@bph also provided an update beforehand on Digital check in for 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.-Editor End User Documentation (BEE-docs). Birgit requested that the BEE-docs team members leave comments on that post. (asynch to the meeting)

Meeting Times

There has been a broad discussion on the meeting time that may be suitable for majority of the team members. However it has proven to be very difficult with the DST (daylight saving time) practiced in different parts of the world. Reference to the discussion: https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP4WU5/p1602518383390100

Google Season of Docs 2020

Diana Mivelli provided update as following:

  • Been reviewing HelpHub articles and titles and recommending title updates.
  • Trying to make sure article titles adhere to sentence-case capitalization style (instead of title case) and suggesting titles away from gerunds.
  • Taking note of some overlapping content/duplicate content articles accordingly.
  • Discussing the ways to managing these suggestions as they come up with @estelaris.

@tacitonic provided update too:

  • About to finish the Language and Grammar section.
  • Updated the progress in the README file daily: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Documentation-Style-Guide

  • Extended the project duration from the standard length (3 months) to a long running project (5 months) upon I discussion with mentors, and found it appropriate to extend it owing to multiple factors.

@tacitonic reported this week:

  • I’ve completed the Document Guidelines section, with the exception of External Sources. I’ll write that after a final policy has been established.
  • Currently working on the Language and Grammar section.
  • I update my progress in the README file daily: https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Documentation-Style-Guide
  • The location for the Style Guide is yet to be determined. I was thinking about a simple URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org similar to developers.google.com/style.

@dianamivelli begun working on the GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ for the classification project and will start tracking progress and content in that repository. In the meantime, @estelaris will open a ticket to move the repository to WordPress.

Open Floor

Last week, @joyously mentioned that the page on how to contribute to the block editor was difficult to find. There was a discussion and as a quick fix, the team agreed to upload a link to the welcome box.

The team is asking the team reps to decide where will be the best place to add that link for easy finding. @milana_capsuggested a sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. with all the “Get Start” links and are waiting for response from @kenshinoand @atachibana.

Our band is growing, as suggested by @milana_cap we are listing the musicians in our team.

“Do not allow your fire to go out.Spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not at all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish in lonely frustration for the life you deserved and have never been able to reach. The world you desire can be won. It exists. It is real. It is possible. It is yours.”
