This post summarizes the latest Default Theme meeting (agenda, slack transcript).
Status update
We’ve made significant progress with patterns and templates this past week.
The work on Twenty Twenty-Five is happening in the GitHub repository.
- 36 open issues.
- 19 open pull requests.
In the Figma file you can see what is completed by looking for a green circle. Designs in progress have a yellow circle, and anything that is blocked or not planned at this time, is labeled with a red circle.
Priorities
- Finish the work for all the remaining block patterns.
- Work on the style variations. There’s an open issue to address these.
- Work on items that are set to
[Priority] High.
Once we finish adding the remaining 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. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. patterns and templates, we’ll start adding issues and instructions on how to proceed with i18n Internationalization, or the act of writing and preparing code to be fully translatable into other languages. Also see localization. Often written with a lowercase i so it is not confused with a lowercase L or the numeral 1. Often an acquired skill. (making strings translatable, etc.), indentation, and polishing the patterns/templates.
Open floor
@erichmond brought up that it is difficult to pick issues to work on, and that even if a contributor is assigned to an issue, there may be duplicate pull requests submitted.
The intention is to follow the assignment to the person who has shown interest in the issue first. A recommendation would be to see if there are pull requests open before starting to work on a given issue.
@luminuu Asked if it would be a good idea to test the theme during the WCUS contributor day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/. on Tuesday the 17th of September, and if anyone would be available online during the start of the contributor day.
It is difficult to predict what kind of issues that may be open in the repository on the 17th and if they are suitable to work on during a contributor day. A new label in the repository can help contributor day attendees to select issues to work on.
Thanks to @beafialho & @juanfra for reviewing the summary.
