Design Show & Tell notes 29 July 2020

We had a Show & Tell last evening, unfortunately a human vs tech error prevented me from saving the recording. Here is a summary of the call.

Edit Site: Creating a new template from scratch

@michael-arestad has been working on a new flow to create a template from scratch. There are several iterations and steps taken towards this workflow and this evening we focused on resizing template parts, primarily the middle column. You can follow the design iterations in Figma. If you would like to participate, please add your comments/proposals and ideas to the PR.

Shorter triage sessions during summer days

We discussed the fact that some coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress./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/ sessions have been lacking participation during summer days due to holidays. The team agreed to shorten them to 30 mins if there were not many people around. We are also going to be reaching out to those involved in tickets to help us with technical questions.

Accordion blocks

@mapk is working on an accordion block to include in core, he showed us a prototype and some styling options. There is a Figma file to review iterations. If you want to contribute, please leave your comments in the PR.

About page for 5.5

@estelaris is working on the design for the About page as part of release 5.5. Being this the first time, it has been a learning experience. Many of the frustrations are due to the limited framework we need to work with, although that shouldn’t prevent a designer to turn in a well-designed page. The team provided some feedback and questioned why the About page is not being built in Gutenberg yet. A thought for a future release.
