Design meeting summary January 18

TL;DR – We just had a really productive meeting where we touched on design needs, adding some structure to the work the design team is doing, as well as reporting on all the awesome stuff getting done. Interested in helping? There’s something here for you!

Below are the exciting things we covered in the meeting!

Calls for design

We’re looking for help, if you think you’re a match please reach out! If you have a call for design yourself you can add it as a comment on this post or join the weekly #design meeting and we can discuss after covering other items.

Design a featured image – A new blog post is will spread the word about make.wordpress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ to encourage folks jumping in and helping. The marketing needs someone to design a featured imageFeatured image A featured image is the main image used on your blog archive page and is pulled when the post or page is shared on social media. The image can be used to display in widget areas on your site or in a summary list of posts. for the blog post.
Design interface for plugin/theme compatibility with Gutenberg in WordPress admin – Now that 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/ is getting closer we need a way to reflect in the WordPress admin whether a 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 or theme is compatible with Gutenberg. This is a perfect ticket for a designer who’s interested in supporting a few hours a week for the next month on UXUX UX is an acronym for User Experience - the way the user uses the UI. Think ‘what they are doing’ and less about how they do it. work related to sketching out ideas and figuring out how this would look.
PHP Servehappy project – Servehappy had been officially approved as a feature project for WordPress. We need a designer to work with the development team on what a page would look like talking about this project. In particular the design needs to present this linked content. The person doesn’t have to be technical as that could ensure the target market is reached correctly. However, it’s important that they are able to connect with the development team to bridge the gap of communication between what the team is building create and what users need.
Create a dashicon for WordPress Coding Standards. We need someone to create a new dashicon! That’s a ton of fun for the right person. You can more about dashicons here and here and here’s a tutorial on making one. If you’re interested this could be perfect for you.
Improve the content of the Grey Box™ on the Design page – It’s supposed to be a welcome to the team and sharing more about how to get started. Link to edit screen.
Plugin search – The team is working to identify what information will be good to use for filters and how to present that information. The plugin directory has been recently redesigned, so it will be important to take that into consideration (and not undo all that work) when helping the team add search filtering to the design.

If you’re interested in helping reach out to Tammie Lister or Mel Choyce and they can connect you. Or you can comment 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 on the specific request (make sure to checkmark “also send to #design” if you do, so that it doesn’t get missed: https://d.pr/i/ExTJ3o)

Structure of the design team

TrelloTrello Project management system using the concepts of boards and cards to organize tasks in a sane way. This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing. board – We’ve created a Trello board to handle any issues that aren’t in TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. or 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/. We had a great discussion about how the Trello board can be structured, how cards can be labeled, etc and ended on a good point for today. We’ll also discussed the need for folks to post to it. This board could ultimately replace the calls for design page on Make, with that page linking back to the Trello board.
We also have a Start Here card that will need some love. Then whatever happens here should get updated back into the design handbook.
It was also noted that it could be helpful for handbooks to start looking more like the Gutenberg one.

Monthly recaps

We’re going to start moving from weekly calls for design updates to instead posting a monthly summary based on the weekly #design meetings.@joshuawold and @boemedia will post the summary, and if a third person wants to help out we won’t say no! 🙂

Next steps

If you’re still reading this, and haven’t yet felt you can make a contribution to the design of WordPress, we can emphatically answer that you can! It might feel a bit overwhelming on where to start, the easiest way is to join the next #design meeting and look for an opportunity to give your support, or grab one of the calls for design issues above and jump in.

I would like to add that the Gutenberg landingpage and the Handbooks serve two different purposes, and have different requirements. A landingpage is geared toward marketing and promoting something. A Handbook is more about documentation which requires a deep level navigation, helpful jump links, etc.

So while the Gutenberg landingpage is beautiful, it’s not a documentation portal which our handbooks are more so. But any efforts to beautify the Handbooks is totally welcome! 🙂

  Great point, and a good distinction. Thanks for sharing!

  Agreed that the two sites don’t serve the same purpose, but the typeface, headerHeader The header of your site is typically the first thing people will experience. The masthead or header art located across the top of your page is part of the look and feel of your website. It can influence a visitor’s opinion about your content and you/ your organization’s brand. It may also look different on different screen sizes. sizes, and use of white space all make the 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/ landing page eminently more readable and scannable. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/
  
  Also, the left-hand nav and right-hand topics in the Handbook layout are confusing, and I would bet many people don’t realize that there are additional pages. https://make.wordpress.org/design/handbook/

  That is what I am waiting for. I hope that 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/ helps to create the content well. I build sometimes landing pages and would like to have the ability of a full site customization.
