Text of the page (random words):
ic will benefit from it but so will everyone else in the wordpress community and even the drupal community it s available for everyone under the gpl if the goal was purely to benefit automattic it would have been faster easier and created an advantage for automattic to have gutenberg just on wp com that wasn t and isn t the point is gutenberg ready absolutely our original goal with gutenberg was to get it on 100 000 sites to begin testing it s now already on more than 1 million sites and it s the fastest growing plugin in wordpress history there is a lot of user demand the goal was to both test gutenberg on as many sites as possible before the 5 0 release and also to encourage plugin developers to make sure their plugins and services will be ready with everyone pitching in we can make this the most anti climactic release in wordpress history in the recent debate over gutenberg readiness i think it s important to understand the difference between gutenberg being ready code wise it is now and whether the entire community is ready for gutenberg it will take some time we ve had 15 years to polish and perfect core after all but the global wordpress community has some of the world s most talented contributors and we can make it as good as we want to make it there is also a new opportunity to dramatically expand the wordpress contributor community to include more designers and javascript engineers with javascript apps there are also new opportunities for designing documentation and support right on the page so that help arrives right where you need it someone described gutenberg to me as wordpress in 3d i like the sound of that blocks are like layers you can zoom in and out of the question now is what are we going to build with this new dimension do i have to switch to gutenberg when wordpress 5 0 is released not at all when it s released you get to choose what happens you can install the classic editor plugin today and when 5 0 is released nothing will change we ve commited to supporting and updating classic editor until 2022 if you d like to install gutenberg early you can do that now too the classic editor plugin has been available for 13 months now and gutenberg has been available for 18 months both have been heavily promoted since august 2018 and more than 1 3 million org sites have opted in already to either experience so nothing will change for them when they update to 5 0 how can i make sure i m ready before updating to 5 0 try out the gutenberg plugin with your site to ensure it works with your existing plugins and also to get comfortable with the new experience developers across the entire ecosystem are working hard to update their plugins but your mileage and plugins may vary and you can always use the classic editor to address any gaps as with every new thing things might feel strange and new for a bit but i m confident once you start using it you ll get comfy quickly and you won t want to go back the release candidate of 5 0 is stable and fine to develop against and test when will 5 0 be released we have had a stable rc1 which stands for first release candidate and about to do our second one there is only currently one known blocker and it s cosmetic the stability and open issues in the release candidates thus far makes me optimistic we can release soon but as before the primary driver will be the stability and quality of the underlying software we made the mistake prior of announcing dates when lots of code was still changing and had to delay because of regressions and bugs now that things aren t changing we re approaching a time we can commit to a date soon is it terrible to do a release in december some people think so some don t there have been 9 major wordpress releases in previous decembers december releases actually comprise 34 of our major releases in the past decade can i set it up so only 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

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 survey categories automattic wordpress dance to calypso post author by matt post date november 23 2015 124 comments on dance to calypso one of the hardest things to do in technology is disrupt 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 o...
