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
Good things are happening over in Gutenberg land:
- An “Edit/Preview” toggle for the Legacy Widget block which can also be used in the HTML block.
- Improvements to the Pagination block.
- Iterations on the Query block.
- Consistency for block variation transforms.
The new TwentyTwentyOne theme is shaping up nicely too, amazing work being done there to get the AAA accessible theme ready for 5.6. You can already try it out via Github.
Discussion
A few weeks ago we wrote a post to bring new ideas for the way out team communicates and keeps up with each other.
The next step is to figure out exactly what and how. First idea that seems to have traction is getting an informal meeting going for people in Asian and Pacific timezones, as most meetings are skewed towards the European crowd. A post will go up about that soon. It was also suggested to make the design team more visible on the Learn WP platform.
We will explore more ideas next week, so join us then!
