Meeting summary
---------------
* opening chatter  (samccann, 15:01:57)

* Documentation updates  (samccann, 15:04:54)
  * revamped getting started published! -
    https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/getting_started/index.html
    (samccann, 15:05:28)
  * need some reviews on these http redirects for  the old getting
    started and quickstart guide pages - https://pastebin.com/iYCskNLD
    (samccann, 15:10:38)
  * we have a set of redirects 2.9 <-> Ansible 3,4,5,(6). Do we need
    them around for Ansible 7 when 2.9 has already EOL'd?  (samccann,
    15:15:08)
  * ACTION: samccann -  test out bringing back redirects for pre -2.5
    (https://github.com/ansible/docsite/pull/38/files) and if  that
    works, open community-topic to discuss if we bring that back but
    lose redirects 2.9 <--> Ansible package docs   (samccann, 15:33:49)
  * Seems like our redirects are either pre-2.5, or 2.9 <--> Ansible
    package (to support version switcher)  (samccann, 15:34:18)
  * but 2.9 is EOL and no longer in version switcher so may not need
    those redirects anymore.  (samccann, 15:34:34)

* Ansible community-writers  (samccann, 15:35:29)
  * we now have a batch of technical writers volunteering to help out
    with Ansible docs (across all projects)  (samccann, 15:35:55)
  * for now, this is limited to docs PR reviews and anything
    well-described in the issue that can be solved with Github Edit
    button.  (samccann, 15:36:28)
  * this is open to collection owners, any ansible-related project that
    needs help  (samccann, 15:38:15)
  * - if you need an editor to review docs PRs or do light editing (edit
    on github) we have a team of community writers willing to help. See
    https://github.com/orgs/ansible-community/projects/3/views/1?sortedBy%5Bdirection%5D=asc&sortedBy%5BcolumnId%5D=Status
    and ping us here if you need access to add your PRs/easyfix issues
    to that board.  (samccann, 15:38:28)
  * always looking for help on the backlog - issues -
    https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Adocs
    and PRs -
    https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+label%3Adocs
    (samccann, 15:39:13)

* doctools  (samccann, 15:39:57)
  * Do we want to add names to changlogs? See
    https://github.com/ansible/awx/releases/tag/21.1.0 (especially new
    contributors)  (samccann, 15:40:10)
  * ACTION: samccann to create issue to add to changelog fragment
    instructions that they should be written for end users unless the
    change is specific to a developer  (samccann, 15:55:20)

* Open Floor  (samccann, 15:55:31)

Meeting ended at 15:59:33 UTC.
