# August 9th Support Team Meeting Summary

A big thanks to [@jcastaneda](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jcastaneda/) for leading
this one!

## WordPress 4.9.8

The new [Gutenberg](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/) callout is generating more
[Gutenberg reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gutenberg/reviews/) and
[Gutenberg support topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/gutenberg), and 
that’s a big win for everyone.

Please continue to test 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/](https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/)
and [report any bugs you find](https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues) after
[checking the known issues](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/known-compatibility-issues-common-questions-and-how-to-report-bugs/).

## Losing Track of No-Reply Topics

Many of us keep an eye on [the No-Reply Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/view/no-replies/),
but it’s important to note that any sort of reply can knock a topic out of that 
list, including when an OP replies to add more info, or a moderator replies about
moving the topic (or some other moderator action).

We don’t really have a great way to avoid that at this time, so it’s recommended
to also stop by [the Unresolved Topics view](https://wordpress.org/support/view/support-forum-no/)
from time to time.

## Checking in with international liaisons

We had representatives from the [Russian](http://ru.wordpress.org), [Italian](https://it.wordpress.org/),
[Swedish](https://sv.wordpress.org/), [Dutch](https://nl.wordpress.org/), and [German](https://de.wordpress.org/)
communities in attendance this week.
