Text of the page (random words):
certain users get to use gutenberg yes and soon we re going to be doing another update to the classic editor before the 5 0 release to give it a bit more fine grained user control we ve heard requests for options that allow certain users or certain roles and post types to have gutenberg while others have classic editor what happens after 5 0 we ve been doing a release of gutenberg every two weeks and 5 0 isn t going to stop that we ll do minor release to 5 0 5 0 1 5 0 2 fortnightly with occasional breaks so if there s feedback that comes in we can address it quickly many of the previous bugs in updates were from juggling between updates in the plugin and core now that gutenberg is in core it s much easier and safer to incrementally update what about gutenberg and accessibility we ve had some important discussions about accessibility over the past few weeks and i am grateful for those who have helped raise these questions in the community accessibility has been core to wordpress from the very beginning it s part of why we started the adoption of web standards and accessibility but where i think we fell down was with project management specifically we had a team of volunteers that felt like they were disconnected from the rapid development that was happening with gutenberg we need to improve that in the future i don t know if it makes sense to have accessibility as a separate kind of process from the core development it needs to be integrated at every single stage still we ve accomplished a lot as matías has written about there have been more than 200 closed issues related to accessibility since the very beginning we re also taking the opportunity to fix some things that have had poor accessibility in wordpress from the beginning codemirror which is a code editor for templates is not accessible so we have some parts of wordpress that we really need to work on to make better speaking of which codemirror was seeking funding for their next version automattic has now sponsored that funding and in return it will be made available under the gpl and that the next version of codemirror will be fully accessible great news due to a substantial donation from automattic our crowdfunding goal has been reached and codemirror 6 is definitely happening codemirror codemirror october 23 2018 finally automattic will be funding an accessibility study of wordpress gutenberg and an evaluation of best practices across the web to ensure wordpress is fully accessible and setting new standards for the web overall after wordpress 5 0 is the gutenberg name going to stick around sometimes code names can take on a life of their own i think gutenberg is still what we ll call this project it s called that on github and you re also seeing it adopted by other cmses beyond wordpress but for those outside the community i can see it simply being known as the new wordpress editor with the adoption of react for gutenberg what do you see as the future for react and wordpress in 2015 i said learn javascript deeply then in 2016 we brought the rest api into core gutenberg is the first major feature built entirely on the rest api so if you are learning things today learn javascript and i can imagine a future wp admin that s 100 javascript talking to apis i m excited to see that happen now switching to a pure javascript interface could break some backward compatibility but a nice thing about gutenberg is that it provides an avenue for all plugins to work through it gives them a way to plug in to that it can eliminate the need for what s currently done in custom admin screens the other beautiful thing is that because gutenberg essentially allows for translation into many different formats it can publish to your web page it can publish your rss feed amp it can publish blocks that can be translated into email for newsletters there s so much in the structured nature of gutenberg and the semantic html that it creates and the grammar that s used to parse it can enable for other applications it becomes a little bit like a lingua franca that even crosses cmses there s now these new cross cms gutenberg blocks that will be possible it s not just wordpress anymore it might be a javascript block that was written for drupal that you install on your wordpress site how would that have ever happened before that s why we took two years off it s why we ve had everyone in the world working on this thing it s because we want it to be worthit and wordpress 5 0 is just the starting line we want to get it to that place where it s not just better than what we have today but a world class web defining experience it s what we want to create and what everyone deserves was this post published with gutenberg of course no bugs but i do see lots of areas we can continue to improve and i m excited to get to work on future iterations tags gutenberg categories wordpress wordpress at 15 post author by matt post date may 25 2018 22 comments on wordpress at 15 this weekend may 27 marks the 15th anniversary of the first release of wordpress it is an understatement to say that i am immensely proud of what this global community has become and what it has created more than 30 of the top sites on the web are now powered by wordpress i m writing this in our next generation editor gutenberg and every day i meet someone who is building something interesting on wordpress or pushing our shared project in bold new directions if you can believe it growth has actually been accelerating there s so much a group of high school students bands together to build a national movement on wordpress a president builds the foundation for his own next chapter on wordpress the current whitehouse gov switches over or when someone like hajj flemings brings thousands of small businesses onto the open web for the first time with wordpress to celebrate wp15 hundreds of local wordpress communities around the world will be throwing parties go here to find a meetup in your area i am thankful to mike for helping make wordpress a reality many dedicated folks in the years since and to all of you who are dreaming up the next 15 years many in the open source world are like moses in that they speak of the promised land but will never set foot there if i spend the rest of my life working and we don t reach almost all websites being powered by open source and the web being substantially open i will die content because i already see younger generations picking up the banner categories wordpress facebook dropping patent clause post author by matt post date september 24 2017 41 comments on facebook dropping patent clause i am surprised and excited to see the news that facebook is going to drop the patent clause that i wrote about last week they ve announced that with react 16 the license will just be regular mit with no patent addition i applaud facebook for making this move and i hope that patent clause use is re examined across all their open source projects our decision to move away from react based on their previous stance has sparked a lot of interesting discussions in the wordpress world particularly with gutenberg there may be an approach that allows developers to write gutenberg blocks gutenblocks in the library of their choice including preact polymer or vue and now react could be an officially supported option as well i want to say thank you to everyone who participated in the discussion thus far i really appreciate it the vigorous debate and discussion in the comments here and on hacker news and reddit was great for the passion people brought and the opportunity to learn about so many different points of view it was even better that facebook was listening categories wordpress wordpress 14 post author by matt post date may 27 2017 13 comments on wordpress 14 today is 14 years from the very first release of wordpress the interface i m using to write this calypso is completely unrecognizable from what wordpress looked and worked like even a few years ago fourteen years in i m waking up every day excited about what s coming next for us the progress of the editor and cli so far this year is awesome and i m looking forward to that flowing into improvements for customization and the rest api thanks as always to mike for kicking off this crazy journey all the people chipping in to make wordpress better and konstantin and erick for surprising me with the cool cake above categories wordpress wp growth council post author by matt post date december 2 2016 10 comments on wp growth council in the wordpress world when we look back an 2016 i think we ll remember it as the year that we awoke to the importance of marketing wordpress has always grown organically through word of mouth and its passionate community but the hundreds of millions being spent advertising against wp has started to have an impact especially for folks only lightly familiar with us i ve started to hear about a number of folks across many wordpress companies and industries working on this from different angles some approaching it from an enterprise point of view and some from a consumer point of view there s an opportunity for learning from each other almost like a mastermind group as the survey says never have there been more threats to the open web and wordpress over three hundred million dollars has been spent in 2016 advertising proprietary systems and even more is happening in investment no one company in the wp world is large enough to fight this nor should anyone need to do it on their own we d like to bring together organizations that would like to contribute to growing wordpress it will be a small group and if you or your organization are interested in being a part please fill out the survey below by working together we can amplify our efforts to bring open source to a wider audience and fulfill wordpress mission to truly democratize publishing if this sounds interesting to you apply using this

yourself but we re trying our darndest and have some cool news to introduce today when i took on the responsibility of ceo of automattic january of last year we faced two huge problems our growth was constrained by lack of capital and the technological foundations of the past decade weren t strong enough for the demands of next one the first has a relatively straightforward answer we found some fantastic partners agreed on a fair price issued new equity in the company to raise 160m and started investing in areas we felt were high potential like this year s woocommerce acquisition this war chest gives us a huge array of options especially given our fairly flat burn rate we don t need to raise money again to keep the company going and any capital we raise in the future will be purely discretionary since last may when the round happened we ve only spent 3m of the investment on opex the second is much harder to address the wordpress codebase is actually incredible in many ways the result of many thousands of people collaborating over 13 years but some of wordpress greatest strengths were also holding it back the wordpress codebase contains a sea of institutional knowledge and countless bug fixes it handles hundreds of edge cases integrates constant security improvements is coded to scale development moves at a fast clip with six major releases over the past two years and more around the corner its power and flexibility is undeniable wordpress just passed a huge milestone and now powers 25 of the web you can run it on a 5 a month web host or scale it up to serve billions of pageviews on one of the largest sites on the web wordpress com the interface however has been a struggle many of us attempted to give it a reboot with the mp6 project and the version 3 8 release but what that release made clear to me is that an incremental approach wouldn t give us the improvements we needed and that two of the things that helped make wordpress the strong stable powerful tool it is backward compatibility and working without javascript were actually holding it back the basic paradigms of wp admin are largely the same as they were five years ago working within them had become limiting the time seemed ripe for something new something big but if you re going to break back compat it needs to be for a really good reason a 20x improvement not a 2x most open source projects fade away rather than make evolutionary jumps so we asked ourselves a big question what would we build if we were starting from scratch today knowing all we ve learned over the past 13 years of building wordpress at the beginning of last year we decided to start experimenting and see today we re announcing something brand new a new approach to wordpress and open sourcing the code behind it the project codenamed calypso is the culmination of more than 20 months of work by dozens of the most talented engineers and designers i ve had the pleasure of working with 127 contributors with over 26 000 commits calypso is incredibly fast it ll charm you written purely in javascript leveraging libraries like node and react 100 api powered those apis are open and now available to every developer in the world a great place to read allowing you to follow sites across the web even if they re not using wordpress social with stats likes and notifications baked in fully responsive make it small and put it in your sidebar or go full screen really fun to write in especially the drag and drop image uploads fully multi site for advanced users so you can manage hundreds of wordpresses from one place able to manage plugins and themes on jetpack sites including auto upgrading them 100 open source with all future development happening in the open available for anyone to adapt to make their own including building custom interfaces distributions or working with web services besides wordpress com a lot of people thought we should keep this proprietary but throughout my life i ve learned that the more you give away the more you get back we still have a ton to figure out around plugins extensibility contributions windows and linux releases api speed localization and harmonizing the wordpress com api and wp api so it can work with core wordpress thousands more php developers will need to become fluent with javascript to recreate their admin interfaces in this fashion i m also really excited to revisit and redesign many more screens now that we have this first version out the door this is a beginning not an ending 1 0 is the loneliest better things are yet to come as all of
