Mailboxes and outbound mail for FreeScout

As I’m starting to migrate inboxes, what would be your preferred way to have FreeScout connected with the @wordpress.org addresses?

The Gmail connection works for @wordcamp.org (and presumably @wordpressfoundation.org) addresses, I have meetup-support@wordcamp.org set up as a first test. Not sure if you prefer to have w.org addresses work the same or have them connected in a different way?

polyglots@wordpress.org and hosting@wordpress.org are no longer used and can be retired. I’m not planning to migrate those to FreeScout, unless they should be kept for historical reasons?

This was while committing wordpress/website/.config/capes.php to grant a WordCampWordCamp WordCamps are casual, locally-organized conferences covering everything related to WordPress.

Could you add dotorg.svn write access for raicem? Thanks!

With MC now being able…

With MC now being able to be sandboxed—thank you for setting that up—could you please add wporg-mc-dev to @4thhubbard‘s sandbox when you get a chance?

She’ll be working on getting education stats and efforts tied in there.

Write access to dotorg.svn

Requesting write access for myself to commit to dotorg.svn, as I’m working on the bbPressbbPress Free, open source software built on top of WordPress for easily creating forums on sites. https://bbpress.org ticket backlog, and a few hotfixes for the 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/ Forums have been necessary along the way.

(Konstantin was kind enough to help the past 2 times 💪 but I’d prefer to be more helpful broadly than burdensome to anyone.)

Thank you! #prio3

Please can I get access…

Please can I get access to the Google Analytics property for the Mercantile store? I’m overhauling the store and want to track orders and conversions properly.

As far as I can tell, the shared .org GTM container (GTM-P24PF4B) routes mercantile.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/ to GA4 property G-2R4NZ1XYDP, but I haven’t been able to find out who administers it. Recording purchases will also need a purchase event tag in that container, so access to the container (or someone who can add the tag) would help too.

Thanks!

Hi there, I require super…

Hi there, I require super admin access so I can work in the Sponsor invoices dashboard. I get a message “You ARE proxied, but do not have super-admin capabilities.”

This is for my daily tasks as part of Team Comet. I previously requested basic MC access in this request, fwiw. Thanks!

Installing npm v12 on the build server

Could npm 12 be installed on the 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/ build server? The latest release is 12.2.0. This follows the same pattern as Installing Node.js 24 on the build server.

npm 12 is a security release. Dependency install scripts, git dependencies and remote URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org dependencies all become opt-in, per RFC 54 and the breaking changes announcement.

Unlike previous majors, it will not arrive with a Node.js upgrade. The Node.js Release WG decided not to ship it on Node.js 22, 24 or 26, so it has to be installed explicitly, as Node.js itself was.

Requirements

npm 12 requires Node.js ^22.22.2 || ^24.15.0 || >=26.0.0, which the build server already satisfies.

While you are in there, it would be good to move Node.js 24.x to the latest release. It has been on 24.18.0 since June, several releases behind 24.21.0, the latest at the time of writing.

Installation

npm install --global npm@12

Verification

node --version   # expect v24.21.0 or newer
npm --version    # expect 12.2.0 or newer

Older branches

The remaining older release branches are being updated to Node.js 24.x in parallel, so this does not need to wait on them.

Readiness

The PRs to make the flip are ready:

  • 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/: #82732
  • wordpress-develop: #13536

Preparatory work: wordpress-develop#13505, Gutenberg#82235, Gutenberg#82775.

Tracked in Gutenberg#82328.

Read-only access to package release codebase

Please grant read-only access to the code that builds WordPress release packages for @lancewillett, @lucatume and @adrianmoldovanwp

Context: We’re looking for the path from a core.svn tag to the release ZIPs, including the partial-update and localized packages, and the build step from develop.svn to core.svn.

Purpose: to aid with security release process work. With read access we can build a private rehearsal of certain build and package steps, including automated checks for each package to match the tag it was built from.

(For now, we don’t need write or deployDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors. rights.)

Using headless browsers to access WordPress Core Trac

With the implementation of the JavaScript block to access https://core.trac.wordpress.org/, it is no longer possible for grunt patch wordpress to access tracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. and pull in patches for contributors. In response, a suggestion has been made to use a headless version of chrome to bypass this.

Is systems ok with this being shipped as a part of the developer workflow for coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. or are there objections to an official project circumventing them?
