Hallway Hangout: 5.9 Go/No Go, Site Editor IA, and more

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

As a reminder, there’s one week left to share your questions about FSE.

Attendance:

Topics Covered:

We mainly focused on three items: the Go/No Go recap, the Site Editing IA concepts, and the Navigation Editor & Block work.

For the Go/No Go, we chatted about items we were excited for, including talking through @karmatosed wonderful patternspiration.com where she’s started to make art-like creations. This spurred the idea of a virtual museum of art made from blocks that yours truly just might try to make a reality.

From there, we moved on to walk through the various early design explorations for the Site Editing IA. This led to a lively discussion alongside walking through both the current experience and the various prototypes. We talked about the changes in colors between the different interfaces, how much friction to add/remove for various pieces, and which might make the most sense for 5.9. @fabiankaegy had some great feedback around including more than just the header and footer for the Separate exploration but in a view only manner similar to what currently is available with locking things in patterns.

Finally, we covered the latest on the Navigation Editor and Block work. @get_dave was kind enough to talk through where the project currently stands with focus shifting to the Navigation Block in order to then lay the foundation for the Navigation Editor. A key part of this work right now is “separating the navigation’s presentation from its data in order to make navigations reusable”. This will allow both for easier block theme switching while retaining menu data and for menus to be edited in a template part without creating a local copy. If folks have time, check out these two PRs to help move this important work forward: Save Navigation Block data to a wp_navigation post type and Try using a template part in the navigation block.
