JSJS JavaScript, a web scripting language typically executed in the browser. Often used for advanced user interfaces and behaviors.

  • Items can still be suggested/added to the open rolling agenda here.
  • Whenever there is something requiring more attention, the suggestion is to schedule a dedicated meeting for interested parties to gather together in the #core-js 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 to have the discussion.

A reminder that the #core-js channel and office hour chats are intended to cover JavaScript across all of WordPress core, all JavaScript infrastructure, tools that build, lint, or test JavaScript code and higher-level discussions about coding styles, libraries used, etc. So has some distinction (even though there can be some overlap) from the kinds of discussions that happen within the #core-editor Slack instance which focuses predominately on the 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/ project and its implementation within WordPress.
