The Five for the Future site gets a refresh

Over the past few weeks, MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress., Design, and Community team members have collaborated on a new theme for the Five for the Future site, now powered by blocks. This visual update is part of an ongoing effort to create a consistent design language across 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/. The refreshed site launched today, just in time for WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress. They're one of the places where the WordPress community comes together to teach one another what they’ve learned throughout the year and share the joy. Learn more. US 2024 in Portland, Oregon, next week. Congratulations to everyone involved!

This update introduces a 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.-based child theme alongside the shared WordPress.org parent theme, paving the way for future enhancements. The main changes include converting all content to blocks and standardizing the layout, typography, and colors. The homepage was also redesigned, and new contributor testimonials were added.

Here’s a look at the homepage, followed by the pledges directory, and the new testimonials page.

Next steps

This change marks the beginning of modernizing Five for the Future. Following this visual refresh, contributors will focus on adding new features and content, beginning with case studies of participating organizations and additional testimonials. Plans are also in motion for a Five for the Future blog and newsletter. 

Forthcoming updates will aim to improve organization profiles by listing activity, automating emails, enhancing onboarding, and adding options for sponsored contributors. The goal is to showcase the strength and impact of Five for the Future with a refreshed, feature-rich website.

We are looking for Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time. They are events where people get together to work on various areas of https://make.wordpress.org/ There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus. https://2017.us.wordcamp.org/contributor-day/ https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/. table co-leads for WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress.

US 2024 – do we have any volunteers?

One will primarily support onboarding, while the other can share about the team and kick off contribution time.

Brainstorm

Below are some ideas to kick-start discussions. Feel free to comment on this post with your ideas, too!

Experienced Contributors

  • Keep logins to .org working well
  • Assist various team needs
  • Website Redesign collaboration

New Contributors – Developers

  • Collaborate with PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party Review and work on the Plugin Directory component Trac backlog
  • Configure local dev environments
  • Work through Meta-WordCamp issues

New Contributors – Non-Developers

  • Create a 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.-based theme close to team Make sites. “create an alternative block-based theme that’s similar to our existing make sites, do not worry about the actual functionality of them, we can move that out into separate plugins.” See Otto’s post.
