Open Floor

@webcommsat raised from experience of the last couple of releases and involvement in CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress., Marketing, Docs, and Training, a resource to help meetups devote a session to helping with User docs would be very useful and raise awareness about docs. More on this suggestion, what has been started in 6.4, and the fuller discussion in SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/.. (link to Slack discussion added)

The ideas included to get meetups and companies to sign-up to help earlier in the release cycle, show how fun it can be, and promote our contributor events.
