Project updates
- Project Thread: Learning Pathways on Learn WordPress
- Translation plugin for Learn
- @Jonathan shared the following update:
- The team would like to prioritize using GPL GPL is an acronym for GNU Public License. It is the standard license WordPress uses for Open Source licensing https://wordpress.org/about/license/. The GPL is a ‘copyleft’ license https://www.gnu.org/licenses/copyleft.en.html. This means that derivative work can only be distributed under the same license terms. This is in distinction to permissive free software licenses, of which the BSD license and the MIT License are widely used examples.-compliant plugins, so at the moment we’ve highlighted Polylang and TranslatePress as two possible options
- TranslatePress seems to be the better option between the two.
- Ben raised this question with members of the meta 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 who are working on the Learn redesign, who indicated we would need to first have a more public community conversation around it, as it would mean installing the plugin 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 on the .org infrastructure.
- Our next steps will be to hold that public discussion with Meta.
I want to say again that any team member can get involved and contribute to our projects and goals. If any of them interest you, please don’t hesitate to lend your expertise and thoughts.
Open Discussions
@flixos90 has come to the team with a topic for open discussion which I’ll summarize below
Members of the WordPress Performance Team have been working on an introduction to gathering WordPress performance data in the field. This is provided in this Colab, as the Colab format is a great fit for this kind of content, since it allows providing BigQuery queries that can be run directly inside of it, and the results can be presented alongside the queries. Colab covers both potential core Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. use-cases as well as plugin or theme use-cases.
Felix drafted a Make Core post draft (public preview) to share this Colab more broadly with the core developer audience.
Felix is wondering whether it could be included or embedded in another area more dedicated to this kind of resource, such as learn.wordpress.org.
