I put down some details about how we can reduce contributor overhead. samccann and some of the core folks agreed on an approach to track doc items using a project board 15:09:40 #info samccann can get into the nitty gritty details next week but I think it's safe to say we've been discussing the concerns and - fingers crossed - we should be alright. personally I have zero concerns with losing any sort of technical stewardship from core. 15:10:27 sutapa_bhattacharjee: is there anything you'd like to talk about today? 15:10:41 I assigned that issue for the checklist to you 15:12:12 We haven't received much feedback relating to this issue. https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/232 15:12:44 I've pinged some folks to get their suggestions. 15:13:44 ok, great. I know it can be tough getting feedback and suggestions, believe me. 15:13:50 oranod: Yes I'll let you know if I need help.Thanks. 15:13:52 we can put that in the bullhorn 15:14:24 and if you don't get much help, feel free to ping either myself or Sandra here and we can always shake the tree 15:14:44 you're very welcome sutapa_bhattacharjee ! thanks for taking that one on. 15:15:30 oranod: Thank you 😀 15:16:59 #topic docsite updates 15:17:49 #info I opened a PR to remove the oldsite toggle from the landing pages on docs.ansible.com 15:18:04 #link https://github.com/ansible/jinja-docsite/pull/122 15:18:54 I'm also using the quiet time today to bang through a bunch of improvements to the jinja templates in the docsite 15:19:25 so hopefully we'll have a cleaned up and easier to update docsite here real soon 15:20:05 #topic Getting Started updates 15:20:26 why did that topic work but not the docsite updates topic? 15:20:37 zodbot works in mysterious ways 15:20:43 moving on... 15:21:29 #info last week we got a PR merged to simplify getting started to focus a bit more on projects with a single dir structure 15:21:44 #link https://github.com/ansible/ansible-documentation/pull/29 15:22:12 #link https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/getting_started/index.html 15:22:23 #info you can see the changes on devel now 15:23:07 #info there is also an ongoing discussion around adding EE docs to getting started 15:23:10 #link https://github.com/ansible/ansible-documentation/pull/18 15:24:30 #info I've been thinking about it some more and am going to propose that we create an ansible/ecosystem-documentation project where we can document tutorials and how tos for Ansible projects 15:24:56 #link pretty much just the details here: https://github.com/ansible/ansible-documentation/pull/18#discussion_r1250599233 15:26:26 #info I hope this would help us avoid repeating a similar mistake with ramming too much content into a single doc set 15:26:53 I guess we'll see when folks return from PTO 15:27:05 might be something to chat about here if anyone has thoughts? 15:30:07 if not, that's pretty much all I've got 15:30:12 #topic Open Floor 15:30:30 has anyone got something they'd like to raise for discussion or chat about? 15:31:15 I was thinking it would be quiet today, which is fine. better to keep the meeting going though. 15:34:06 ok, guess we'll do a short one and end it here. 15:34:15 #endmeeting
