@nhrrob mentioned there is a bug scrub happening today for WordPress 6.6 in the #core channel at 14:00 UTC on 21 May 2024. He encouraged beginners to join as it’s a good opportunity to learn about how tickets move forward and what keywords mean.
@webtechpooja then said they are thinking of starting a test bug scrub for upcoming 6.6 version tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. tickets in the #core-test channel, asking if anyone is interested.
@oglekler expressed interest, saying it would be great with the betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. 1 release in 2 weeks and some promising enhancements that need testing, stating “No tests – no go”.
@pbearne shared a trac link with a list of tests waiting to be committed that could be looked at.
@oglekler shared another trac link as a priority for the 2 weeks before beta 1.
@webtechpooja asked if anyone had day/time preferences for scheduling a bug scrub meeting. She also stated focus will be on as many tickets as possible with everyone’s support.
