Misc Topics

Bottlenecks when publishing posts. Mentioned by @justlevine in SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/.. Proposed solutions:

  • Create a list of reviewers with publishing privileges so an author knows who to contact to move things forward once the post has been peer-reviewed.
  • Create a list of volunteer authors who can help with drafts. For example: GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. 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/ Release Manager could fulfil their responsibility by tagging those volunteers.
  • Create a GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ action from wordpress/gutenberg that triggers a Slack message to Core on Gutenberg release.
    • This solution can also automate a message about rc1 in Slack tagtag A directory in Subversion. WordPress uses tags to store a single snapshot of a version (3.6, 3.6.1, etc.), the common convention of tags in version control systems. (Not to be confused with post tags.) volunteers in #core-editor 

@jorbin replied that there might be consent issues and it’s also hard to predict who is active on a day in/day out basis. Starting from a message in #core or #core-editor for someone with publish permissions to review and publish could be enough.

To be discussed 🙂

First I’m willing to publish an article explaining the new ideas with the first revision of the revised diagram and it could serve as an attention call for anyone willing to make an opinion or add anything else before the final proposal.”
