2) News
@azhiyadev and @courane01 did meet to test out blocks in the widgets and thankfully didn’t run into too many issues.
Our content on Learn around using widgets at the moment should be added to the July sprint to revise. We can use the revision tool to get the articles ready for the 5.8 version which is releasing on 20 July.
A custom plugin 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, #meta created for Learn and recently implemented by #docs. It restores the workflow we had with GitHub 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 be the repository owner. https://github.com/. We can save articles as a revision and have them approved/ready for the upcoming release.
Classic plugin is used to append to the articles, but all screenshots of the Appearance > Widgets interface and Customizer Tool built into WordPress core that hooks into most modern themes. You can use it to preview and modify many of your site’s appearance settings. > Widgets will need to be redone, along with some content.
Call for an audit of the existing lesson plan for the new WordPress release. Locating content to update based upon releases is an interesting thing.
@zzap and @courane01 will meet on Friday for a discovery session on how #docs audits all the help/devhub content to better identify that info for a joint proposal across teams.
#marketing has been a huge help in asking questions about what we need and helping us draft a proposal as a wider cross-team initiative.
For testing @annezazu published this one recently: https://make.wordpress.org/test/2021/06/24/call-for-testing-thrive-with-theme-json/.
And the next office hour on Friday will open for a Zoom meeting for testing as a team if others are interested. 10am UTC.
- This is an informal session, helps us get more familiar with what is coming, and identify what content we’d need to revise on Learn.
- If you’re interested in joining, check the channel Friday morning at that time.
@evarlese @harishanker and @angelasjin did a ride-along session this morning. They showed how they take workshop submissions through a vetting process and discussed all the organizing behind the scenes that happens. Several of the #training team folks were present. We will publish the replay of the session and links to the many resources as a post on the Training team P2 P2 or O2 is the term people use to refer to the Make WordPress blog. It can be found at https://make.wordpress.org/./blog.
3) June Sprint
For work that we already have in progress, we will be moving anything that is currently being worked on to July, which includes;
Following lesson plan have an owner,
@paaljoachim said that “Setting up a local WordPress Development Environment for Core Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. and Testing a Trac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. ticket” or a Github PR are both Lesson plans. He trashed both and submitted the workshop instead on which @azihyadev said anyone other will pick that lesson plan later to draft and will take reference from the workshop.
We have the following which are being worked on in collaboration, these will continue to stay on the list.
4) Stakeholders Meeting
We don’t have anything formal but we are working with a few of the other Make teams – hoping to formalise something in July.
5) July Sprint
We’re in discussions with @evarlese and @Hugh Lashbrooke regarding the next steps for July. If there is anything that you feel we should aim to tackle, please let us know. I’ll get the agenda for next week up early so that people can comment. We’ll then take the next meeting to go through it.
