Global Design Changes

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/ is trying to sync it’s designs up across all the siites and assets. The design team will help sync HelpHub and DevHub’s designs to be compliant.

@ibdz is also picking up design tickets to work on.

Content Update

@leogermani has worked out the full list of hooksHooks In WordPress theme and development, hooks are functions that can be applied to an action or a Filter in WordPress. Actions are functions performed when a certain event occurs in WordPress. Filters allow you to modify certain functions. Arguments used to hook both filters and actions look the same. that require migrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another. Most typically done when changing hosting companies.. That list has been merged into the main DevHub migration document available here.

He has also gotten the top 100 hooks (traffic based) and suggested them to be candidates for immediate migration. He’ll work with @atachibana to sort things out and potentially post a Call for Collaborators.

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/ Documentation

@chrisvanpatten said that a Gutenberg Docs bug scrub will happen within the next 2 weeks.

The plans to peg the current released 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 docs to the current WordPress release is still an item that they want to fix but have limited resources. We would appreciate anyone wanting to help with this transition to raise their hand!
