Project Checks

@karthickmurugan had completed many issues which can be seen by here.

Open Floor

@milana_cap raised a concern that the majority of the team at the moment is from Asia. She believes 14:00 UTC is not the best time for the team to attend the meeting because it becomes very late for the team members living in APAC timezones. So, she would propose a poll for new meeting time that will include earlier hours on Tuesdays. The poll would be held today i.e. 02-Apr-2025 and would be initiated by herself.

@sagargurnani discussed how to attract more contributors to be the part of the #docs team and to work on the #docs. To which @milana_cap said that it needs pushing and announcing it regularly on social media and every single WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. maybe we can work on docs per project, and treat every project as “job posting” create a call, share it everywhere record videos how we do stuff, so that people can be onboarded more easily maybe we need new onboarding stuff.

@estelaris mentioned Matt’s plan for one major releaseMajor Release A set of releases or versions having the same major version number may be collectively referred to as “X.Y” -- for example version 5.2.x to refer to versions 5.2, 5.2.1, and all other versions in the 5.2. (five dot two dot) branch of that software. Major Releases often are the introduction of new major features and functionality. per year and this will give us opportunity to catch up with all issues and documentation and there’s a need for a plan for that.

P.S. – Please drop your comments with your ideas for attracting more new contributors to the #docs team.
