We had a packed WCEU contributor Day for the Docs team. We worked on various issues mostly on the block editor end user ones.
@bph and @leogermani helped out in co-leading and onboarding.

We have a new block editor end-user docs rep – @femkreations
@milana_cap will be moving to other projects such as improving the onboarding process, updating the related docs, recording videos, and doing live onboarding sessions.

The design for the Docs is almost done.
@estelaris will also add design elements for warnings and notes that @femkreations asked for.
Each section of wordpress.org will have a similar look with a different color palette. This will make it easy to know what we are looking at.
The look and feel of Devhub will be the same as Helphub.
The landing page for documentation will now include everything:
- The last section in the landing page design (under Developers) will replace https://developer.wordpress.org/
At some point, DevHub will also go through a site map review, as she did for HelpHub.
We’ll also have some kind of automated linking to the Learn platform, like a widget in the sidebar.

There are two items on the menu under support: documentation and forums.
The URL for documentation is wordpress.org/support which makes no sense.
The URL for the documentation needs to be more obvious. e.g. docs.wordpress.org
Support is not a place where developers look for docs.
Support means interaction, docs are information.
Support needs to go to the support forums and not to documentation.
@estelaris to discuss this with Josepha and the meta team and start the implementation soon.

@psykro raised the question about moving the Action Reference and Filter Reference pages from the Codex to DevHub.
He will open new GH tickets for each one, to allow for further discussion there.
It will be moved into the Common API.
The order of firing will be updated and new hooks will be added.

We are bringing back the zoom hangouts for coffee and chat.
It’s a 30 min hangout, once a month.
@estelaris will set up a doodle for the summer dates – June-August where folks can vote for the time/date.

@milana_cap will be posting doodles for onboarding sessions in the docs slack channel.
The sessions will be split by projects.
They will be recorded and uploaded to wordpress.tv.
