WordCamp US will take place on September 17th, 2024! In preparation for the day, we’d like you to share ideas of what contributors at 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 table can get involved with.

US 2024 – do we have any volunteers?

One will primarily support onboarding, while the other can share about the team and kick off contribution time.

Brainstorm

Below are some ideas to kick-start discussions. Feel free to comment on this post with your ideas, too!

Experienced Contributors

  • Keep logins to .org working well
  • Assist various team needs
  • Website Redesign collaboration

New Contributors – Developers

  • Collaborate with PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party Review and work on the Plugin Directory component Trac backlog
  • Configure local dev environments
  • Work through Meta-WordCamp issues

New Contributors – Non-Developers

  • Create a 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.-based theme close to team Make sites. “create an alternative block-based theme that’s similar to our existing make sites, do not worry about the actual functionality of them, we can move that out into separate plugins.” See Otto’s post.

The Theme Directory gets a refresh and is now powered by blocks

Over the past few weeks, 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 has been working on a new theme for the Theme Directory, which is now powered by blocks. This visual refresh is part of the continued effort to establish a consistent design language across 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/. The updated site launched today. Congratulations to everyone involved in this effort.

With this update, the site now uses a block child theme alongside the shared WordPress.org parent theme, setting the stage for future improvements. The primary changes involved converting everything to blocks and standardizing the layout, typography, and colors. Additionally, the theme previewer was updated to include style variations and patterns registered by the theme. This update builds on the launch of the Plugin and Pattern directories introduced in April.

Here’s a look at the new homepage, followed by a single theme page, the theme previewer, and the updated theme filters.

When navigating the new theme, you will notice a few minor functional changes. For example, the homepage no longer includes a “Load more themes” button. Pagination is used instead, which also improves accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities.

This is a result of rearchitecting the site using a 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 Core Development Team builds WordPress. WordPress blocks as possible, the Query block in this case. Previously, the Theme Directory was powered by a Backbone.js application, which was difficult to maintain and inconsistent with other directories on WordPress.org.

Next steps

The Theme Directory refresh is now live for WordPress.org and all foreign-language sites (Rosetta sites). Some translation work may need to be done for each locale, and that can be managed in the WordPress Theme Directory project.

It’s important to reiterate that this refresh was not a complete redesign. The aesthetic and architectural updates in this iteration purposefully did not alter how the Theme Directory works at a fundamental level. Future updates should build on this work and address the functional changes requested by the community.
