Facilitator: Shauna Gordon (@ShaunaGordon) Notes taker: Shauna Gordon (@ShaunaGordon)

(Agenda not created for this meeting.)

SIG Updates

Shauna

• reviewed/closed a couple of PRs

Jan

• Created stabilization branch, now redirecting PRs to it

JT

• Still ramping up in-person stuff

Open questions

2025 Docs Goals:

• Rearchitect site for easier content contribution (Shauna to spearhead work on this)
  • Side effect - ability to translate docs
    • Note - set up fallbacks to English if a page isn't yet translated
    • It's not uncommon for only some pages to be translated, for various reasons
• Flesh out the Engine Developer Guide (community effort)
  • Lots of parts needed to be able to build a useful foundation
  • Most of the internals were built by Amazon people, who have sense moved to other things. Need to find new people with knowledge of parts.

Action items

• Cherry-pick stabilization commits back to dev (Jan will do once #2589 is merged)
• Add new version to picker on website (just get PR in for now), Shauna will do
• Jan will be reviewing Robotec docs to add upstream
• Reminder: PR freeze 9/24
• Shauna to share release process notes from firehose meeting a few months back

Miscellaneous

• JT called out that he gives feedback of i18n verbiage to help disambiguate some words/phrases with international audiences (and avoid some faux pas from international definitions)
• International Technical and Business Language Dictionary
  • reference to standardize language for things like documentation for international audiences
  • expensive to purchase, but maybe some people in the community already have copies/access to it and can help with reviewing content?
• Game engine evaluator
  • role in game studios
  • looks at docs as part of analysis and often contribute back to docs
  • a big reason to work to keep docs up to date and have regular activity
