CMS Release Team (Sigrid Gramlinger)

  • Motion for Release Leads for 4.4
  • Post Release Process was very useful and supportive for 4.2.7 release.

Release Managers (Harald, Niels, Olivier, SD, Roland, Franciska, Tobias, Llewellyn)

Release Lead 4.3 (Olivier Buisard, Shirielle “SD” Williams):

  • Joomla 4.3 Beta 1 Release today (7-Feb-2023)

Release Lead 4.2 (Roland Dalmulder, Franciska Perisa):

  • Joomla 4.2.7 is out, there was an issue with PHP 7.2 sites but this was handled adequately in the Post Release Channel.

Maintainer Framework (Niels Braczek):

Documentation Team (Carlos Rodriguez)

  • Docusaurus is going to be used for the new documentation, Harald is creating a repository for this purpose.
  • As the other active volunteers in the documentation do not fully agree about this change, I will lead this effort in the beginning.
  • Currently it is impossible to migrate 5k+ articles so it is proposed to only focus on the documentation of the current version, and leave the rest as historical archive.
  • The Help Screens has top priority in this migration so it is proposed to start from there.
  • The current URL is for now: docs-next.joomla.org
  • We need a solution to where we store the images that the documentation will use, so that a person who wants to contribute doesn't need to download all the images from the repository when they do git clone.
  • We still need to change the MediaWiki documentation when it is needed (until we have Docusaurus ready). For this I need to track the new requests of change to the documentation, and make the work done from there. To keep it simple, I propose when a PR is marked with the Documentation Needed tag, a new entry is created in a github project board (something to create) and from there I can track and make the work. As a plus maybe we can make when I mark the entry in the github board as done, the joomla-bot add a comment to the PR informing the documentation was added.</em< (but I not sure if this last part is possible)
