Meeting notes

- [`convert` and `preview` commands crash on certain Markdown pages · Issue #678 · apple/swift-docc · GitHub](https://github.com/apple/swift-docc/issues/678)
  - David: issue with source ranges in diagnostics
  - We should disable for now while we resolve the issues. Can still enable it manually for testing.

- [Set `DOCC_EXTRACT_EXTENSION_SYMBOLS=NO` in doc builds · Issue #2651 · SwiftPackageIndex/SwiftPackageIndex-Server · GitHub](https://github.com/SwiftPackageIndex/SwiftPackageIndex-Server/issues/2651)
  - David: Crash is very uncommon, leave enabled.
  - Sven: Regression from 5.9
  - Victoria: is there a way to query what packages aren’t able to build docs anymore?
  - Sven: We have a smoke testing suite.
  - David has a fix in 5.10: [[5.10] Use `extensionTo` and `declaredIn` relationships to add extensions to path hierarchy by d-ronnqvist · Pull Request #727 · apple/swift-docc · GitHub](https://github.com/apple/swift-docc/pull/727)

- Archive sizes: Sven to collect information about top packages so that we get more data to make an informed decision on disabling by default.
- Opened PR to show protocol info in synthesised symbol pages: [When documenting members of extensions to external protocols, display the external protocol's name by patshaughnessy · Pull Request #732 · apple/swift-docc · GitHub](https://github.com/apple/swift-docc/pull/732)
- Ethan: Have a few proposals, on docc init and overload symbols. Would be good for the group to review.
  - Sofia: Do feature flags go in DocC or DocC Render for the overloads support?
  - Ethan: DocC, Render JSON
