Our Three Big Ideas for 2022!

2022 is going to be a big year for WordPress as we get more and more people to use the new editor (and as a result make the editor even better)! We’re also going to be gearing up for a our 20th anniversary next year 😮 —I can’t believe this project has been around for so long!

For easy tracking, here are the big focuses for this year:

  1. Drive adoption of the new WordPress editor (though education, awareness, and better content for new WordPressers).
  2. Support open sourceOpen Source Open Source denotes software for which the original source code is made freely available and may be redistributed and modified. Open Source **must be** delivered via a licensing model, see GPL. alternatives for all site-building necessities (through supporting Openverse, our suite of directories, and the way we present ourselves to the world).
  3. Open Source stewardship (through maintenance of our community programs, leading by example, and other project as we find them).
  4. Bonus: Get ready for WP20!

Read more about these big ideas and more specific goals for each or, if you’re a team repTeam Rep A Team Rep is a person who represents the Make WordPress team to the rest of the project, make sure issues are raised and addressed as needed, and coordinates cross-team efforts., send me your thoughts on how your teams can join the effort!

Core Performance Team Update – September 30, 2022

Performance Lab

Performance Lab plugin updates are released monthly on the third Monday of the month.

September’s release, v.1.5.0, was a small one as the team was focused on WebP work (see below). The only addition was an improvement to the autoloaded options Site Health check.

Proposals and Discussion

Tickets

In addition to Performance Lab, the Performance Team also works on performance-related tickets in core and holds a monthly Bug Bash on the first Wednesday of every month; check https://make.wordpress.org/meetings/ for current time.

The Team merged several performance-related improvements for 6.1, including adding two new Site Health checks for Persistent Object Caching (#56040) and Audit Full Page Cache (#56041) from the Performance Lab pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.
