We’re a few weeks into 2015, but I wanted to take a moment to look back at the meta team in 2014.
Over the course of 2014, we worked on a number of projects:
- Trac improvements: A number of improvements to both trac and make/core landed, which make following tickets much easier.
- Devhub: Working with the docs team, we launched developer.wordpress.org.
- WordPress Meta Environment: Making it easy to contribute to the meta team was a priority and the WordPress Meta Environment shipped with just that in mind.
- Open Source: A number of sites were open sourced over the year, including the Rosetta theme, WordPress.tv plugins and theme, and more. (You can find all of our open sourced code here.) Additionally, developer.wordpress.org and apps.wordpress.org launched open source from the start.
- WordCamp.org: Lots of iteration on current features, many improvements around automation, and the WordCamp Payments plugin launched.
- SSL: WordPress.org now forces SSL across all of our sites.
- WordPress.org Profiles: Profiles got a design refresh, including badges for contributing to Make teams, and we’re now automatically pulling in more activity from Trac, WordPress.org posts and comments,WordCamp.org speakers and organizers, and theme and plugin repositories.
- Slack: Setup Slack and wrote many custom plugins and integrations with WordPress.org.
Lots of other tickets were fixed over the course of the year and work on a new theme directory began (open source from the start!).
As always, if you’re interested in getting involved with the meta team, find us on Slack in #meta or dive right into the meta trac, filing or fixing issues.
