Here is the agenda for the meeting:

  1. Quick 10 second intros of everyone :stopwatch: Share what you’ve been working on :elephant:

  2. Discuss outstanding issues on main repo and assign them to interested contributors.

  3. Discuss reviewing and merging of curriculum PR’s in wake of new MDX parser
    (Create single source of instructions and notes for back-end Node challenges · Issue #39720 · freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp · GitHub).

I haven’t seen that email yet - did it just go out? Or did I miss it?

After doing a round of introduction and welcoming a couple of new (to the meeting, not fCC) contributors we discussed the following:

  • How Crowdin works. @ilenia demoed it to us, highlighting some of the cool features and how the UI is a little confusing. We discussed adding a guide.
  • The new chat client, how we might move over to it and the degree to which the bots might be migrated. @nhcarrigan pointed out that the api is different and that quite a lot of rewriting may be needed.
  • The mdx parser, what it’s for and why it’s needed before we can go ahead with translating the curriculum.
  • Contributing to open source in general and fCC in particular, including how to find something to work on. It’s clear we need to do better at making things available to new contributors.

Apologies if I missed anyone/anything.
