Do you like devchat? I like devchat. This is the agenda for the weekly devchat meeting on Wednesday, January 16 2019 at 2100 UTC:

  • WordPress Leadership is expanding! @chanthaboune and @joostdevalk are excellent people, wonderful contributors for whom I have immense respect, and it’s exciting to see WordPress maturing as an organisation. 🙂
  • 5.1 updates:
    • There’s a new schedule update.
    • Call for triagetriage The act of evaluating and sorting bug reports, in order to decide priority, severity, and other factors.: there are two reports you can help work through: un-milestoned issues, and open bugs.
    • Dev notesdev note Each important change in WordPress Core is documented in a developers note, (usually called dev note). Good dev notes generally include a description of the change, the decision that led to this change, and a description of how developers are supposed to work with that change. Dev notes are published on Make/Core blog during the beta phase of WordPress release cycle. Publishing dev notes is particularly important when plugin/theme authors and WordPress developers need to be aware of those changes.In general, all dev notes are compiled into a Field Guide at the beginning of the release candidate phase. status report.
  • 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/ documentation update.
  • Updates from focus leads and component maintainers.
  • Open floor.
