Meeting Minutes from Python Docs Editorial Board: Sep 8, 2026

Attendees

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
