This is a summary of a Hallway Hangout that was wrangled in the #fse-outreach-experiment channel as part of the FSE Outreach Program.

Notes/Links:
When I was the only one in attendance, I decided to still record an update on both WordPress 6.4 and the FSE Outreach Program. To do so, I went through the Evolving the FSE Outreach Program post and went through various top 6.4 related items. Anything starred is not yet merged:
- Twenty Twenty-Four Theme.
- Manage fonts with the Font Library*.
- Add lightbox interactivity for your Images.
- Introducing new design tools (more block supports, background image for group block, aspect ratio on image placeholder, add block instance elements support for buttons and headings)
- Rename Group blocks for improved organization.
- See previews of your images and galleries in List View.
- Enjoy Command Palette refinements (new design, more commands, more contextual functionality).
- Introducing Block Hooks with a mechanism for more finetune control post beta 1.
- Writing flow improvements.
- Improvements to pattern management for classic themes*.
- Create your own pattern categories*.
- Introducing the table of contents block*.
- Rely on revisions for templates and template parts*.
From there, I went through the Roadmap to 6.4 post in more detail, explaining what isn’t going to make it and has been punted.
