Block-based Meeting Notes — January 6

Gutenberg + Themes Highlights

  • Work on the “Archive Title” block is in progress. This (combined with the recent query block updates) will make archive pages very close to complete.
  • This PR would add a border radius control to the search block.

TT1 Blocks

Development for TT1 Blocks is on-going here: 
https://github.com/WordPress/theme-experiments/tree/master/tt1-blocks

  • The theme was recently renamed from “Twenty Twenty-One Blocks”, to avoid confusion with the original Twenty Twenty-One theme.
  • Progress in the repository’s project board is ongoing. There’s a growing list of blocker issues being migrated over to Gutenberg. @scruffian reiterated the prioritization of logging Gutenberg issues versus fixing them directly for now, so that the FSE team can get a clear view of all the outstanding tasks.
  • Progress on preparing the theme for its theme repository submission is happening in this issue.
  • There’s a related discussion around whether or not the theme should have additional code to fully support comments at this point.

Open Floor

  • @richtabor asked about the minimum Gutenberg version required for using TT1 Blocks. @kjellr want sure of the minimum required version, but suggested that since FSE is still under heavy development, anything other than the latest version might have breaking changes.
  • @richtabor asked if TT1 Blocks will work without the Gutenberg plugin. Once FSE functionality is merged into core it will, but for now block based themes all require the plugin.
