In this week’s DevChat, @jeffpaul asked:

One thing I’ve become curious about is how some components should potentially be looking to support current/future phases of 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/? Thinking here about 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., Widgets, Menus, and the like. Is there anyone on the Gutenberg team that’s working with those components to see how those maintainers/contributor teams could help advance Gutenberg development from their unique perspective from a coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress.

Some discussion ensued, but it’s an important topic that’s worth discussing in an asynchronous forum where people from all timezones can participate.

So: How do we ensure that there is good collaboration between Component Maintainers and the Gutenberg project?
