@estelaris started gathering requirements from notes and GithubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

She has some questions about the use of the anchor tag on the title: does it need to be visible? @melchoyce and @shaunandrews say yes, they use it to easily bookmark the url. According to Estela, the docs team is not aware of this use. A short discussion follows, and @itsjonq shows a great example of how this is used on Github. The people attending the meeting suggest proposing this as an alternative to the # that’s now used. If you have thoughts or idea’s on this, please leave them in the comments of this post.
The mobile view homepage for the helphub has issues, due to the large space that’s taken by the blue search section. There appears to be nothing else on the page. @mapk proposes to look at this site-wide, as other pages have this issue too. We therefore need a broader solution for mobile display. According to Mel Choyce, every instance of the blue banner is a different code base. If you have thoughts on this, please leave your comments here or in the ticket for this issue.
@shaunandrews would love to see more chatter about the pattern of the full screen modal and its potential use. Read the Slack discussion on this topic and add your thoughts there or on the ticket.
