Meeting summary

1. Action Item updates: (samccann, 15:06:11)
   1. open - Create tracking issue 'somewhere' to track all the collections that SHOULD consider using true/false boolean in examples (tho some may not want to for $REASONS) (samccann, 15:06:24)
   2. resolved - merged antsibull-docs update to docs requirements. Will need to schedule remaining requirements updates for later this Autumn (samccann, 15:07:15)
   3. resolved - collection owners fixed a few broken docs links in their Galaxy docsite links etc (samccann, 15:08:04)
   
   
2. Hacktoberfest (samccann, 15:14:37)
   1. we hope to participate in Hactoberfest by creating a batch of easy-fix issues to help us clean up the docs. See https://hacktoberfest.com/participation/ for what this is (samccann, 15:15:11)
   2. initial brainstorming ideas of what we could fix - https://hackmd.io/gNQ2TQW8T4ilcZc8JAM5fQ (samccann, 15:16:29)
   3. ACTION: samccann to ask community team if someone has rights to add hacktoberfest topic to all collections (esp new ones as this was done last year for existing collections) (samccann, 15:22:59)
   4. should also consider some repos won't want to participate in hacktoberfest as it does trigger some 'spam' PRs. (samccann, 15:23:49)
   
   
3. Documentation updates (samccann, 15:28:42)
   1. https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.hashi_vault/pull/299 (briantist, 15:30:18)

   4. IF we have more markup languages for docs in other projects, they must have a reasonable display on github (samccann, 15:34:04)
   5. any markup has to also display well on docs.ansible.com as a priority (samccann, 15:34:28)
   6. one option - we could recommend RST for ansible projects, but allow MD if it already exists, etc. (samccann, 15:44:11)
