@mapk also shared a post by Riad on February priorities for Gutenberg.
@nrqsnchz shared design iterations the team has been doing on the block library with a Block Patterns focus. This UI will significantly change the Block Library interface. Feedback is welcome!
@estelaris shared an update on work for HelpHub pages. The team needs to find a way to organize the articles with the goal of creating better search. Check out the full Slack conversation if you’d like to help.
Valentine Bora shared a few items in Meta/Forums that need design approval. Checkout the full Slack conversation for context and helping out.

@karmatosed starts off asking for extra people to help run the triage meetings on monday, where we discuss open tickets and prioritize for the next release. Volunteers can speak up in the slack channel or via DM.
@mapk reports that Gutenberg 7.4 will be out soon, and it’s looking really good.
Next, @karmatosed asks for design feedback on the auto updates settings that’s new for 5.4. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/48850 Take a look at it and share your thoughts, this is an interesting new feature for WordPress.
@estelaris and @bph bring a design ticket for feedback. Helphup and Devhub don’t have a way for people to leave feedback on the documentation. This would add a comment form to those pages. @karmatosed advised simplifying the form and then iterating, and @michael-arestad had concerns about moderating, but the comments will not be shown publically clarified @bph.
Finally, @paaljoachim brings https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/16014 to our attention.

Full site editing is underway! Mockups are being explored and Information Architecture (IA) flows are being examined. Let’s take a look at the work.
Navigating through various pages, posts, templates, and template-parts can get overwhelming quickly. It’s tricky. Figuring out how to navigate through these flows and simplify it for the users is incredibly important.

While navigating through all the stuff, a user should be able to edit templates and template-parts intuitively.

There is a call for volunteers for the Get Involved table at WCAsia. If you are attending, it will be a great opportunity to give back.
@mapk is working on moving any design-related projects to the board on GitHub. If anyone wants to get involved and help shape the design of Gutenberg 5.4, there are several tasks that they can work on.
@kjellr invited the design members to attend the New Bi-Weekly Block-based themes meeting which will be a great opportunity for Design, Core and Theme teams to discuss the theme-related impact of full-design editing work in Gutenberg. Agendas and notes will be posted to the http://make.wordpress.org/themes
This was a short meeting due to #core and privacy meetings happening at the same time. We’ll be back again next week, in the meantime, please leave your comments.
