Make WordPress.org

Welcome to the MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. Team!

The Meta team is responsible for maintaining and managing WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ websites. Our work is mostly done on the meta trac. If you see a bug, file a ticket!

We’re currently working on these fine projects, with more in store.

Block Patterns were introduced in WordPress coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. in version 5.5 (May 2020) as a way to register predefined blocks in themes and plugins. Once registered on a site, these blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. patterns can easily be inserted into the block editor and then configured by the content creator. Block Patterns help people to add complex block-based layouts to a site in a consistent way.

Question:

Could this feature, the ability to insert community-sourced block patterns into posts from inside the edit screen, help end users unlock the power of the block editor?

A Few Ideas:

The Block Pattern Directory could be similar to the Block Directory feature introduced in WordPress 5.5, except that no plugins would need to be installed.
Block Patterns could be submitted on WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/.
Users could search the Block Patterns directory from the Block Inserter.
Block Patterns from the directory could be displayed in a visual way.
A one-click installation of Block Patterns could be accessed from the block inserter.

Additional Questions:

How could the block patterns be represented in the search results?
What should the process and UXUX UX is an acronym for User Experience - the way the user uses the UI. Think ‘what they are doing’ and less about how they do it. for submitting patterns to a directory look like?
How could previews of Block Patterns account for the visual effect of themes?
How might a Block Pattern Directory accommodate localization?
Should the Block Pattern Directory be limited to patterns using only core blocks?

This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org//community

As per this post on the Community P2, we are going to be using learn.wordpress.org to host the workshops that will be made available to the community.

The Training team has been working on a new site design, which is on a demo server here: https://learnwp.jco.dev/ with the code available on GitHub. We have tacit confirmation from @chetan200891 to collaborate with the Training team on making this site a hub for WordPress learning – including the excellent lesson plans that they have been working on, and these new workshops along with planning for synchronous discussion groups around the content.

The next step here is to finish the work on the learn site (which already looks fantastic) so that it meets the requirements that we need. This includes:

A new CPT and taxonomyTaxonomy A taxonomy is a way to group things together. In WordPress, some common taxonomies are category, link, tag, or post format. https://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies#Default_Taxonomies. for workshops (I don’t think a full-featured LMS is necessary at this stage, but we may want to consider thsat for the future)
Frontend layouts for the new and existing CPTs
An additional call to action on the home page that directs people to the workshop content
A link to an external scheduling platform for discussion groups

Please discuss any further dev requirements in comments on this post.

I’m very excited about this platform and the collaboration between Community and Training on the work here!
