@milana_cap published 6 onboarding sessions on wordpress.tv thanks to the TV team and @rahuldsarker.
Two more are scheduled for June 22, 2022.
This is a temporary location for the onboarding videos. They will be moved to the WordPress Handbook with longer descriptions.

An upwards of 60% of comments in the old PHP documentation don’t abide by WordPress coding standards.
@lucp posted feedback comments noting this issue.
Most of it is around spacing and parenthesis, which will be a task for a smaller contributor day.
Escaping or internationalization is suitable for fixing now.
@lucp will open an issue in the WordPress docs GitHub repo to track the issues that need resolving, RE: escaping and translation-fixing.
Code reference comments (user-contributed notes) are a part of the docs team purview. Comments is the underlying code base that’s used for it.
There’s a review process for new comments that’s completed by the DevHub team.
User Notes (DevHub) Curators: @audrasjb, @crstauf

Issues with WordPress version 5.9 for the HelpHub are being worked on.
Later, the issues will be merged into the 6.0 project.
A lot of images don’t have ALT text and this needs to be emphasized for adding screenshots to HelpHub articles.
@milana_cap noted that ALT text is mentioned in the docs team Handbook.
A list will be added for this to the GitHub Issue Template for resolving on WordCamp contributor days.
An extra phase in the content review process will be added to address this issue.

Props to @ninianepress for writing the notes.
