Johannes reported that plan is to finish Mockup ES6 migration, it’s almost done. Tests need to be fixed, need help. Open space for that today
    • Documentation - Sven - whole new setup for building docs is ready. New way for doing screenshots. Avoiding duplicate content with training docs, so can fetch bits from training.plone.org. Tests check against style guide. Missing docs for Plone 6. There are three different branches: classicUI, backend6, voltofrontend.
    • Any other things to report?
      • new community broadcasting team
      • Philip schedule open space to talk about todos for trainings (slot N)
  • Questions sent in
    • Has the Volto team looked at the performance score of Volto sites on web.dev?
      • Jens: catalog is sometimes slow, needs to be fixed so that queries aren’t as slow
      • Timo: fixing performance is possible with proper tweaking. For demo sites, no optimization was done. We can optimize those. More of a documentation issue than a core issue. Installers story can handle this. Can set up performance test in GitHub actions.
        Victor: Performance test does not take SSR into account.
