The core team decided to hold a weekly meeting, focusing on answering questions from new contributors, helping with patches and tickets and going through the good-first-bugs tickets.

Takeaways from Paris
During the WordCamp Europe, the Accessibility team learned a few important things. So, for example, they do not have to try to do every a11y related ticket on their own but show how it should be resolved and let other devs do the patches.
More about this and the other learnings in the post »Takeaways from Paris« by Rian Rietveld.

Notes from the Community Summit 2017
Mika Epstein summarizes the topics of the plugin team on the community summit and contributor day in her post »2017 Community Summit Notes«. A few items from the list (partly quoted from the post):
- The team wants to open reviews to everyone with a .org account.
- »Determine the best way to track ‘dependancies’ […] so frameworks and add-on plugins can be clearly indicated and reduce errors«.
- »Design a ‘dashboard’ for people to check the status of their plugins (and themes)«.
More on that can be found in her post.
