Welcome!

The WordPress coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. development team builds WordPress! Follow this site for general updates, status reports, and the occasional code debate. There’s lots of ways to contribute:

Found a bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority.? Create a ticket in the bug tracker.

Want to contribute? Get started quickly with tickets marked as good first bugs for new contributors or join a bug scrub. There’s more on the reports page, like patches needing testing, and on feature projects page.

Other questions? Here is a detailed handbook for contributors, complete with tutorials.

I’ve been clearing out the dark corners of TracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. over the last few days. I went through about 150 tickets, maybe 200, mostly in the Unassigned milestone, and closed about a third and triaged most others.

Current counts: Unassigned – 65. Next release: 462 (3.0 plus 2.9.x). The 3.1 milestone has 80. Future release has 737. Total open tickets are 1349, about 40 tickets less than we had at the start of the week. I think a nice goal would be to reduce ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. counts week after week.

Don’t be afraid to jump in and triagetriage The act of evaluating and sorting bug reports, in order to decide priority, severity, and other factors.. As I’ve mentioned before, I think it would make sense for 3.1 be kept relatively clear for now, and try to clear out and triage as much of the unassigned and future tickets as possible. A better sense of order would be good to have.

The work on the ideas forum has been very helpful. I think it can embolden us to push ideas without much traction there, just as we push support questions to the forums. That can keep many enhancements and feature requests from rotting in a future release as many do now.
