I like to think of core documentation in WordPress as the “developer experience” arm of the project. Core docs extend far beyond maintaining dated Codex pages and writing inline comments. In fact, even the way core code is written is a contributor to core documentation. And in all the ways we contribute docs, we need to ensure they stand the test of time.

This talk will take a stroll through the docs roadmap devised two summers ago and how that’s progressing. We’ll examine the diminished role the Codex will take going forward, as well as highlight some exciting initiatives coming into the fold — including the handbooks, code reference, and more.
