This is what the make.wordpress.com/marketing team uses for example: https://trello.com/b/8UGHVBu8/wp-marketing.: We would like to ask for contributors who would like to review the pages that have already been written and to write any other missing pages. @ibdz, @chaion07, @estelaris & @hedgefield have already volunteered to work on this. If you are interested then please let us know in the #design channel over Slack.
  • Looking for a Figma maintainer: @ibdz volunteered to maintain the components in Figma and add any changes necessary from now on.
  • Adding Note-takers to the Team Page: In an effort to recognize the regular contributors better, the team decided to add the note-takers to the list on the Handbook. We have an open call for note-takers and triage facilitators. These are both great ways to get involved for new contributors but everyone is welcome to help out. Let us know if you are interested in the comments.

To get involve:
– Core Editor weekly Wednesdays @ 14:00 UTC in #core-editor focused on all-things 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/.
– Block-Based Themes meeting twice monthly on Wednesday @ 16:00 UTC in #themereview focused on preparing for Full Site Editing.

With the release of WP 5.7 also comes an end to this term of release leadRelease Lead The community member ultimately responsible for the Release.. @hedgefieldand was confused during this time as there wasn’t much documentation for guidance. He learned a lot from talking to previous leads – @estelaris and @karmatosed. With the learning of the process, he compiled a guide for the design Handbook.

During the 5.7 release, the design team ran joint meetings between the design and 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).

@chaion07 is continuing a conversation with @estelaris on the Triage Summary Format. Expect a p2 on as soon as the draft is ready. The tentative timeline for the p2 is 2 weeks from now.

Discussion

Timezone and Daylight Savings

@cbringmann posted in a p2 recently in the Update Blog mentioning the time changes: https://make.wordpress.org/updates/2021/02/09/2021-daylight-savings-time-planning/ 

The dates are:

  • March 14 – US/CA starts DST
  • March 29 – UK/EU starts DST
  • April 4 – AU ends DST

As for the DST time, last time the team decided to follow the UTC time and didn’t change the meeting time as it is very confusing for everyone.

@estelaris will make a post before the end of the week regarding DTS time, if anyone objects or has any other ideas, please add them there.

Open Floor

@estelaris mentioned PR #29709, although it has been closed now, she believes it is food for thought regarding the impact every small change to the block editor is making on users.

We’ve had quite a few new contributors also joining the channel with the help of the onboarding videos playlist created by the marketing team.

Discussion

@estelaris proposed to replace the # anchor with the link anchor, but it doesn’t look like a “link”. For reference, it is the last item on this post https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2021/02/01/requirements-for-a-new-design-for-the-article-pages-in-user-documentation/

@justinahinon is seeking feedback from the team on 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. editor handbook homepage https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/. Justin is working closely with @paaljoachim on improving the content of the handbook, and would like to take this opportunity to add some design changes as well. Specifically, now, on the homepage https://github.com/JustinyAhin/gutenberg/blob/gutenberg-hanbook-intro-page/docs/readme.md They would like to use cards for the headings like on Gatsby docs https://make.wordpress.org/core/files/2021/01/Screenshot_2021-01-20-Welcome-to-the-Gatsby-Way-of-Building-Gatsby.png 

One suggestion made by @kellychoffman was to identify which info and content we want to be displayed in cards. that might be easier to provide a re-usable design that could be easily applied and styled in the theme.

@estelaris also suggested it would be a good idea to have a wire-frame so that we can understand what content is going to be added where. Questions like, are you moving the menu from the left column? will a new menu be introduced? However, if nothing from the frame will change, then shouldn’t be any issues in modifying the style for the content. Additionally, identifying and justifying the use of cards, what is the purpose? we should remember that adding extra graphic elements to such small area with existing images, can be overwhelming.

@karmatosed inquired on who the audience is going to be, whether existing users or designers and are we looking to change it to become a reference there? Tammie agreed with Kelly and pointed focus would on the paths over the design as a starting point. Just having a more usable handbook in the same style can be a huge win for everyone.
