That means it’s crunch time. Here’s where the new Press This is. ## Feature Parity one of the requirements of coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. is general feature parity with the old version of Press This. Here’s a comparison chart of where the new Press This is. | Feature | Old | New | | Drag & drop install on desktop | Yes | Yes | | Editor, including: title, image/gallery addition | Yes | Yes | | TinyMCE buttons (minus kitchen sinkKitchen Sink When using the WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor in WordPress, you can expand the capabilities to allow more options. This expanded area is called the "Kitchen Sink.") | Yes | Mostly [1] | | Ability to publish or save as draft | Yes | Yes | | Post formats | Yes | Yes | | Categories | Yes | In Progress | | Tags | Yes | In Progress | | Content Scraping | Yes | Improved [2] | | Media Discovery | Yes | Improved [3] | | Alert before closing/navigating away | Yes | Todo | | Can add to bookmarks | Yes | Yes | | Responsive, clean design, updated icons | No | Yes | | Fast loading (speedy!) | No | Yes | | Mobile installation | No | Yes | [1] A number of TinyMCE buttons are removed intentionally.

With that in mind, [@DrewAPicture](https://profiles.wordpress.org/DrewAPicture/) has given us an extra week to accomplish this. Even still, we have a list of things that need to be done prior to devchat tomorrow, with the rest of the list done in a week. ### Before Tomorrow’s Devchat (February 11) * Post formats * PHPPHP The web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 7.4 or higher inline docsinline docs (phpdoc, docblock, xref) * Tags functional and live ([@Michael-Arestad](https://profiles.wordpress.org/Michael-Arestad/)) * Categories designed ([@Michael-Arestad](https://profiles.wordpress.org/Michael-Arestad/)) * Install flow designed * Plan of action for any design cleanup * [Initial accessibility concerns addressed](https://make.wordpress.org/accessibility/2015/02/09/press-this-accessibility-user-test-result/) ### Before Next Wednesday’s Devchat (February 18) * Categories functional and live * Install flow functional and live * Side navigation JSJS JavaScript, a web scripting language typically executed in the browser. Often used for advanced user interfaces and behaviors. improvements( functional) * Flows posted to make/flow comparing the old and new design ([@ryan](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ryan/)) * Another round of accessibilityAccessibility 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). ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) testing (when UI is finished) * All accessibility concerns addressed * Categories functional and live * JS inline docs * HTMLHTML HyperText Markup Language. The semantic scripting language primarily used for outputting content in web browsers. validation * Security audit * Usability testing reviewed and any issues addressed * Verify localization (including rtl) is functional * Browser testing on all browsers (support parity with old Press This plus mobile) * Unit tests? If we’re able to accomplish all of the above, we should be ready for merge on February 18. ## Daily Chats In this final rundown, let’s meet daily in #feature-pressthis at 17:00 UTC to make sure we’re on track for merge.
