There has been a lot of activity around Gutenberg project. Both in Slack and at GitHub. Here’s the meeting summary for this week’s editor team meeting (agenda here) in #core-editor Slack channel.
- UI Milestone: The current UI milestone is now being considered the v1, which also means that now we will put more effort into the fleshing out the technical prototypes following the UI baseline.
- Designers: There’s a section + sketch file to welcome designer ideas and contributions.
- Type switcher: Type switcher might need some careful thought. @shaunandrews has an interesting interaction design GIF for it.
- GitHub: Day to day work happens in GitHub’s repo, and this is also where new issues are added. Keep watch on it.
- UI & Interaction: I was concerned about the hover state of the blocks, that left side border thingie, but after discussion with @joen and others, we all agree with what @mark said: “UI should go away when you’re typing, in almost all circumstances.”
- Testing: The community user tests were great and welcomePrototype test by @sthapar and the ever-awesome video by @marcusfrontender, where they tested Gutenberg at a WordPress meetup in Stockholm was greatly appreciated.
If you are new to all this, I wrote a post to invite the WordPress community to contribute and improve the WordPress editor.
That’s about it, happy hacking!
