- I can’t be present at the chat because of timezones, but would like to bring up the “Key project updates” list in the agenda:

“Sometimes I get the problem when I try to use a pattern or block going from an older site to a new site. now I don’t know which version the pattern directory is running on. So, the next steps I would suggest, file an issue / bug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects.
