Comment (by Ipstenu):
Okay. For the first point, the 'add your theme' link goes to
https://wordpress.org/themes/getting-started/ so
https://wordpress.org/plugins/getting-started/ would be fine as a URL for
parity.
As far as content, I like the first example, since then the link to
https://wordpress.org/plugins/upload/ would be the same as
https://wordpress.org/themes/upload/ (just with a text form) and again,
parity.
On the second...
> We shouldn't lose discoverability of plugin developer tools (e.g.
readme.txt example, readme validator) when removing the sidebar links and
redirecting the "Developers" link to the Plugin Developer handbook.
We don't even know what pages people are on when they click those links
(at a guess, they don't, given the number of people who have replied "What
guidelines?") so the landing page and the links off make/plugins are kind
of there NOW with the effort of RTFM *WHACK* RTFM!
Maybe under resources? A link to 'Developer Tools'? The problem is of
course that https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/ is not geared 100%
towards just plugins on .org.
WordPress.org Developer Tools? How to submit your plugin and not make me
cry?
I think https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org/ is the
right page for that information, but I'm not sure how to word it properly
for all things :/
BTW:
> The handbook only mentions the readme.txt example buried on this page
(there is also a broken or incomplete reference to it on the landing
page).
Fixed.
It's also on https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-org
/planning-your-plugin/
