Only 8 people attended (including me), which was disappointing, but the group decided to focus on testing GutenbergGutenberg 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/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/)( using the [Gutenberg Test Site](https://gutenberg.eastbaywp.com) I set up), and reported several issues to GitHubGitHub 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 by the repository owner. [https://github.com/](https://github.com/), as well as having a lot of useful discussion about the Gutenberg rollout and how to introduce our clients to it. 23.

(They both had some experience of WordPress.) One person was excited about being able to add blocks to Gutenberg, and overall we all enjoyed the experience of using it, though people had various concerns of the sort that have already been raised regarding metaboxes, the transition period, and so forth. Everyone was glad we had done this and one person suggested doing a Contributor Day twice a year. 24. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ab5fa5deb26fe8a730d11dc716d440a67fb5c48c3b74f731c505b6748a58fd7d? s=32&d=mm&r=g) 25.
