The Best Practices team's inaugural remote sprint is happening on 27 November 2023. We'll meet on Slack for a day of general housework and working through our backlog.

This is a half-year report of the Best Practices Team. Read on to find out about our efforts so far, and think about how you can get involved.

I really didn’t know what to expect when I decided to go to my first code sprint at TYPO3 HQ. I had been to a few TYPO3 bar camps before so I knew a few faces and names, and I had already met Lina Wolf (the head of the Documentation Team) online when I attended a Documentation Team meeting.

On 20 and 21 April 2023, members of at least four open-source projects will meet at the TYPO3 office in Düsseldorf, Germany, to bring PHP-based reStructuredText parsing forward.

The TYPO3 documentation tools are constantly improved by the TYPO3 Documentation Team to support you, the reader, in getting comprehensive information and quickly finding answers to your questions, and to help you, the author, in creating documentation and to increase the visibility and popularity of your extension in the TYPO3 world.

Working intensively together in one place over a few days can be more effective than working alone. That’s why the TYPO3 community organizes sprints. Learn from experts and help a team get stuff done.

Martin Bless has decided to step down as Documentation Team leader but he will stay in the team and continue to support us. Lina Wolf will become the new Documentation Team leader.

It’s been a busy summer in the northern hemisphere and we’ve got plenty of updates to share.

Lina Wolf has recently stepped up as the team’s new Co-Lead. She joined the Documentation Team after the Developer Days in 2019, but her first meeting with TYPO3 started much earlier.

When integrators and editors start using any version of TYPO3, they need to be able to access documentation relevant to the version they are using. We believe that accurate, up-to-date documentation should be available at the start of the lifetime of an LTS version. That’s why we’re taking steps now to get ready for TYPO3 version 12 LTS.
