Hi everyone! Here’s the fourth weekly roundup of theme-related discussions, fixes, and developments in Gutenberg. This one’s coming one day late — we were all busy watching the excellent WCEU talks on Friday! 🙌
One quick thing to note before we get to the tickets: If anyone would like to follow along with the Full Site Editing Outreach Experiment, feel free to join the #fse-outreach-experiment channel on slack.
Since conversations are ongoing, some of the issues & PRs mentioned were also present in previous weeks. We’ve tried to put brand new ones at the top of each of the bulleted lists.
