WEBVTT NOTE This file was generated by Descript 00:00:02.740 --> 00:00:04.720 Coming up on your favorite five minutes of WordPress. 00:00:04.990 --> 00:00:07.990 The round up of roundups, how to skip the line when submitting plugins to 00:00:07.990 --> 00:00:12.550 wordpress.org and building plugins with AI, all that more on the WP minute. 00:00:29.543 --> 00:00:32.773 your favorite five minutes of WordPress starts now, Joseph A. 00:00:32.773 --> 00:00:33.473 Hayden chump OSI. 00:00:33.473 --> 00:00:33.803 C, 00:00:34.023 --> 00:00:37.613 Josepha: I'm about to start, pretty soon, my tenth year working with 00:00:37.613 --> 00:00:41.503 this project, and it has been an absolute honor to serve these past 00:00:41.513 --> 00:00:43.933 four years as your executive director. 00:00:43.983 --> 00:00:47.283 but Titus Ventura, Matt Mullenweg, and team hosted the state of the 00:00:47.283 --> 00:00:50.913 word 2023 in Madrid this week, delivering a familiar presentation. 00:00:50.913 --> 00:00:52.653 We've come to appreciate over the years. 00:00:53.283 --> 00:00:56.373 Ventura continues to take the role of WordPress product lead with his 00:00:56.373 --> 00:00:59.703 demonstration of what Gutenberg and site editing has achieved over the 00:00:59.703 --> 00:01:01.743 past year with a nod to the future. 00:01:01.743 --> 00:01:05.513 Matias: I want to touch a bit on the, how we conceive Gutenberg 00:01:05.513 --> 00:01:09.033 as an editor, because it's aiming to do two things extremely well. 00:01:09.383 --> 00:01:11.663 So it's a very challenging, design effort. 00:01:12.103 --> 00:01:16.641 one is as a writing environment, and the other one is as a design tool. 00:01:17.321 --> 00:01:20.991 We've been making a lot of progress on simplifying the writing experience. 00:01:21.321 --> 00:01:25.231 Even though this was technically part of phase one, we continue to 00:01:25.231 --> 00:01:26.861 add, writing flow improvements. 00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:29.550 One standout feature I'm looking forward to are the enhancements 00:01:29.550 --> 00:01:30.930 to custom field compatibility. 00:01:31.230 --> 00:01:33.480 As dynamic content within template editing. 00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:34.980 My biggest takeaway. 00:01:34.980 --> 00:01:36.060 However, was Matt mullenweg's. 00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:39.330 Legs announcement of the data liberation initiative. 00:01:39.330 --> 00:01:43.820 Matt: So, what I'm excited to announce for 2024, as a focus area 00:01:43.820 --> 00:01:47.360 that we will be doing in parallel to Phase 3 of Gutenberg, is what 00:01:47.360 --> 00:01:49.560 we're calling, uh, Data Liberation. 00:01:50.940 --> 00:01:54.580 So, if you notice a common thread in all of our projects, it's around 00:01:54.760 --> 00:01:58.050 everything we do with open source is around data ownership and freedom. 00:01:58.770 --> 00:02:01.420 In 2024, we want to unlock the web. 00:02:02.105 --> 00:02:04.845 Uh, through a dedicated focus on migration tools. 00:02:06.518 --> 00:02:09.518 Milan wake portrays the project as a signal to the open web. 00:02:09.818 --> 00:02:11.318 And ease of data portability. 00:02:11.918 --> 00:02:14.888 A tasteful slate of hand to see the increased adoption of 00:02:14.888 --> 00:02:17.798 WordPress from users, leaving closed platforms, in my opinion. 00:02:18.188 --> 00:02:21.368 Overall, I think it's a positive direction for the platform as someone 00:02:21.368 --> 00:02:25.568 that just had to home cook and migration workflow from just a simple open 00:02:25.568 --> 00:02:27.728 source ghost website to wordpress.com. 00:02:28.118 --> 00:02:30.248 I welcome new tools for this use case. 00:02:30.248 --> 00:02:33.938 One thing that took me by surprise plugin authors waiting in lines longer 00:02:33.938 --> 00:02:37.868 than TSA checkpoints during the holiday season could see their plugins reviewed 00:02:37.868 --> 00:02:40.418 on wordpress.org in 24 hours or less. 00:02:40.418 --> 00:02:44.018 If you're building something for the data liberation collection of tools. 00:02:44.135 --> 00:02:46.455 Matt: You might have noticed as well that there's a little bit of a 00:02:46.455 --> 00:02:48.545 backlog for registering new plugins. 00:02:48.545 --> 00:02:52.335 I believe right now we have a 79 day delay to add things to the directory. 00:02:52.565 --> 00:02:57.535 So we are also ensuring that for every new one of these projects If you apply 00:02:57.535 --> 00:03:01.415 to start one of these, it's going to be reviewed in about one business day. 00:03:02.655 --> 00:03:05.145 So these will be able to start almost immediately. 00:03:05.325 --> 00:03:07.845 A good opportunity for those of you wanting to get into plugin 00:03:07.875 --> 00:03:09.555 development and a lump of coal. 00:03:09.555 --> 00:03:11.145 For those of you standing in line still. 00:03:11.725 --> 00:03:12.985 If you're in listen only mode. 00:03:12.985 --> 00:03:16.285 Don't forget to
