• I just wanted to shout out all the great work happening here. Having this completed by 9/20 would be amazing: Addressing Design Tooling Consistency. But it is a lot of work and help is needed

@bernhard-reiter

• As mentioned here, I’m looking for volunteers to help with backporting PHP files for the 6.1. release. I’ve filed a GH issue here — if you’d like to help, please have a look at the it and add a comment and/or add your GH handle next to the relevant file(s)! This should be especially easy for the folks who contributed those changes to Gutenberg in the first place. And it’s a prerequisite for any of those features to make it into CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress.

• I am exploring running the entire WordPress, including the PHPPHP The web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 5.6.20 or higher files, in the browser using WebAssembly. It could power many interactive tutorials!
• I stabilized the new data hooksHooks In WordPress theme and development, hooks are functions that can be applied to an action or a Filter in WordPress. Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same.: useResourcePermissions, useEntityRecord, and useEntityRecords (has now been merged)
• With @gziolo, we’re working towards publishing TypeScript types with the data (useSelect(), useDispatch()) and the core-data (getEntityRecords()) packages. Autocompletion is hopefully coming soon!
