We are a group of volunteers who review and approve themes submitted to be included in the official WordPress Theme directory.
We do license, security, and code quality reviews.
We help build and maintain default themes.
The primary focus of the team is to help theme authors transition to blockBlockBlock 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 themes.

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/
Gutenberg 9.9 is coming out on Friday! This includes new formatting rules for experimental-theme.jsonJSONJSON, or JavaScript Object Notation, is a minimal, readable format for structuring data. It is used primarily to transmit data between a server and web application, as an alternative to XML., so if you haven’t updated your block-based themes yet, please take a look at the docs.
@aristath is working on a cool PR that would improve front-end performance for FSEFSEShort for Full Site Editing, a project for the Gutenberg plugin and the editor where a full page layout is created using only blocks. themes: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/28358
At the moment, that’s only available in the version from the GitHubGitHubGitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.

@pbking asked – Are there plans to make dynamic blocks available to PHPPHPPHP (recursive acronym for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor) is a widely-used open source general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for web development and can be embedded into HTML. http://php.net/manual/en/intro-whatis.php. templates? Allow for the transition to start using some of them instead of calls to PHP functions without going all-in.
@kjellr replied with – There have been discussions about that sort of thing here and here. In general though, it seemed to me that folks were leaning more towards having a pretty limited set of PHP functions available. And then scaling up from there as needed, versus opening the door to all of the standard PHP functions available.
@aristath’s explorations here might be of interest:
