2. Update 4 letters for min prefix length

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 team decided for several reason to increase the Prefix All Globals to 4 characters. You can also join the discussion in the GitHub if you want to add any input.

Also, you can join the discussion for changing in WordPress coding standards. @davidperez said that it will be merged to 3.2.0.

To make the consistency in themes and plugins, we need to make the guidelines for 4 characters prefixing. Comment down below if you have any other thoughts. Personally, I think that it is good to have 4 letters prefixing. We can set the standard for the prefixing.

3. Twenty Twenty-Five theme development

During the meeting @poena shared the status of the theme development. She said, “the work has started on almost all patterns, and the leads are reviewing the pull requests as fast as we can”.
