## 1.0.0 planning

 * [As noted last week](https://make.wordpress.org/tide/2018/09/19/tide-chat-summary-september-18th/)(
   [and the week before](https://make.wordpress.org/tide/2018/09/05/tide-chat-summary-september-4th/)),
   the GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git
   repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers.
   Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription.
   GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in
   branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged by
   the repository owner. [https://github.com/](https://github.com/) repo is setup
   with **1.0.0** and **Future Release** release labels, will continue to work through
   the 1.0.0 items and  appreciate any additional contributions on those labeled
   issues

## Repo decommissioning + deleting

 * [As noted previously](https://make.wordpress.org/tide/2018/09/05/tide-chat-summary-september-4th/),
   we decommissioned several repos for the alpha version of Tide from WCUS 2017 
   and have opened issues noting that we’ll be actually deleting those repos shortly,
   namely:
    - https://github.com/wptide/api/issues/9
    - https://github.com/wptide/lighthouse-server/issues/3
    - https://github.com/wptide/sync-server/issues/17
    - https://github.com/wptide/audit-server/issues/26
    - https://github.com/wptide/tide-local/issues/14
 * Note that none of those repos are still relevant to the 1.0.0-betaBeta A pre-
   release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under
   real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are
   generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however,
   design changes often occur as part of the process. version of Tide and can cause
   confusion when people view those repos while trying to setup and run Tide locally
 * **Please call out any questions or concerns about fully deleting those repos 
   here or on the issues linked above**

## Setup + testing feedback

 * When testing the Tide local setup, use [this branch](https://github.com/wptide/wptide/pull/167)
   as it addresses the issue where the Lighthouse image was failing to build
 * Looking for feedback from anyone who has been able to attempt the setup and running
   of Tide locally
 * **For those who get the time to run through the local setup and can provide feedback(
   positive or negative), then we’d appreciate the contribution!**

## Next meeting

## WCEU recap

 * 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/](https://make.wordpress.org/)
   There are many teams that people can participate in, each with a different focus.
   [https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/](https://make.wordpress.org/support/handbook/getting-started/getting-started-at-a-contributor-day/)
   had WiFi issues for the first half of the afternoon so setting up Tide locally
   was a bit harder for folks than it should have been
 * Contributors mostly discussed what Tide is and the GCP setup and capacity over
   AWS
 * There we a couple PR’s that came out of Contributor Day
 * [@grapplerulrich](https://profiles.wordpress.org/grapplerulrich/) did a great
   job leading the team while [@valendesigns](https://profiles.wordpress.org/valendesigns/)
   had focus split getting the final GCP issues ironed out

## GCP migrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another. Most typically done when changing hosting companies. & .ORG integration

 * The migration to GCP is for the most part complete. Now that we’re in [v1.0.0-beta](https://make.wordpress.org/tide/2018/06/26/announcing-tide-1-0-0-beta/)
   we only have a couple of issues to fix.
 * There are [docs that need to be tested and updated](https://wptide.org/), a [duplicate audits issue](https://github.com/wptide/wptide/issues/139)
   where Firestore is not locking the message quick enough and other kubernetes 
   pods are running the same audits more than once (not on every item but enough
   to be an issue), and the [endpoint for .ORG](https://github.com/wptide/wptide/issues/91)
   that allows a push instead of pull architecture (this code is written but [@valendesigns](https://profiles.wordpress.org/valendesigns/)
   need to test and merge).
 * Seeing a lot more capacity over AWS, maybe 8-10 times more. We were doing at 
   peak around 1.3-1.8k an hour on AWS and on GCP we were doing 12-13.4k an hour.
 * When all of the issues mentioned above are sorted we will release v1.0.0 and 
   plan to do a few RCRelease Candidate A beta version of software with the potential
   to be a final product, which is ready to release unless significant bugs emerge.’
   s until they are addressed
 * [@jeffpaul](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jeffpaul/) to open issue for item 
   that @grappIerulrich found that [is not working](https://wptide.org/api/tide/v1/audit/wporg/plugin/hide-jetpack-promotions/),
   if anyone else runs into issues, please open issues in [GitHub](https://github.com/wptide/wptide/issues)

 * This was discussed some at WCEU, but the idea is to create a ruleset for auditing
   WordPress themes and another for WordPress plugins. The complete WPCSWordPress
   Community Support A public benefit corporation and a subsidiary of the WordPress
   Foundation, [established](https://wordpressfoundation.org/news/2016/introducing-wordpress-community-support-a-public-benefit-subsidiary/)
   in 2016. ruleset isn’t quite the best approach for plugins and themes individually,
   so we’re considering creating a ruleset specific to each.
 * [@grapplerulrich](https://profiles.wordpress.org/grapplerulrich/) looking to 
   run the subsets instead of the whole `WordPress` ruleset? These would be `WordPress-
   CoreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development
   Team builds WordPress.`, `WordPress-Docs` and `WordPress-Extra`. This would give
   us more fine tuned results and exclude `WordPress-VIP`. If we make the change
   now then we will have a few plugin version to be able to understand the trend.
 * We had a conversation with roughly 10 or so contributors on Saturday and the 
   work [@jrf](https://profiles.wordpress.org/jrf/) has done could be used as the
   base for targeting plugins/themes. It’s going to need a lot of discussion but
   some of the heavy technical lifting has already been done.
 * We’ll likely look to open upstream issues with WPCS to further the discussion
   on this topic, we’ll share those issue links here once they’re created.

## General announcements

 * In order to accommodate a wider audience, we’ll be moving the Tidechat one hour
   earlier starting next week, so we’ll now meet weekly at 20:00 UTC.

# 󠀁[Announcing Tide 1.0.0-beta](https://make.wordpress.org/tide/2018/06/26/announcing-tide-1-0-0-beta/)󠁿

At 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](https://central.wordcamp.org/about/). US last December
we introduced Tide.  Tide was our reaction to what we, and many other in the WordPress
community, believe is critical to the future of the Open Web.  A future where the
standard of code in WordPress is high and its users can be confident in its performance,
security, reliability, and accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened
to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for
people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct 
access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s
assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.
org/wiki/Accessibility).  Tide is a very practical solution to achieving this, ultimately
improving the quality of code across the web.  The WordCamp US announcement represented
the proof of concept stage for Tide and helped highlight ways in which updating 
WordPress plugins and themes based on WordPress Coding StandardsWordPress Coding
Standards The Accessibility, PHP, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, etc. coding standards as
published in the WordPress [Coding Standards Handbook](https://developer.wordpress.org/coding-standards/).
May also refer to [The collection of PHP_CodeSniffer rules](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/)(
sniffs) used to format and validate PHP code developed for WordPress according to
the PHP coding standards. could make the open web more performant, secure, reliable,
and accessible.  Since then, we’ve been spending time [reviewing feedback from WCUS](https://github.com/wptide/tide-issues),
[meeting weekly with the community](https://make.wordpress.org/tide/tag/summary/),
and enhancing Tide based on what we’ve learned.

Tide’s vision is inspired by the proverb “_A rising tide lifts all boats_”, when
we lower the barrier of entry to writing and choosing quality code for enough people,
it will lift the quality of code across the whole WordPress ecosystem.  Tide helps
to make it easier to improve the quality of code throughout the WordPress ecosystem
and help WordPress site owners make better choices about plugins and themes.

**As of today, we’re excited to announce Tide 1.0.0-betaBeta A pre-release of software
that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta
versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close
in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur
as part of the process., now available on [GitHub](https://github.com/wptide/wptide)
and at **[**wptide.org**](https://www.wptide.org/).  This version adds Google Cloud
Platform (“[GCP](https://cloud.google.com/)”) and local-only infrastructure support,
integrates Lighthouse performance analysis, and provides documentation for the entire
platform to help onboard contributors and developers looking to improve their own
code.  Please update any forked repositories or local instances of the previous 
version of Tide as it will be deprecated later this month.

## **GCP migrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another. Most typically done when changing hosting companies.**

The prototype version of Tide from WordCamp US was based on Amazon Web Services (“
[AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/)”), but with the release of Tide 1.0.0-beta we’ve 
migrated to GCP and have rewritten the Tide services in the [Go](https://golang.org/)
programming language.  This helps to provide a better integration point with WordPress.

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.

are more performant and cost effective.  This is the first step towards WordPress.
org integration.

You can find the code for Tide on GitHubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online
implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified
by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories 
require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’
where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed
before being merged by the repository owner. [https://github.com/](https://github.com/)
at [https://github.com/wptide/wptide](https://github.com/wptide/wptide).

## **Local-only option**

In order to minimize the needs for developers or contributors to setup GCP or AWS
infrastructure to use Tide, we’re providing a local-only option.  This way you can
run all the Tide services locally on your computer and not need to rely upon or 
pay for anything additional.  Note that for now we’ve only fully tested on MacOS,
so non-MacOS setup and usage will vary a bit until we can test across non-MacOS 
platforms and provide resolutions to any issues there.  In order to run Tide locally,
you’ll need [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/), [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/),
[Go](https://golang.org/doc/install), and [Glide](https://glide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#installing-glide);
additionally for Windows you’ll need [Make](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/make.htm)
installed based on our testing so far.  Full setup instructions are available in
the Tide documentation (see below).

## **Lighthouse integration**

Along with the [WordPress Coding Standards](https://github.com/WordPress-Coding-Standards/WordPress-Coding-Standards)
and [PHP Compatibility](https://github.com/wimg/PHPCompatibility) results for plugins
and themes in the Tide APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software
intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in 
limited, clearly defined ways., we’ve also added support for [Google’s Lighthouse](https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/)
auditing to include performance, accessibility, and other results for themes in 
the Tide API.

## **Documentation**

The prototype version of Tide from WordCamp US was built as a proof-of-concept and
had limited documentation; what did exist then was mainly within the README file
for setup instructions on AWS.  For 1.0.0-beta, we’ve significantly extended the
documentation to include installation instructions for GCP and the local-only option,
details on the various Tide services (API, Sync Server, PHPCSPHP Code Sniffer [PHP Code Sniffer,](https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer)
a popular tool for analyzing code quality. The [WordPress Coding Standards](https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress-Coding-Standards/)
rely on PHPCS. Server, Lighthouse Server), working examples of the Tide API, as 
well as how to contribute to better utilize and improve Tide.

The documentation site is available at [https://www.wptide.org](https://www.wptide.org)(
including a searchable demo of the Tide API search).  The source for the documentation
is available at [https://github.com/wptide/docs](https://github.com/wptide/docs).

## **Roadmap**

The next step on the [Tide roadmap](https://github.com/wptide/wptide/wiki/Roadmap)
is working with the WordPress.org systems team to integrate the PHPPHP PHP (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. [https://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php](https://www.php.net/manual/en/index.php)
Compatibility results from the Tide API into the WordPress.org repository database
so that it can be displayed on 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/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/)
or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party. and theme pages.  You can follow
along via the roadmap we’re establishing at [https://github.com/wptide/wptide/wiki/Roadmap](https://github.com/wptide/wptide/wiki/Roadmap).
Note that we’re using[ ZenHub](https://www.zenhub.com/) to manage Tide’s product
development process and that you may need to install the[ ZenHub Browser Extension](https://www.zenhub.com/extension)
to see all the details within the Tide roadmap.

This plan represents what will take Tide from concept to practical application for
the WordPress community.  If you have feedback for the WordPress.org integration,
then please comment in [GitHub](https://github.com/wptide/wptide#boards?releases=5b0321391a00905b6c50f25e&repos=107737502)
