These are the weekly notes for the design meeting that happens on Wednesdays. You can read the full transcript on our Slack channel and find the meeting’s agenda here. You can join the Slack channel by following the instructions in our handbook.
Housekeeping
We have an open call for note-takers and triage facilitators. These both are great ways to get involved for new contributors but everyone is welcome to help out. Let us know if you are interested in the comments.
Updates
Gutenberg contributors have gathered lots of feedback on the new Widgets screen. It is being aggregated into issues now, most of which will hopefully be resolved for WordPress 5.6.
Also lots of work is happening on theme/plugin auto-updates for 5.6, to really polish up the initial implementation. If you’d like to help out, drop by #core-auto-updates on Slack.
Main topic
@paaljoachim has started facilitating design feedback sessions in our #design channel on Slack. These will be informal, meaning the time and format can vary, and will likely happen in the morning for the EU timezones. That means we’re covering new times in which otherwise meetings don’t often get scheduled. It helps create more moments for focused design discussion The first session was run right before this meeting to great success. Stay tuned for more.
