The Community Conduct Project is kicking off, if this is of interest to you (think of a code of conduct, but for the whole community and not just for events), or you have opinions on the matter, please consider joining them for the discussions.
It’s been smooth sailing so far, no new recurring issues have been discovered that pose any issues.
The first support workshop will be held next week, if you do open source support it might be of interest to you! The first one will be theme related, but will apply to other areas as well so don’t feel limited by not having a theme to support!
The new site URL feature for support topics is getting some refined language to help users understand the use, and to promote better use of it, after some deliberations on how to word things, a good starting point was decided on and we can iterate on it if it becomes necessary.
A weekly crowd favorite, seeing how the other communities out there on the rosetta sites are doing, we’re always happy to hear how things fare in the big picture of things!
This weeks encouraging outlooks come to us from the Russian, Hindi, Brazilian and Portuguese communities, good to see you all!

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for everyone who replied to the proposal for the WordPress Community Conduct Project. We have recieved lots of great feedback and positivity towards the project both in person at WordCamp Europe and online.
We’re kicking off the project on the 5th September 2017 17:00 UTC on the WordPress Slack #community channel
Please see update post for more details..
We will spend some of the time during the meeting to discuss when the best time to meet will be for everyone who wants to participate in the project.
We look forward to seeing you all there!
The work for rewriting and reorganising the Handbook is in progress: @samikeijonen, @travel_girl and @rianrietveld are writing the first topics, @joedolson is reviewing them. We plan to write at least one topic per week. And the deadline for the first iteration of handbook is March 1, 2018. We enjoy the discussions on Slack: writing everything down makes us really think about what the best practices are.
We send the SelectWoo demo pages to the testers for assistive technology testing and hope to get feedback this week. The testers will add their findings to the Github issue Review SelectWoo accessibility.
Because the addition of Codemirror is planned for WP 4.9, we started the discussion with ticket #12423 again. On GitHub it’s available as a plugin, so we’ve opened an issue there with our concerns of a code highlighter as default text editor. It’s not accessible for screen reader users. The plugin is also installed on our test server at wpaccess.org/codemirror/ for user testing if needed.
We installed Gutenberg, from Git Master, on our test server and asked testers to test again, the first test we did was a few months ago and a lot has changed in the meantime. The results are collected and published by @karmatosed on GitHub, labeled feedback.
The next test should be a review of the output of all blocks on the frontend.
The design team are now posting individual updates each week, this post is a summary of the updates from there. If any other teams have design they need help with, please also let us know. You can either add as a comment to the post on make/design, add a comment here, or you can ask directly in #design on Slack.
@melchoyce pointed out several tickets that need help and progress – a chance for others to get involved.:
