3. Test Team Discussions
Review the current handbook PRs before publishing
Add Team Organization page with active and emeritus member sections
The team discussed the progress of the handbook PR proposing a new Team Organization page, including sections for Active Members and Emeritus Members.
ozgursar
mentioned that maintaining an Active Members list could be difficult and may quickly become outdated.
juanmaguitar
agreed with this concern and noted that similar lists in other teams are often hard to maintain.
nikunj8866
suggested defining Active Members based on contributions over the last 2–3 months, including meeting participation, testing, and feedback. He also proposed reviewing the list periodically to keep it accurate.
Further discussion led to a preference for focusing on an Emeritus Members list instead.
ozgursar
suggested that having only an Emeritus list would be easier to maintain.
nikunj8866
added that past Team Reps could be included in the Emeritus list, recognizing their contributions.
The team agreed to continue the discussion in the PR comments to finalize the approach.
Archive old test report pages (testing-instructions, combined-report)
The team reviewed the PR aimed at archiving outdated test report pages such as testing instructions and combined reports.
ozgursar
noted that the Test Reports

should be referenced, as it was not clearly visible in the updated content.
juanmaguitar
clarified that the PR is focused on deprecating old content and keeping only essential references in the handbook, suggesting that additional improvements should be handled in separate issues.
nikunj8866
agreed with this approach and suggested creating a new issue to address the plugin reference. The team agreed that the PR is in good shape and ready for final review and merge after the meeting.
Add cross-links between setup guides and patch testing report page
The team discussed a PR focused on improving cross-linking between setup guides and patch testing report pages.
juanmaguitar
noted that there are currently no clear instructions or templates for test reports in

, only references to patch testing.
nikunj8866
pointed out that there is already an open issue to address this gap and suggested continuing the discussion there.
The team agreed that additional issues should be created to define proper guidance for test reports and improve documentation clarity.
Proposed new handbook pages
Create Test (or Test Team) in WordPress GitHub Teams
The team discussed a proposal to create a dedicated Test Team group within the WordPress
GitHub

organization.
juanmaguitar
explained that GitHub teams can help organize contributors, making it easier to tag specific groups for testing or triage.
ozgursar
compared it to a role-based grouping system.
nikunj8866
raised a question about whether other Make WordPress teams are using similar setups. During the discussion, it was noted that contributors need to be part of the WordPress GitHub organization to be added to such teams.
juanmaguitar
created an initial team but was unable to add members due to permission limitations. The team agreed to follow up in the
meta
channel to clarify how contributors can be added to the organization.
4. Open Floor
mosescursor
questioned whether frequent meetings might be contributing to lower attendance.
juanmaguitar
noted that weekly meetings are common across other Make WordPress teams.
nikunj8866
suggested returning to a more focused schedule by alternating meetings:
One week for patch testing scrubs
One week for Test Team chats
juanmaguitar
agreed with this approach, and the team supported the idea.
nikunj8866
created a GitHub issue

to continue the discussion and finalize the plan.
