Want to get involved?
Welcome! This all-volunteer team needs designers of various kinds. See our handbook and drop into #design once signed up for volunteer opportunities.
Our vision is to be the go-to resource for design for other teams across the WordPress open sourceOpen SourceOpen Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified.

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/: Tuesday 16:00 UTC
If you have a feature or proposal for the design and want to get a group of designers working on it, it’s time for a scope post. A scope post is useful as a central point to explain the problem, what is needed and gather volunteers.
State background and link in any tickets/issues or context. Ideally, you will already have a kickoff post if a feature, be sure to link to that.
What is the current status?
Ideally, you write a call just before design but sometimes things get written a little further on in the process.
State clearly what work has been done and what is to be done.
Get involved
How can someone get involved?
What specific tasks need help and what specific skills are you looking for?
Measuring: how is it going to be tested?
What time commitment will they need to make?
Be clear also about what they will be expected to do and where. For example, give feedback on GitHubGitHubGitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can 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/ or TracTracTrac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/., be present in a particular meeting.
