When a feature plugin gets created, we offer them the full “treatment” across WordPress.org. There are a number of pieces involved and this page documents them.
Slack
A few things can/should be done on Slack.
- A new channel needs to be created in the form of #feature-name.
- If the plugin is using GitHub and wants comments or issues to appear in-channel, the integration needs to be added.
Beta Testing, GitHub Integration
The beta testing tab in the WordPress plugin directory – both online and in-product – should be updated to include the feature plugin. There is also an optional GitHub integration available.
- Update the plugins API include file to account for the new feature plugin. You’ll need the ID of the feature plugin.
- Optional: If a feature plugin wants daily updates automatically synced from a GitHub repository, update the relevant file in the meta repository.
Other things
- Ensure the feature plugin is added to the tracking page, including their weekly chat.
- Ensure that the weekly chat is listed on the meeting calendar.
