1. Handbook Overhaul—Task Assignments

  • The meeting began with the launch of the Handbook Overhaul project, focusing on assigning tasks to contributors.
  • Each participant will be assigned at least one new page to create and two or three pages to review.
  • The objective is to ensure every single documentation page is properly replicated before the originals are deleted—anything not replicated will be lost.
  • Tasks for contributors fall into three categories:
    • Create: New pages to be created, primarily copied from the originals.
    • Review: Existing pages requiring review and verification.
    • Discuss: Pages to be discussed in any meeting, like the Archive section.
  • A second call-out will be made for more volunteers, who will then be assigned tickets.

2. Proposal: Archiving Old Sections

  • A proposal was presented to create an “Archive” section in the documentation for obsolete content.
  • The specific example raised was archiving the “FSE Outreach Experiment” page and similar sections not currently useful.

3. Section Review: “Crawl your test site for errors”

  • A specific section, “Crawl your test site for errors”, was discussed.
  • The group debated whether this section is still relevant to keep, with some members expressing doubts.
  • The decision was left open for further review and comments. Removal will be approached in the next meeting unless there are any arguments against it.

7. Closing and Open Floor

  • @fakhriaz commented about ongoing testing, such as a categoryCategory The 'category' taxonomy lets you group posts / content together that share a common bond. Categories are pre-defined and broad ranging. dropdown not meeting accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) standards (#63531), and a problem with classic widgets.
  • Also, members were informed, that during testing (e.g., “Accordion blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.”), participants can report that no issues were found after comprehensive checks.
  • A proposed change in the meeting structure: start with discussions and open floor items, and save announcements for the end. This aims to capitalize on initial engagement and ensure action points aren’t overlooked.
