Table, @wesrapyd and @zunaid321 led the discussions and hands-on work alongside a dedicated group of contributors. Here’s what we focused on:
WordPress 6.8 Hosting Team Recommendation Document – Reviewed and updated recommendations to help hosting providers prepare for the next WordPress release.
Onboarding New Contributors – Introduced newcomers to the Hosting Team, guiding them on how to contribute effectively.
Hosting Test Results Page – Explored ways to improve and add new features for better data insights.
Test Runner Enhancements – Worked on refining and expanding the Hosting Test Runner for more accurate testing.
New Ideas & Discussions
Presenting Hosting Test Results by Technology Stack @mtraian suggested an alternative way to present test results—not just by hosting provider, but also by technology stack. This would be especially useful for companies or governmental organizations that own their hosting infrastructure and want to ensure their setup is fully WordPress-compatible. This idea was well received, and we discussed potential ways to implement it in future updates.
Direct Hosting Provider & Customer Interactions A unique moment at the Hosting Table occurred when a customer of a hosting company joined to report an issue regarding their site migrationMigrationMoving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another. Most typically done when changing hosting companies.. Fortunately, a representative from that hosting company was also present, allowing the customer to communicate their concerns directly. The issue was well received, and the hosting rep committed to following up with the client for further resolution.This led to an exciting discussion about making the Hosting Table a space for customers of different hosting companies to report issues or provide feedback directly during Contributor DayContributor DayContributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time.
