Please suggest agenda items for the February 12…

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.

If people want to write up their ideas for GSoC projects in advance, that would be great in terms of keeping things going. I’ll be submitting our GSoC application immediately following the dev chat, so if anyone has ideas but won’t be at the meeting, go ahead and post them at https://codex.wordpress.org/GSoC2014. Thanks!

How about a “Road Map” for upgrading the minimum requirements to PHPPHP The web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 5.6.20 or higher 5.4 and MySQLMySQL MySQL is a relational database management system. A database is a structured collection of data where content, configuration and other options are stored. https://www.mysql.com/. 5.5 (or any other version you choose). The purpose of the roadmap is to set a time frame, not choosing technology.

The roadmap should be spread over a long period of time (let’s say 2 years from now), enough time for web hosts to make the proper adjustments. WordPress has three major version per year, this means WordPress 4.4 will require the new minimum requirements.

The road map will not be a binding, meaning that if coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. developers will decide to upgrade the minimum requirements in wp4.6 or wp4.8 the road map can be changed. BUT, setting a time table is important, for pluginPlugin 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 developers, web hosts, and core developers. It allows everyone the get ready for the upcoming change.

  It’s been mentioned many times that we should not become “a protest piece at the expense of our users”, and this is specifically mentioned in regards to setting hard deadlines for bumping minimum server requirements. We cater to our users, not dictate what they need by abandoning millions of users at arbitrary points, especially if they still account for more than 10% of WP installations.
  
  We still haven’t dropped PHPPHP The web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 5.6.20 or higher 5.2 support, and given the rate of use shown in the stats, that still isn’t happening for another couple years. Dropping 5.3 is probably more than 5 or 6 years down the road, and isn’t even worth thinking about right now.
  
  When the time comes, you can be assured there will be plenty of notice, but it won’t even be necessary for most since it will only apply to less than 10% of users.

State of #27078 (Autoprefixer), #26669 (wp-admin.css split) and #26799 (Backbone update).

I’d like to discuss #316 if it’s not too big of a conversation.

Let’s talk about all the great things that are happening with the Image Editor and Media Modal. I’m seeing the following tickets which are all tangential to each other: #24409 (which is awesome), #26672, #24567, #18947, #26870 (thank the gods), #21811 (which has turned into a much bigger deal than I thought) and #21810 (which seems to be a refresh of #19889).

This all seems like “a thing”. @wonderboymusic, @gcorne and others seem to have things well in hand, but I’d like to see a little more sharing around all the great things that are going on, and where help / discussion / review is needed.

I’d love to find out if anyone else has comments on #27023 and if people think grunt-patchpatch A special text file that describes changes to code, by identifying the files and lines which are added, removed, and altered. It may also be referred to as a diff. A patch can be applied to a codebase for testing. is ready for me to tagtag A directory in Subversion. WordPress uses tags to store a single snapshot of a version (3.6, 3.6.1, etc.), the common convention of tags in version control systems. (Not to be confused with post tags.) it in npm and for us to add it.

Agenda:
- CSSCSS Cascading Style Sheets./JSJS JavaScript, a web scripting language typically executed in the browser. Often used for advanced user interfaces and behaviors.: Autoprefixer #27078, wp-admin.css #26669, Backbone update #26799
- 3.9 status reports for teams/projects/tasks
- Widgets CustomizerCustomizer Tool built into WordPress core that hooks into most modern themes. You can use it to preview and modify many of your site’s appearance settings. merge: old style widgets + options APIAPI 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. issue (details in the meeting)
- Any other logjams or stuck situations we need to address
- GSoC brainstorming
We can hopefully get through all but the last point pretty quickly.
