## General Updates

 * WordPress 6.2 [Development Cycle](https://make.wordpress.org/core/6-2/).

   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/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/)

## Task Coordination

[@andraganescu](https://profiles.wordpress.org/andraganescu/)

 * Laying out a possible foundation for better navigation editing as described by
   [Navigation List View: Introduce navigation editable tree view in the inspector controls](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/42257#top)
   and in doing so I’ve started with these building blocks that have been merged:
    - Introduce an experiment for [inspector-based navigation editing](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/45515).
    - Experimental [list view duplicates](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/45544)
      for use in navigation list view experiment.
    - Add a [list view to the navigation block](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/45546).
    - [Reposition the navigation selector](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/45555).
 *  - bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code
      optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature 
      freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the
      previous version) being the highest priority. fix [Disable distraction free preference effects on small viewports](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/45591)
    - [Converts paragraphs to headings with keyboard shortcuts](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/44681).

[@mamaduka](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mamaduka/)

 * Focused on [WP 6.1.1](https://wordpress.org/news/2022/11/wordpress-6-1-1-maintenance-release/)
   release.

## Open Floor

**Should we rethink how CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress.
The Core Development Team builds WordPress. Editor Chat works (again)?**
The attendance
and purpose of the chat seem to be both withering for the past six months or more.
Let’s spend some time to figure out what happens and what could we change to make
use of our time and participation in a relevant and impactful manner.
