Here is a brief summary of the IRC meeting held Friday, October 10. The IRC log can be read here: http://pastebin.com/f575075de. I had to leave the meeting early due to an unplanned meeting that came up, for which I apologize, and thanks to everyone that kept the meeting running. :-)
Announcements:
- Our group page has tabs for things like projects and issues now
- We now have a page status vocab on book pages pursuant to this issue: http://drupal.org/node/304826. The issue is still open because we need to document these changes so feel free to dive in and help with that so we can close that up.
- I've been asked to to a Docs presentation at DrupalCon so we tossed out a few topics: general state of documentation, the team, a report on what happened when we opened up the editing and the impact of the d.o redesign on docs.
- The Redesign prototypes are up, http://groups.drupal.org/node/15512, so please take a look and give feedback. Nothing on the docs section just yet.
AGENDA
Getting Involved:
The new book is now live but we still have some <a href=http://drupal.org/project/issues?projects=18753&text=Getting%20Involved:&states=1,16,8,13,14,15,2,4">work to do. Let's clean up at least the landing pages that need to be fleshed out so we can close the issues and consider the project"done." The continued betterment of the book will fall under regular handbook work like the others.
Open edit rights:
We have an issue in the webmasters queue to open the rights up: http://drupal.org/node/310912. We just need to do a few tasks before flipping the switch. The first was to set a date. We decided that we will shoot for October 15 to open the rights, which means the one month trial period will end November 15. At that point we will asses how things are going and whether we want to extend the period of close editing back up again.
In preparation for the switch we also need to:
1. Figure out which pages to restrict. A discussion was started on the mail list, then during the meeting a page on the group site was created, which was then moved to a handbook page so that everyone on the team can edit it and we point users to that pages for a list of the ones that are not editable by regular auth users.
2. Go through and change the input format to "Documentation" on pages we want to "lock"
3. Write an announcement to post to the front page on d.o
We agreed that we should gather up the list of pages (for #1) by Monday, Oct. 13 so that we have 2 days to lock. If anyone would like to start writing a draft for the front page announcement, feel free to write a draft and attach it to the main webmaster issue.
