We used to exchange key project updates synchronously during the chat. However, many of the key Gutenberg 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/ projects sustain a regular cadence of updates on their tracking issues on Github GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

* Looking for a code sanity check on Site Editor server-side redirection PR.
* Currently working on Block Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor.
