Looking to get early feedback on Writing flow: Try arrow press confirmation before switching blocks – a change that would bring much better keyboard accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) to all editors. Please add your thoughts. Positive or negative, I want to hear. If you think it should be done differently, happy to hear that too.

I just wanted to put it out there that if anybody deeply familiar with the data api wants to pair up and tackle a longstanding issue with how terms are getting assigned to posts in the editor I’d love to help / tackle that together.
See the following issue: taxonomy data in core store doesn’t get invalidated when new terms get added.
A draft PR has been created here: Fix refactor flat term selector to use data api for creating new terms It could use a look.

A question showed up in the 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/. channel from Sebastian.
Is there any way to filterFilter Filters are one of the two types of Hooks https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Hooks. They provide a way for functions to modify data of other functions. They are the counterpart to Actions. Unlike Actions, filters are meant to work in an isolated manner, and should never have side effects such as affecting global variables and output. blockBlock 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. attributes only on htmlHTML HyperText Markup Language. The semantic scripting language primarily used for outputting content in web browsers. comment saved attributes that is not documented yet? I hardly try to read and understand gutenberg source code as much as i can, but i couldn’t even figure out the place where the html comments get rendered.

Project updates

Navigation

@get_dave created a new overview issue for Navigation: WIP Navigation Overview: 6.3 Priorities

Fonts 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.

@hellofromtonya posted an update for the Fonts API:

  • The project board is now groomed, with card priority sorted in highest (top) to lowest (bottom).
  • The Roadmap’s Ongoing work section is updated and tasks are split into  Required for Core introduction and Future. The primary focus then is on completing the required for CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. items.
  • Goal: introducing the API in WP 6.3 

Native Mobile

@twstokes noted recently fixed or improved

Task Coordination

@annezazu mentioned:  “There’s a new, very simple “UX and Polish” board that some of us are trying to curate for some developers to dive into.Any issue on this board should be actionable by developers specifically, not add any new features, and not require additional design thought or help.” 

@mamaduka mentioned “I’ve been debugging flaky e2e tests and helping with reviews this week.”

Open Floor – extended edition

@proxxim posted on the agenda the following idea:

“The `templateLock` for feature `innerBlocks` might need more refinement” and provided the following use case:
“We want the client to be able to insert a maximum amount of two buttons in an innerBlock. The client should also be able to insert just one or zero buttons as well. The current implementation of templateLock does not offer a configuration option for such a use case.”

@aurooba commented: “This would be handy for a lot of different custom blocks I often also create where you need to maximum number of innerBlocks, rather than a specific amount.”, followed by another use case: a custom blockBlock 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. to feature posts from another custom post typeCustom Post Type WordPress can hold and display many different types of content. A single item of such a content is generally called a post, although post is also a specific post type. Custom Post Types gives your site the ability to have templated posts, to simplify the concept.. The design directive explicitly asked to not allow more than 6, less than 6 was okay. “If the templateLock featured had a max property, that would make it pretty simple.” she wrote.

Another use case: “Having a max (and even a minimum) is a pretty common pattern most folks coming from the world of ACF and similar plugins are used to. For example, the repeater field in ACF lets you define a minimum and maximum for its rows.” (also by @aurooba)

@fabiankaegy chimed in with an issue that’s already on the 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/ repo: Add ability to limit the number of items within an Inner Blocks area. @proxxim and @aurooba should join the discussion to give developer more scenarios to be sure a new API would cover the use cases.

Today’s meeting attendance was very low. It started with only two people. During the whole hour @andraganescu @fabiankaegy @bph and @opr18 discussed turning the editor chat into office hours.

There was an attempt to revamp the editor chat last year as well, see the proposal in the improvements to the Core Editor chat agenda and format, but they did not amount to much in terms of generating more interest and participation to this coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. chat.

In terms of turning it into a sort of office hours the Gutenberg Developer Hours series of events was mentioned as a potential starting point.

Status Updates

  • WordPress 6.2 is due to be released today (Update: as of this post it has now been released).
  • …the release squad decided to postpone yesterday’s scheduled release due to a bug that was sufficiently impactful that it needed to be fixed.
  • Gutenberg 15.4.0 is the latest release of the PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

Updates based on updated scope for site editing projects

Task Coordination

The following items were shared by folks to update us on what work is in progress or where help is needed:

@scruffian:

  • I’ve been focussing a lot on this PR (Refactor and stabilize selectors API) and the followup from it. The change there has quite far reaching consequences so it’s a good one to be aware of.
  • Update: this PR has now been merged.

@get_dave:

  • Working mostly on improving the fallback handling in the Nav blockBlock 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.. It’s not quite ready for review yet but it should improve the stability.
  • Also working on adding more e2e test coverage to the Nav block’s editable list view feature – I’m seeking feedback on that PR.
  • I’m also seeking opinions on whether folks are interested in being able to give custom labels to group blocks in the list view? If you are then please +1 on this comment.

@ajlende:

  • I’ve been continuing to work on things in Tracking: Duotone filters.
  • There were some regressions with the update to only render duotone filters on the page, and the selectors block.jsonJSON JSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a minimal, readable format for structuring data. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML. 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. has been stabilized, so I’m also working on updating the duotone block supports to use that new API.

@wildworks:

  • I’m wondering what specs should be reintroduced for the dynamic block anchor support that was reverted in WordPress 6.2.
  • I have come up with one approach, but if anyone has any other ideas, please comment.

Alignment of Reusable Blocks

Request for ideas on updating the Architecture section of the Block Editor docs

Concerns about AI in Gutenberg and WordPress

  • @chopinbach raised concerns about usage of AI within WordPress and Gutenberg.
  • @get_dave reflected that it was a valid concern but he was unaware of anywhere where AI or Deep Learning was currently in use within CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress..
  • @get_dave asked whether leadership had previously provided any direction on the usage of AI within the WP project. No one was able to think of anything.
  • As this is a very large topic, @get_dave advised creating a Discussion on Github to allowed this to be discussed in a more considered manner outside of a chat-based format.

Request for update on Design Tooling Consistency

Updating the CODEOWNERS files to be more useful

  • @wildworks submitted a discussion about updating the CODEOWNERS file. Can we make it more useful in allowing folks to access the best reviewer for their PR?
  • @get_dave wondered whether regularly contributors could take a moment to update the file as per their own preferences and current focus areas.
  • @get_dave also noted that becoming a CODEOWNER shoulld not mean that individual becomes solely responsible for a given area. The right to disconnect is important.
  • @fabiankaegy noted there is some fear around adding oneself to the CODEOWNERS file and suggested adding documentation to explain the purpose of the file to make it more open to changes.
  • @wildworks agreed to consider opening a PR to update the docs to include a section on CODEOWNERS.
  • After the chat ended @nerrad pointed out that CODEOWNERS:
    • must have write permissions to the repository
    • are automatically requested for reviews.
  • So even though the intent is not that they are “guardians” of that section of the code, to new contributors submitting code it can appear as though they are fulfilling that role.
  • @fabiankaegy, @nerrad and indeed everyone is encouraged to add their thoughts to the Discussion.
  • See the full discussion on Slack.

Thanks to everyone who attended what was a lively and interesting chat 👍🏽
