Project Updates
It was a busy week for the 6.1 release cycle – many dev notes are published and some are still in review.
Release candidate 1 is ready today as reported by @milana_cap.
@samanthaxmunoz has been working on a block pattern for Block Documentation and the pattern is ready for review before it is added and documented – see Issue #474.
@femkreations reviewed 333 closed PRs in Gutenberg from 13.1 through 14.1 with the User Documentation label and created 78 issues in GitHub for 6.1 User Documentation.
@femkreations also reviewed the About page draft and listed top priority tasks for the November 1st release. There are 25 items to do that ideally will be completed before the release of WordPress 6.1. The list is pinned to the #docs Slack channel.
Reclassification of End User Documentation
The reclassification of end user documentation has been finalized and there are now articles ready for content review.
In summary, the goal of the reclassification project is to re-organize the end user documentation and remove “too technical” content from end user documentation and/or merge it into developer docs.
An inventory of technical parts from end user documentation can be found here.
Related, WordPress.org Support is being renamed to Documentation – more information about that is available here, “Renaming WordPress.org Support to Documentation”.
Equal priority should be given to WordPress 6.1 documentation and the reclassification project.
Process in Project Boards Discussion
The team discussed the process for documentation project boards at length. As it stands there are only 2 columns, “In Progress” and “Review”, which are not clear and were discussed last week.
Various ideas were suggested about how to organize the project boards including separating into “new documentation” and “existing documentation”.
A consideration is that during Contributor Days often issues get screenshots and content updates in the comments of the issue, but the articles are not updated or assigned.
New columns have been added with temporary names such as “Text in progress” and “Screenshots in progress” but will likely continue to be refined.
The discussion will continue asynchronously or during the next meeting.
Open Floor
An Online Contributors Day for the Docs Team was discussed and will take place on October 25th starting at 10 am UTC.
@mayankgupta mentioned that DesktopServer has been discontinued yet is referenced in several documentation articles and has created an issue where mentions of DesktopServer are being noted.
