  • @adamsilverstein One new thing this week: I am working on a game/testing tool that shows two images generated by WordPress and asks users which they prefer. The comparisons will cover a range of quality settings and mime types (and image engines) and we will collect data about the comparisons. My goal is both to have something fun and interactive as well as get some actual WordPress based data on image quality to help make a decision about where to set WebP default quality in coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress..
    I’d love to have some testers/feedback here once I get it a little further developed (to be shared in future).
  • @pbearne I will/plan create a combined patchpatch A special text file that describes changes to code, by identifying the files and lines which are added, removed, and altered. It may also be referred to as a diff. A patch can be applied to a codebase for testing. with dom-color with theme flags and media lib changes for core and then create a new proposal blogblog (versus network, site) post on make for this new version
    Following from @flixos90 comment on the media lib patch
  • @spacedmonkey asked if we are hoping to get dominant color into 6.2
    • @pbearne would love to get it in but @spacedmonkey unsure if the 80% rule was met (is it useful for 80% of users)
    • @pbearne I am hoping as this is a enhancementenhancement Enhancements are simple improvements to WordPress, such as the addition of a hook, a new feature, or an improvement to an existing feature. to the media library and the is for every one we can get it in and with the them flag it can be pulled into a theme if wanted just like you might use the icons from core in a theme

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 Checker work in progress (mainly infrastructure right now) and coming along nicely

  • @olliejones I’m seeing some very promising performance results from using SQLite as the persister for an object cache. Is this worth proposing as a Performance Lab module?
    • Performing very well on a WooCommerce site on low-end Godaddy hosting – been doing some tests on my 100K user test site, it seems good. Also works with multisitemultisite Used to describe a WordPress installation with a network of multiple blogs, grouped by sites. This installation type has shared users tables, and creates separate database tables for each blog (wp_posts becomes wp_0_posts). See also network, blog, site
    • @pbearne suggested yes, @olliejones will write a proposal
    • @spacedmonkey +1 for this idea. Adding object caching to sites without the overhead of memcache or redis, could be massive big for smaller sites
    • @adamsilverstein would be especially great for hosts that don’t support traditional object caching and won’t for some real reasons
    • @olliejones Last week I asked whether there are any more-or-less standardized large-site benchmarking environments. This is why. Anything?

Our next chat will be held on Tuesday, January 24, 2023 at 16:00 UTC in the #core-performance channel in Slack.

WordPress 6.2 Release Squad

Thanks to everybody that volunteered for the release squad! Considering all applications for the different roles, a release team has been assembled with project leadership to ensure all areas are properly covered.

Based on the positive feedback received by the proposal of this new role in the call for volunteers for the release squad, this release will trial a new role — Performance Lead. In this first iteration, the Performance Lead will run early performance testing in WordPress trunk and act as an advisor, flagging performance regressions before they are shipped, helping solve them, and providing guidance to the rest of the release squad on performance-related discussions.

Release LeadRelease Lead The community member ultimately responsible for the Release.: Matt Mullenweg
Release Coordinators: Francesca Marano, Héctor Prieto

2. Approval of topics

Discussion on Topic Ideas from the discussion board.
A few of the topics in the pipeline were discussed. They are not all ready to proceed, but some have writers who are considering the topics.

The topics in the list below were agreed and ready proceed.

Topic ideas that are still looking for input and writers:

Some writers volunteered during the meeting. It was agreed to promote a call for input and writers wider and various options were discussed to encourage awareness, mentor and share learning, and increase the number of voices. Options included: Month in WordPress newsletter, a P2P2 A free theme for WordPress, known for front-end posting, used by WordPress for development updates and project management. See our main development blog and other workgroup blogs. blog post and cross-posting to other teams and in specific meetings, individual networks on social.

Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process., so a larger promotion /marketing campaign will be at the end of the current cycle. Post-beta stage, there could be more analysis on referrers to the core dev blog and identifying developer advocates who may be able to help promote awareness.

Work on the beta version continues, with identified issues to address with design and metaMeta 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.. No date as yet for the marketing launch. GitHub repo for more information on design areas.
