At WP Tavern, Sarah Gooding reported on an appearance by WordPress contributor Samuel Otto Wood on the WPwatercooler podcast.\n\n\n\nWood says the decision to remove the data originated from a private Slack conversation amongst contributors that was started by WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg back in May.\n\n\n\nIt has also been revealed that the removal was not due to security or privacy issues, as previously indicated. According to Wood, the data chart was removed because “by and large, nobody was using them”. \n\n\n\nRegardless of the reasoning behind the decision or worthiness of the data, no official outreach appears to have been made by project leadership to the developer community.\n\n\n\nMeanwhile, WordPress community members continue to voice concerns via a Trac ticket started by RebelCode CEO Mark Zahra. The ticket was created on September 30 and has over 100 comments.\n\n\n\nLinks You Shouldn’t Miss\n\n\n\nThe first ever WordPress Documentation team Contributor Day took place on Tuesday, October 25.
