Meeting Minutes: Sep 8, 2026
Meeting Minutes from Python Docs Editorial Board: Sep 8, 2026
Notes
- Mariatta just came back from PyCon Portugal. No new progress or updates since the last meeting.
- We should publish the meeting notes.
- We need to continue on PR #41.
- We talked about holding a docs triaging session during the Docs Community meeting. Everyone seems interested in the idea, but it didn’t happen at the September Docs meeting.
- We don’t know how to execute the idea yet.
- Ned made a PR to split the builtins from the stdlib docs. That PR involves Sphinx redirects, so Ned is figuring out how redirects work server side.
- Redirects: there are two techniques, sphinx-rediraffe (client-side redirects) or server-side redirects.
- These only work for whole-page redirects, not anchor-aware redirects.
- There is a Sphinx extension for anchor-aware redirects made by Stan, and he proposed adding that code to sphinx-rediraffe.
- Do we need to be ultra-disciplined about keeping old links working?
- We worked through PR #41, made changes, and merged it.
Action items
- Create an issue template for proposing projects.
