As everyone has said, welcome to the Codex and WordPress Documentation Team.
Thanks.
Be sure and check out the guidelines for editing and working with the Codex under the Community Portal. These will help you figure out how it all works.
That was the first thing i did!
* Ensure EVERY page on the Codex has the proper Category at the bottom of each page. A page can be in more than one category, but we have to be REALLY specific about categorizing the documents.
Are there any category guidelines anywhere? I've looked, but i haven't found it.
I'm happy to spend as much time as i can going through the codex and categorizing articles. It will be a good way to get to know what's in there, anyway.
A document on Plugins should go in the Plugins category, but if it is really basic, it should also go in WordPress Lessons, but if complicated and very "developer" then it also needs a cross reference in the Developer category, right? It's a tough call sometimes but think about how the user will hunt for the information and sort accordingly.
For development type subjects, at least, i think the categories may need to be more fine grained than that if they're going to be really useful.
* Foreign Language articles - We need to put the articles in different languages into their own language specific categories. That will help get those articles into their own grouping, and help us get that information to the people who need it.
If non-English languages are going to be in their own categories, surely English language articles need to be categorized "English"? Maybe i've missed something, but that doesn't appear to be happening.
Check the categorization and language guidelines for how to categorized those.
Where are they? (Is it just me that can't find anything in this wiki?) Will _______________________________________________ wp-docs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-docs
