Agenda for July 27th Support Meeting

Headlines / Community updates

This is where news that are relevant or good to know for the team from across the community are brought up and shared.

WordPress 6.3

At the time of writing, we are just 2 weeks away from the planned release date of WordPress 6.3.

The field guide has been published, are there items we should be extra aware of from a support perspective (or things you’ve tested and found that may not be obvious within the field guide)?

Extended capabilities for international moderators

The moderators on the international forums (the ones found on the base WordPress.org domain) have been given the ability to more actively deal with spam accounts, giving them the ability to now also block the accounts to prevent further spam. This is particularly handy when any of the administrators may not be available due to time zones, or other engagements.

To account for the larger pool of users now able to perform more elevated moderator actions, improved audit logging has also been implemented.

Checking in with international liaisons

This is the section where we reach out to the non-English speaking parts of our community, to see how they are doing, if there’s anything we can help each other with, or just interesting things going on that it would be nice to share with others.

There’s no requirements for previous participation or “fame” to share here, anyone is welcome, and we encourage newcomers to participate!
