Block Themes:

I would like to request everyone to learn block themes development and submit in org. With the use of Create Block theme plugin, it is super easy.

2. Twenty Twenty-Five theme development

New default theme Twenty Twenty-Five which is going to be included in WordPress 6.7 is under development. Theme development is lead by @poena and @juanfra.

If you are not sure how to get started contributing, you can read the information in the Github repo and try it. Otherwise, you can also join #core-themes channel and ask questions.

You can contribute by the following ways,

  • Testing PRs
  •  Finding Bugs/Issues
  •  Make Patterns or Templates, etc

You can go with the issues and read them and see if you can help. Or you can help by testing PR. (the easiest one to contribute).

@kafleg said that if anyone needs help, you can ping him.

3. Community themes development

To keep learning and making more block themes, we also have community themes initiative. You can also be a part of it and contribute. Themes developed from this will be submitted in WordPress.org and will be available for everyone.

Like TT5 theme, you can also contribute in the similar approach.

There was nothing to discuss in the open floor.
