Summary: Core UI team discussion

That all sounds really cool. I will openly admit I really want to contribute to the UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. team but had a hard time finding a way to and was a little daunted. I have contributed in other areas but found the UI team a bit harder to find a way in with. Having projects that can bring those of us new to the team into things would be great. I look forward to hopefully finding a way to get involved.

  Do you mind describing what you’ve tried or thought about trying so far? Just for data/things to think about as we constantly evaluate what we do.

    Sure, my first starting point was watching the blog and getting to know the blog posts. I found the discussion very lively which was really cool. I then started attending the dev chats and tried to get involved in the dashboard but every time I did something seemed to have been agreed outside of the chats or was already assigned as a task so it was hard to find a way in to contribute. I was made very welcome I’d like to make that clear and nothing I’m saying is against anyone, I just got lost from the welcome to the doing 🙂
    
    I have in a few cases responded to things in discussion threads though, so I have tried through that but would love to do a bit more than just comment.
    
    I do front end code and design so was open to either as a contribution. It totally may have been the time I tried to join in and that everything was already allocated by then, however it seemed that an extra hand wasn’t needed and everything was already tasked up.
    
    I am involved in the BuddyPress side of things and have a past in Open SourceOpen Source Open Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL. so aware of the ‘get stuck in’ nature of contributing and love it. I’m not usually a wall flower over things so found it odd how hard it felt trying to start.
    
    I really don’t mean that comment against anyone as know nothing is perfect and it’s as much down to me as it is anyone when contributing comes in. It was just hard to find a place to ‘get stuck in’ that wasn’t already occupied.
    
    I’d love to work out a way to get involved though as feel whilst I do give to a side project (BuddyPress), I want to give back to the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. project also. Maybe some clear areas / teams would help those of us circling around wanting to get involved but not seeing a way in beyond commenting? I know it’s never an easy solution and grateful that it’s being reviewed so hopefully more people (myself included) can step up to get involved.

      Thanks for responding 🙂 On the UIUI UI is an acronym for User Interface - the layout of the page the user interacts with. Think ‘how are they doing that’ and less about what they are doing. front, I’ll keep an eye out for you in UI chats (and make sure to pipe up, especially at the roll call part – we’re trying to get better about that so we know who’s around). Right now we tend to get bogged down in what’s needed specifically for the release as we approach RCRelease Candidate A beta version of software with the potential to be a final product, which is ready to release unless significant bugs emerge. and release stages, but even just getting used to regulars is helpful.
