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.

While the biggest chunk of Shiny Updates v2 was merged into WordPress 4.6, there were still plenty of ideas that didn’t make it in time. I think it would be worthwhile to bring more shininess to WordPress 4.8 or 4.9. Regular chats have been dormant for a while, but I’d like to continue them starting Wednesday, 19 October 2016, 17:00 UTC in the #feature-shinyupdates SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. channel.

Topics for the first chat will include a brief update on current shiny updates bugs in WordPress coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. and the planned goals for Shiny Updates v3 (e.g. update-core.php). Some of the ideas can be found on GitHub.

Now is a great time to get involved and help making WordPress updates even more shiny. Please come join us next week and contribute to the continuing abolishment of The Bleak Screen of Sadness™.

I won’t be able to make the chat but one thing that struck me again yesterday as a frustration (and not sure this actually falls under shiny updates) is why are we still not opening screenshot images for plugins in some type of light box modal vs forcing browsers to download the images. It’s not very convenient when one simply wants to view the image in larger form and I don’t think this would be that hard to pull off either.

  Are you referring to 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? If so, the images should open in a new tab right now. If the images is being downloaded, it has the wrong mime type associated with it and the developer should fix this in Subversion (at least that’s required right now).
  
  For adding a light box, I’d suggest requesting that in #metaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. or https://make.wordpress.org/meta/. The new plugin directory is currently in the works and I’m sure the team will happily consider it.
