Description

For WordPress 6.0, a GitHub project is being used to track dev notes and their progress. You can find the dev notes project view here - WP 6.0 Documentation (view)

Please share your notes here as comments or a link to a shared Google document. The WordPress 6.0 Documentation team (@zzap, @abhansnuk @aurooba and I, @bph) will be happy to assist in wording and scope.

If your note is ready to be posted on Make Blog and you have privileges, then go ahead and post it in draft, we can wrangle the reviews.

The dev notes should start latest with Beta 1, but you can certainly start now.
Deadline is before WP 6.0 RC (May 2nd, 2022) - You don't have to wait for the last minute to get it done, thought. 😘

⭐️ Handbook Page: Writing developer notes

Please leave a comment, also if you're unable to write a note for your PR or if you need assistance.

I'll start connecting with PR authors 1:1 to double-check availability, and see if I can unblock things.
