Project Updates
A full transcript can be found in the #docs channel in the Making WordPress Slack
- HelpHub content
- thanks to @annezazu, HelpHub is getting new pages relating to V5.9. Those pages will be translated via #polyglots team.
- @atachibana highlighted the need for auto-changelog – this is a topic for future discussion.
- future plans: re-design of HelpHub, adding TOC or index into side bar area – however global design changes are coming.
- Block editor end user docs
- currently without lead in case anyone wants to volunteer.
- a large amount of work is still outstanding here, tasks need to be moved from Trello to GitHub while filtering out what’s no longer relevant and keeping what is still relevant.
- @milana_cap will start working on that this week and allocate some time each week until a new lead volunteers to own the project and can then continue the work themselves.
- @atachibana will also help with this.
- @jdy68 expressed interest in helping.
- HelpHub feedback curating
- currently without lead in case anyone wants to volunteer.
- comments are coming in but someone is needed to curate them, filter out the spam and support and move the relevant ones to GitHub.
- @esteleris has been helping out.
- if anyone wants to be responsible for managing these comments, @milana_cap is willing to explain everything in detail.
- Plugin handbook
- future plans: needs to be updated with the style guide.
- it has been “blockified” already but still needs external linking.
- @themiked plans to create a plugin which will form the basis for a progressive tutorial – this is still in the preliminary stages.
- Theme handbook
- there’s an open ticket to link to the block theme docs in the Block Editor Handbook.
- updates have been made to the Theme handbook for pages that share info for both classic and block themes, such as the Getting Started page.
- a new page has been added: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/releasing-your-theme/updating-your-theme/.
- block themes and classic themes have been separated in the developer handbook menu, which will make it easier for those who want to find resources for the two separate theme types.
- in addition, some typos, old links, and other minor things have been updated.
- @milana_cap asked whether there is any content on converting a classic theme into a block based theme, but @kafleg reports that content on block themes has not been started on yet. There are, however, plans to create a list of topics.
- @atachibana emphasised the need for a page on creating a Child Theme from a Block Theme.
- @utz119 created an issue to address this.
- Common APIs handbook
- @milana_cap stated that she has ideas for this one and will create a GitHub issue for it.
- Reference handbook – curating user contributed notes
- there are currently 38 pending comments.
- please ping @milana_cap if help is needed on this.
- Docs team handbook
- there’s a requirement to go through this handbook and see what’s missing/outdated/etc…
- Onboarding
- @sukafia acknowledges that this has been on hold for a while. Previous work will be reviewed and next steps decided on.
- Coffee breaks
- @sukafia acknowledges that this has been on hold for a while. Previous work will be reviewed and next steps decided on.

- WP.org is getting a full redesign, @estelaris now has access to the style guide and will change the previous design of HelpHub and hopes to present the new redesign at WCEU.
