+# Docs & Community SIG meeting - 2024-09-11
+
+**Facilitator:**  Shauna Gordon (@ShaunaGordon)
+**Notes taker:**  Shauna Gordon (@ShaunaGordon)
+
+(Agenda not created for this meeting.)
+
+## SIG Updates
+
+Shauna 
+- reviewed/closed a couple of PRs
+
+Jan
+- Created stabilization branch, now redirecting PRs to it
+
+JT 
+- Still ramping up in-person stuff
+
+### Open questions
+
+2025 Docs Goals:
+
+- Rearchitect site for easier content contribution (Shauna to spearhead work on this)
+    - Side effect - ability to translate docs 
+      - Note - set up fallbacks to English if a page isn't yet translated
+        - It's not uncommon for only some pages to be translated, for various reasons
+- Flesh out the Engine Developer Guide (community effort)
+  - Lots of parts needed to be able to build a useful foundation
+  - Most of the internals were built by Amazon people, who have sense moved to other things. Need to find new people with knowledge of parts.
+
+### Action items
+
+- Cherry-pick stabilization commits back to dev (Jan will do once #2589 is merged)
+- Add new version to picker on website (just get PR in for now), Shauna will do
+- Jan will be reviewing Robotec docs to add upstream
+- Reminder: PR freeze 9/24
+- Shauna to share release process notes from firehose meeting a few months back
+
+
+## Miscellaneous
+
+- JT called out that he gives feedback of i18n verbiage to help disambiguate some words/phrases with international audiences (and avoid some faux pas from international definitions)
+- International Technical and Business Language Dictionary
+  - reference to standardize language for things like documentation for international audiences
+  - expensive to purchase, but maybe some people in the community already have copies/access to it and can help with reviewing content?
+- Game engine evaluator
+  - role in game studios
+  - looks at docs as part of analysis and often contribute back to docs
+  - a big reason to work to keep docs up to date and have regular activity
