6. Questions/Blockers

  • No Questions/Blockers reported in this meeting

7. Call for Testers/Visibility

  • WordPress 6.8 is already out. If you come across any issues, please report them on Core Trac or GitHub.
  • The GutenbergGutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. https://wordpress.org/gutenberg/ 20.7 is now available – https://wordpress.org/plugins/gutenberg/

8. Discussion

During the meeting, @sirlouen raised the issue of the Workflow Keywords, specifically around the keyword needs-testing-info, which has been causing confusion due to its similarity with needs-testing.
Two solutions were proposed, with the renaming of the keyword considered the most viable. Here, the objective is to enhance usability and maintain clarity in the keyword naming scheme. @joemcgill suggested the keyword needs-test-info, as it aligns better with the current format of existing workflow keywords.

A quick poll was conducted during the meeting, and the majority voted for the following naming convention:

  • needs-test-info
  • has-test-info

These changes will align testing-related keywords with the overall naming scheme used in the project.

@krupajnanda asked whether the coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. team would support implementing these changes once the updated keywords and their intended usage are shared. @joemcgill confirmed his willingness to assist with this.

@sirlouen mentioned that once @muddassirnasim completes the meeting notes, he will forward the information to @dd32 for inclusion in the official TracTrac Trac is the place where contributors create issues for bugs or feature requests much like GitHub.https://core.trac.wordpress.org/. documentation.

@Muddassir Nasim reported successful testing using the 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.

Terminal (Bash) in Mac, Command Prompt in Windows, or WP-CLI for WordPress..

  • @Krupa Nanda suggested testing via WP-CLI and directed Muddassir to @Makarand Mane for further guidance.
  • @Makarand Mane reaffirmed his availability to support WP-CLI testing and offered assistance proactively.
  • @Manuel Camargo sought clarification on the scope of Nasim’s interest, distinguishing between WP-CLI specific testing and coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. testing.

@Olga Gleckler encouraged to test the site with real and data, if you have this opportunity. So, if you can test on a staging site close to what you have on production (not on production, of course). Becasue some things can only happen in certain circumstances and conditions.
