Our agenda this week focussed on getting a better understanding of the current product vision for working with media in Gutenberg in order to coordinate priorities and ensure future improvements to the media component align with the needs of the new editor experience.
The major takeaway from this conversation was that Gutenberg intends to handle the UI flows for editing media within post content inside the editor itself rather than relying on the wp.media.frame modal for these actions. The image gallery block in Gutenberg is a good example of this change.

By handling post-level setting in the editor, people can immediately preview changes in the editor. This change reduces the burden of the current media modal to act primarily as media library, and as a way to manage media information that applies site-wide. This should also make it more clear when changes will affect a media item site-wide, which is a nice UX win.
To prepare for this shift, we need to document the current flows that will need to be adjusted in order to support this separation between managing post-level data and site-wide media library data.
Additionally, the Gutenberg team asked for help creating blocks for additional media elements like video, audio, etc. The Gutenberg GitHub repo now contains a “media” label for collecting issues that relate to the media component.
Earlier this week, @desrosj ran a separate bug scrub focussed on new tickets on the Media component. We plan on running separate scrubs throughout the 4.9 release cycle. If you’re interested in helping with that effort, please contact @desrosj or @joemcgill on Slack.
