New structure handbook
We agreed on the following new structure: Per topic short explanations, then links to good articles and examples. The resources do not need to be WordPress specific.
We’ll need some method for ensuring the currency and accuracy of resources listed, if we’re going to list specific resources. So probably restrict the resources to the most authoritative ones. And we need to check the resources regularly.
Order of things:
- make a list of topics
- add an intro per topic
- add resources to it
@samikeijonen and @rianrietveld will start with a spreadsheet gathering the topics, everyone can add possible resources to that later, so we can see what we can use for the handbook.
Test Gutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/
Now Gutenberg is available as plugin we want to install it on our test server and give it to the test team this week. With a clear description on what it does and a link to the issues already reported on GitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/.

Adjustments Accessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers).

@joedolson is working on a new draft, work in progress.
New Settings API An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways.
The plugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party Settings API enhanced is now an almost complete prototype, but still needs refinements and design. It’s a prototype though, many things could change. We would like feedback from more people before moving on.
And what else happend
