PHP requirements. Though they were already fixed, multiple pages should not have the duplicate information. @atachibana will integrate duplicate requirement articles.

New Member Mentoring

🎉 Four new members joined the Docs channel in the past 7 days and were welcomed by @tacitonic.
