Meeting notes were not posted for the last two meetings. Not good. Some important decisions were made last week, so I consulted the chat logs and threw together https://make.wordpress.org/core/2014/11/03/dev-chat-summary-october-29th/.

Only one of the feature plugins in consideration for 4.1 is available in the 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 directory, Focus. The session manager plugin is available only via 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 be the repository owner. https://github.com/. Once you track it down and install it, updates are not available through the adminadmin (and super admin) and confusion ensues since the slug it uses is already taken by another plugin.

Biggest thing I’m working on this week for the 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.:

#27355: Customizer: Add framework for partial preview refreshes

This is a dependency for:

#29988: Twenty Fifteen: Use JSJS JavaScript, a web scripting language typically executed in the browser. Often used for advanced user interfaces and behaviors./postMessage to update the color scheme instead of triggering a page refresh

Thinking about feature pluginFeature Plugin A plugin that was created with the intention of eventually being proposed for inclusion in WordPress Core. See Features as Plugins. merge criteria. We’ve never reached the standard set by mp6. Feature plugins need to court testing audiences. Notions:

Feature plugins must…
- Be present and up-to-date in the 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 directory.
- Be as ready to go on mobile as they are on desktop.
- Have visual records for major flows through all new interfaces on all devices.
- Have mature UIUI User interface that isn’t going to derail the release train.
- Have a history of posting weekly updates to make/coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress..
- Have a history of regular plugin directory updates.
- Have a testing audience.
- Publish a merge consideration post on make/core complete with visual records and other diligence.
Even better, feature plugins must…
- Exist for at least one release cycle. Plugins created at the beginning of a release cycle should not be considered for merge until the next release.
More radical: Release betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions.

Plugins merge to core as they prove themselves in beta.

With Focus being a desktop feature and none of the make/flow bugs getting fixed, what mobile improvements do we have in 4.1?

  Patched two of those. Not sure if they need a refresh. Bug fixes can go in after betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process. though, features/enhancements can’t, so focussing on those first. 🙂

I’m also working on the 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.. We have several tickets that are awaiting commit, and I can follow up if anything comes up with them.

In addition to keeping an eye on the tickets Weston mentioned, my primary focus is #21483: Refactoring the Customizer’s media controls to leverage the media modal. There’s lots of awesomeness happening here in terms of both code and UIUI User interface/UXUX User experience, but it would all benefit from testing and feedback.

@ryan Customizer mobile improvements were slated for 4.1, but have been punted because there wasn’t enough time to devote to it, and the initial approach ended up being more applicable to larger-screen users. We could use more contributors in this area. #28784
