[07:30] <knome> jphilips, we're running wordpress, so yes, that's kind of a minimum requirement if you want to work with the internals... though we have many different codebases still
[07:30] <knome> jphilips, for what exactly are you shouting out in social media?
[07:31] <JackFrost> That thing that's supposed to track things!
[07:31] <knome> it can still do that, but it needs manual setup
[07:31] <knome> that's definitely non-wordpress php code
[08:45] <jphilips> knome: for potential contributors to join the team for the website
[08:46] <jphilips> knome: reminder to add 'the in the press' stuff i added to the document. added a few for 20.04 as well.
[08:46] <jphilips> here's the link again https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qenHqnop4DWne2DsX5nPgaN7xdJLzL6etb0gfBGL6fk/edit#heading=h.pwohkmbiulx1
[08:47] <knome> jphilips, ...to work on what? :)
[08:48] <jphilips> whatever the team needs. maybe a redesign
[08:49] <knome> i'm currently working on porting the design (not 1:1) to support gutenberg, which will allow for more flexibility in terms of page design
[08:49] <knome> so that's not really required atm
[08:51] <jphilips> so you dont need any help with the website presently?
[08:52] <knome> the team will eventually likely need a website lead, but to become a team leader, you will have to make sustained contributions to the project first
[08:53] <knome> the leadership positions are not filled in a whim, just because there isn't anybody to run a team
[08:53] <knome> i understand some contributors might be turned off by this, but the reasoning behind this is to keep a certain level of stability
[08:54] <knome> if we asked people to do, say, a redesign for us, i'm sure many people would say "yes, i will do it!"
[08:55] <knome> of which many would do some plans but not follow them through and expect the team to take maintain responsibility
[08:55] <knome> i mean, the team to execute their plans
[08:55] <knome> or simply disappear
[08:56] <knome> some more might follow through with the redesign, but not do it completely, leaving the team again with unfinished work and/or maintaining burden
[08:56] <jphilips> well in order for someone to eventually become a team lead, we have to get them to start doing sustained contributions
[08:57] <jphilips> for that we have to tell people that they can do some work with the team
[08:57] <knome> yes,
[08:58] <knome> but a website redesign isn't a realistic first task
[08:58] <knome> it's a lot of work and again, we don't only want somebody to do the redesign and leave the team with it, we'd highly prefer if we knew the person would be there to maintain stuff
[08:59] <jphilips> okay, was just giving the website design as a potential idea, i'll leave it to you to delegate the tasks when they arrive :D
[08:59] <jphilips> would any of those task require a knowledge of wordpress
[09:00] <knome> a good starting point for somebody who would like to be involved with the website, ultimately including a potential redesign, would be to start with tinkering with the content
[09:00] <knome> and do small updates on the layouts, looks
[09:00] <knome> this will be easier after the gutenberg rewrite
[09:00] <knome> knowledge in wordpress is highly recommended, but not a hard requirement
[09:01] <knome> knowledge with the wordpress internals (php level) would be even greater, but not a hard requirement either
[09:02] <knome> anyway, i have a work-related meeting, bbabl
[09:17] <jphilips> knome: i'm ready to start tinkering with the content to add in the changes we agreed upon in the various contribution pages
