Gutenberg + Themes Highlights
- Gutenberg 9.5 was released: https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/12/02/whats-new-in-gutenberg-2-december/
- The query block now has a grid view, enabling a lot of new possibilities: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/27067
Twenty Twenty-One (TT1) Blocks
Development for TT1 Blocks is on-going here: https://github.com/WordPress/theme-experiments/tree/master/twentytwentyone-blocks
- Recent development activity is focused around this issue: https://github.com/WordPress/theme-experiments/issues/82
- Much of the work has resulted upstream Gutenberg issue reports and fixes, which is excellent.
Open Floor
- emptytheme was merged to theme experiments. It’s a blank slate for building block-based themes. The repo also now comes with a script to generate your own boilerplate.
- A new block-based theme by @frank-klein was added to the themes directory: https://wordpress.org/themes/block-based-bosco/
- @poena + the theme review team are working on the steps needed to accept FSE themes into the themes directory.
- Currently, you have to submit a theme that passes theme check to create a trac ticket + add the theme to svn, then the moderators have to update it in the admin to allow the submission of a FSE theme.)
- Perhaps this can be a good opportunity to improve the trac + svn based submission process.
Thanks to everyone for joining! Please leave a comment if you have anything to add that is block-based theme related!
