Video conference meeting using Jitsi at https://meet.jit.si/KohaDocumentationMeeting
- We are using an (open source) video conference platform for the discussion part of this meeting. You don't have to turn your camera on if you prefer not to be seen; but if you are able to use a mic it should make our conversations a lot easier!
- To join the meeting, click on the meeting link. If you are on a desktop computer, it will open in a browser window; no need to install anything. To join on a mobile device, you will need to download the Jitsi Meet app (from Google Play; from Apple Store).
- Browsers will ask for permission to use video and audio devices: check or review these settings if you have audio or video issues.

We will use the #koha IRC channel (IRC server irc.oftc.net) to record the meeting minutes, including #info and #action information. Feel free to login there too (if you don't have an IRC client you can use your web browser.)

Review of action points
- All to continue with the automated screenshots project (shared folder). It's ok to pick which lines you want to do; we need more "random" images done to validate the idea.
- Lucy and Aude to log a Documentation bug about expanding the Notices section and to start working on it.
- Aude to add to the agenda for the October meeting: reviewing / discussing what what should be in the Manual and what belongs to the Wiki. DONE
- Aude to get back to David Nind about bug 32391 - Reorganising the manual on behalf of the team. DONE
- Aude to raise bugs about the searching issues in the Manual (missing description in search results and not landing to the right place in the page when clicking on a link in the search results). DONE GitLab issue 34 and Bug 34947

Documentation workflow: issues and ideas
Note: we did not have time to cover this section in the meeting; it has been postponed to the next one.
- What belongs where: this is the question of what belongs in the Manual and what should go in the Wiki (Aude on behalf of others)
- We have had several questions about this recently. It would be good to not only clarify the Manual / Wiki situation but also review what we want the Manual to feature more of in the future (e.g. examples, use cases, workflows...)
- For previous work on this, see Documentation style guide and Documentation - Content Development Guide.
