Meeting Minutes: Feb 10, 2026
Meeting Minutes from Python Docs Editorial Board: Feb 10, 2026
Notes
- Discussed whether we should still act as the Editorial Board (EB)
- EB members’ bandwidth:
- Low bandwidth, personal travels, etc.
- Suggestion: take it back to the Steering Council — do we have a need for it now?
- The charter was to unblock what was blocked
- Not many things are blocked these days
- Example issue: on Discourse, a topic about whether we should underline links
- Often we didn’t need to come in to state that we are in the EB
- We could still exist but we are a light load
- We could do quarterly meetings and chat on Discord as needed
- If the point is to unblock — is the reason we haven’t been needed because there are no issues/conflicts?
- From the Docs WG meeting:
- Tooling (issue with links)
- Links within our docs
- Links from outside to our docs
- If we reorg our docs (splitting a page into different pages), existing links from external sources to our docs are now broken
- Petr is looking into fixing it
- Links from our docs to external docs
- The fact that we exist is a good thing.
- Things seem smooth right now.
- May want to look into the Free-threading group. They may have similar challenges with docs.
- There may not be clarity about the expectation of what should be documented. Example: the memory model isn’t documented.
- Should the time complexity be in the Python docs?
- Conclusion:
- Continue to exist
- Scale back expectations
- Continue the monthly cadence
- Review if any of us want to take a step back and open up the space for others to come in
