  • Big thank you to @incapit who tackled a new page Keyboard Navigation & Shortcuts, @Tom Rankin for Mac Support, and @bizanimesh for review and publishing the first iteration is now online.
  • @geheren is working on identifying updates that will come to 5.7
  • @tomrankin and I and who else would like to join use planning for Full Site Editing documentation 5.8. It’s still early and the UIs are not settled yet…. but it’s also a big topic so we might need more time to tackle it.

  • Welcome also to @lauramaray as a new contributor.

Monthly Coffee Break Summary (January 2021)

Summary of Docs Team Virtual Coffee Break: January 2021

Plans for next Coffee Break
@chaion07 suggested that it would be a great idea to give preference to different time zones and more facilitators.
@milana_cap suggested that:

  • Write down what is expected from the host and who to contact for possible questions (like we have for facilitating the meeting).
  • Try to get the next host promised at the actual break.

Google Season of Docs
@tacitonic reported on the following:
Updates for this week:

  • I’m about to complete the final Developer Content section tonight.
  • Currently awaiting approval for these articles: External linking, obsolete docs.
  • The final item left is the Word list and usage dictionary. This would most likely be a running article and words would be added as and when they are deemed to be important enough.
