Create new Documentation repo on WordPress GitHub organisation

[Kenshino]

Hello.

As the result of our discussions trying to bring all of our different projects under one "doorway" so to say, we decided to adopt GitHub and use it for our issue tracking needs.

We'll start off with very vanilla GitHub issue tracker but might consider ZenHub or the soon to be further upgraded GitHub projects.

There's a decent possibility we will use it for it's versioning capabilities as well but that will be a later phase.

FOr those interested in details -> ​https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2021/08/02/summary-for-docs-team-meeting-july-27-2021/

I'm also aware that we have 2 other Documentation related repos but they serve their own purpose for now - while we might look at consolidating them in the future (again later phase, we don't have the bandwidth and would want to do away with the distraction for now)

Can we please get a repo called Documentation created under the WordPress Org team?

Please also add me as the team admin so that I can give others the appropriate repo access too.

Thank you so much.

Can we please get a repo called Documentation created under the WordPress Org team?

I'm unsure if WordPress/Documentation would be appropriate here, it feels like it'll be seen by some as "WordPress Documentation" and could possibly rank well for that search term.

As no documentation would be living there, maybe something less generic and more specific to the purpose would fit better? Something like WordPress/docs-team-triage or something?

[Kenshino]

Yeah that makes sense.

Could we do WordPress/Documentation-Issue-Tracker @dd32

Thanks!

@Kenshino Created ​https://github.com/WordPress/Documentation-Issue-Tracker

I've assigned the Team WordPress/documentation Maintain on the repo, please add members as needed to that team. ​https://github.com/orgs/WordPress/teams/documentation/members

Note: You'll probably need a GitHub owner to invite users to the team who do not have an existing role on the WordPress org, please ping #meta or post on this ticket.

Done.
You can also add/remove members from the team now too. Please note the previous note, 7 of the users did not have an existing role, so I (or someone else) would've had to add them:

Hello @dd32 ,

Can we have this GitHub repo connected to #docs slack channel so that we get notification on new issues and changed statuses? Thank you

[dd32]

I've connected it using the /github flow:

​https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C02RP4WU5/p1630894125102400

GitHubAPP 12:08 PM
:white_check_mark: Subscribed to WordPress/Documentation-Issue-Tracker. This channel will receive notifications for
issues, pulls, commits, releases, deployments

Swing by #meta if you can't edit/update it yourself using /github (I'm not sure who can/can't do that)
