Today’s weekly meeting notes
This week we had a general meeting with a lot of housekeeping then a general discussion as things came up.
- Guidelines are being updated with recommended moving to the right places.
- We have an about page now listing all the people that are admin, reps, key reviewers and mentors.
- If you are a mentor you should be active, if you are not we will have to reassign your mentees. Please as a mentor speak up if you are no longer up for doing that role as it’s a crucial one to bringing on new reviewers.
- Lets all work towards welcoming all the new reviewers because you all rock!
- There is a meta request for a new reviewer theme assignment button: https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2014/10/07/at-the-theme-review-team-wed-would-like/
- We’re going to add a blue box to welcome people, This will be at the top of the page like core and support have. Using their same format.
- During wcsf lets try and make the weekly theme review chat have those of us there and those not in one irc chat. Try and include everyone that can be.
- Theme reviewing ain’t easy so lets support each other. We’re in this for the long run.
- We need to look at something offline people can do during contribution days. It was talked about having a contribution day pack. What would this look like. What could we do at wcsf community days to work on this? More to be talked about next week.
- The week after will be new reviewers. How do we onboard people, what are we missing. What is the experience like for them?
- We talked about how we retain people. We need to use the make blog to recognise people more. Maybe we could do a post each WordPress release to shout out to all the reviewers during that release? (Note: I’m going to try that this release).
- The weekly figures are now going to have a link back to the 7 day reviewer report to try and bring some recognition.
- At some point we’ll have a mentor chat.

- 14th October: Contribution Days
- 21st October: New Reviewers
- 28th October: WCSF/community open house session where we get as many onto irc as can around laptop if have to.
