Feedback wanted on the What to do with a lack of collection inclusion reviews community topic. The backlog of submitted collections is growing, the number of volunteers is not:) How can we fix the situation? See the topic for details.

https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull/pull/419 is what I've used to run sanity tests for every included collections, it could potentially live elsewhere too but once we have something like it we can run it on a regular basis which would be a great improvement over the nothing that we have

The Guidelines for VMware REST module development are now available in the collection documentation and can be removed from ansible. https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/78255
Sandra: Experimenting with redirects to force 2.3 docs traffic to /latest/ except for when the referrer is blank (aka abookmarked link) or when the referrer is docs.ansible.com (aka deliberately navigating to very old docs).
- The goal is to keep the docs available for those who really are using them, but get google to stop showing them as top search results when folks really need latest docs, not something 4+ years old.

Intro and Info

The weekly community meeting has moved from Wednesdays at 18:00 UTC to Wednesdays at 19:00 UTC so it stays at 2:00 p.m. EST / 8:00 p.m. CET now that DST / summer time is ending. The meeting location – #ansible-community on IRC and #community:ansible.com on Matrix – remains the same. As always, all interested community members are welcome!

We've merged the removal_from_ansible policy change. Collections with unresolved Collection Requirements violations are now subject to removal from the Ansible package.

How to mark private plugins in a collection #154

https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/154
https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/79218
https://github.com/ansible-community/antsibull-docs/pull/56
https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.sops/pull/98
There's some agreement that there should be a standardized way to mark content in a collection as private. If we proceed, the next steps are to decide whether to use the _ prefix approach or a metadata based approach, discuss this with core, and get the changes into ansible-core and antsibull-docs to hide private plugins from ansible-doc -l and the docsite.

Future of c.g and c.n and Process for orphaning/deprecating modules in community.general and community.network

https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/20
There is some agreement about identifying and removing dead/unmaintained/unsed plugins in community.general and community.network.
Ideas include: adding metadata about the maintenance state of plugins, announcing orphaned plugins in the changelog/bullhorn, maybe some sort of optional survey/script/callback plugin to collect data, warnings after time has passed, engaging the devtools team about data from ansible-lint or the vscode plugin
