Updates on the site

We started implementing a suggestion we received over the last few months for two more content post types: Snippets and Videos. You can see a list of available snippets here. They are shorter posts and solve one particular task/problem. There is also a separate async meeting format for Snippet approval between the monthly meeting

Video CPT only has one post for now: the recording of Developer Hours: Improve your workflows with WordPress development tools. There is the hope that over the following months, we can start a design process to integrate those two additional custom post types more prominently on the developer blog.

Newly published posts since last meeting

Huge thank you to the writer and reviewers! 🎉👏

Project status

The project board for Developer Blog content is on 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.

New leadership

@bph “After two years of leading the WordPress Developer Blog, it’s time for me to step back and let others take the reins! I’ve enjoyed creating and managing processes, running meetings, and working with all of you. However, due to other commitments, I need to pass the torch.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone (or a few someones!) to take on a leadership role within the WordPress open-source project. Here are some of the responsibilities involved:

  • Facilitate monthly meetings (tentatively shifting to 15:00 UTC).
  • Manage the editorial calendar and content pipeline.
  • Onboard and support new contributors.
  • Guide reviewers and writers through the review process.
  • Oversee content publishing, ensuring quality and adherence to standards.

By taking on this role, you’ll gain valuable leadership experience, contribute to a vital resource for WordPress developers, and expand your networknetwork (versus site, blog) within the community.

I’ve already spoken with @marybaum, who is potentially interested in helping out. Announcement on the channel of January 10th, 2025:

I am happy to announce that @marybaum has agreed to take on the project WordPress Developer blog. She is a long-time WordPress contributor on the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. team and a brilliant editor. I am very grateful to see the project in such good hands. Please support her as enthusiastically as you supported me in the project.

But, ideally, we’d have a few people sharing the responsibilities. If you’re interested, please contact me on WPSlack by January 23rd or leave a comment on the summary post of this meeting with a brief explanation of your relevant experience and why you’d be a good fit. (edited) 

What’s new for developers Round up post

@greenshady

“In other news, I’d love to have someone (or multiple someones) to volunteer for the What’s new for developers? monthly roundup.

The goal was to always rotate this through various writers so that it would be written from different viewpoints. I’m writing the January 2025 edition, and I’m happy to onboard anyone for February 2025 and set up the doc (we have a reasonably standard formula for it at this point).  I won’t be able to write this for February for sure and possibly afterward for a couple of months at least.

Forthcoming releases

Next major releasemajor release A release, identified by the first two numbers (3.6), which is the focus of a full release cycle and feature development. WordPress uses decimaling count for major release versions, so 2.8, 2.9, 3.0, and 3.1 are sequential and comparable in scope.: 6.8

The WordPress 6.8 call for volunteers closed on Dec 6. There will be more information about the release squad to follow soon based on these volunteers.

The agenda post incorrectly identified the next release as 20.1 with a release date of January 15 due to a shift in the schedule for the holidays. Instead, Gutenberg 20.0 was released on January 9 and Gutenberg 20.1 is expected on January 22.

Discussion

To prepare for the release, anyone can volunteer to lead a bug scrub of the 6.8 milestone. Looking at tickets marked early would be a good place to start.

@jorbin suggested the PR for a reliable sync protocol for collaborative editing could use more eyes.

Discussion

There were two topics for discussion today

Consent APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. Proposal

@joemcgill noted that we’ve already gotten a lot of good feedback and asked @ironprogrammer how long we should leave the proposal open for comment.

@ironprogrammer:

“Given the coming holiday season, would it make sense to leave it open through the end of the year? The feedback has been really positive, but additional feedback from orgs/plugins working with consent would be valuable.”

@joemcgill:

If the consensus is that this should be a core feature, then ensuring the team who is going to shepherd this into a future release is properly supported would be key. Either way, I think there is value in considering the other question in the proposal—which is whether this should become a canonical pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party that is officially supported by the community. I think we can follow up with @4thhubbard about how we want to handle these kinds of requests as there really hasn’t been an established policy that I’m aware of.

@mikachan:

Through the end of the year sounds fine to me. We can make sure we follow-up (including in dev chats) towards the start of next year

WordPress and Typescript

@mikachan:

We adopted TypeScript in WordPress more than 3 years ago and our usage has evolved over time. It’s time to update our approach/guidelines. @youknowriad has opened a discussion to gather thoughts before publishing a P2P2 A free theme for WordPress, known for front-end posting, used by WordPress for development updates and project management. See our main development blog and other workgroup blogs..

Next steps are to continue collecting feedback and revisiting in a future Dev Chat, if needed.

Open Floor

  • @mamaduka asked for more eyes on #59425, which was recently reported in Gutenberg as well.
  • @jonsurrell shared this call for feedback on this PR for adding CSSCSS Cascading Style Sheets. selector-based 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.) navigation to HTMLHTML HyperText Markup Language. The semantic scripting language primarily used for outputting content in web browsers. and Tag Processors (#62653)
    • All feedback is welcome, but specifically, he’s looking for high-level feedback, especially from WordPress veterans. Does the implementation feel appropriate for WordPress? Are there things that are discouraged in Core?
  • @joemcgill raised the need to prepare for nominations for Core Team Reps for 2025 and suggested publishing a call for nominations in the next week with the hopes of collecting responses in Jan and being able to do a transition by Feb. @mikachan and @joemcgill will take responsibility for following up on this.

Props to @mikachan for reviewing.
