PHP Meeting Recap – October 29th

This recap is a summary of our previous PHPPHP The web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 5.6.20 or higher meeting. It highlights the ideas and decisions which came up during that meeting, both as a means of documenting and to provide a quick overview for those who were unable to attend.

You can find this meeting’s chat log here.

Chat Summary

  • There was only very little presence/activity on October 29th.
  • Probably as a result of this, @nerrad asked whether it would make sense to “pause” the #core-php meetings until after WordPress 5.0 has been released. A lot of people have to focus on making their products/customer sites 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/-ready and cannot invest the same amount of time into working on Servehappy while this is going on.
  • @nerrad also hinted at the possibility that the current lack of testers for WSOD protection could be due to the same reasons.
  • While discussing what the blockers actually are and what parts of Servehappy could be considered “ready to go”, we agreed that it would be useful to post a “State of Servehappy” recap post. @schlessera will prepare a draft for this to discuss.

Next week’s meeting

  • Next meeting will take place on Monday, November 5th, 2018 at 15:00 UTC in #core-php.
  • Agenda: Open floor.
  • If you have suggestions about this but cannot make the meeting, please leave a comment on this post so that we can take them into account.
