I’ll be leading the group, with Scott Kingsley Clark as backup lead. We have a large group of interested contributors who joined us today, and are of course open to anyone else who is interested.

We started a collaborative document during the meeting, in which we’re gathering a list of existing post meta libraries/plugins/frameworks, and desired features for the new pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

This will provide a good basis for discussions on technical implementation. We’ve reached out to these developers, and already have a few RSVPs.

See you then!

Important thing to note, the document only contains ideas, we can’t cover every case, we’re not creating a new pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

It can’t be everything for everyone, but we should certainly get it to cover as much as is reasonable, considering usage of existing custom fieldCustom Field Custom Field, also referred to as post meta, is a feature in WordPress. It allows users to add additional information when writing a post, eg contributors’ names, auth. WordPress stores this information as metadata. Users can display this meta data by using template tags in their WordPress themes. plugins and the types of fields they include, and make it smart and hookable.

Is the question of “post-relationships” (including many-to-many relationship), as implemented in Scribu’s Posts-2-Posts pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress.? I don’t see it in the Google Doc yet.

There were tons of discussions around that in TracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress., e.g. #10657 (Time for a wp_post_relationships table?) and #10657 (Allow many-to-many relationship between posts and attachments).

  That may be a related topic, but relatively tangentially at this point in the project. There is mention of it in the Google Doc at this point. We’ll take stake of what’s in there in an upcoming meeting, refine our current scope, and how this may fit into that.

    Good to know. Apart from the P2P pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party, ACF also has an implementation of that, a “relationship” field type (but doesn’t allow for reciprocal connections).
    - Scott Kingsley Clark 5:51 pm on November 27, 2013
      
      There are many plugins that have relationship field types with different implementations, so there’s lots of knowledge to tap into from that.
  - Scott Kingsley Clark 5:53 pm on November 27, 2013
    
    I think this project can integrate with and work well for the relationships use-case, but it’s not required or should be included in the initial proposal, best kept separate and integrated with.
