Plugin Dev FAQ

[Ipstenu]

Proposed new FAQ

​https://gist.github.com/Ipstenu/7e87ad21f1cc056da3c8

(If this was on Git, we could do pull requests...)

Where does the FAQ currently live? Had you considered including it as part of the Plugin Developer Handbook which is on GitHub: ​https://github.com/danielbachhuber/WP-Plugin-Developer-Handbook?

:)

[Ipstenu]

Lives here: ​http://wordpress.org/plugins/about/faq/

Always has :)

Can you post that here as an attachment instead of on github? If we're discussing it here, then I'd like the content to be here, so that we can see it even when Github goes down.

[Otto42]

Also, for those cases where you're proposing changes to the "static" content of the site, a diff of the HTML works just fine to post here too. Until we open-source-all-the-things, I can work with diffs on those mostly unchanging pages. :)

Attached.

I converted Mika's HTML file to a diff against the production file, and fixed a few minor typos/markup errors/etc.

[Otto42]

The patch works and is fine. Before this goes in, is this a good idea? That's the debate I want to see. Any disagreements with the specifics?

Replying to Otto42:

Is that question worth asking more broadly on the make/plugins P2?

Implemented.

The Developer FAQ has been changed to add a new "Questions about Submissions and Approval" section with six questions, as well as some various minor tweaks.

Would be nice when each section headline gets an ID. Currently some have one, some not.

[coffee2code]

Fixed.

All the heading tags should have an id now.
