Agenda
📓 ··· Here is the agenda for this meeting ···
WordPress Community
Hosting Team Time
Hosting Team Projects
Open Floor
Would anyone like to add to or change any items on the agenda?
OK, let’s get started with the WordPress Community news.
WordPress Community
:wordpress: ··· WordPress Notifications ···
WP Feature Notifications: 2023 Status Update
The WP Feature Notifications (formerly WP Notify) project was first proposed in 2019 in order to improve and modernise the way in which WordPress handles user notifications.
In the last few months we’ve had a good amount of progress, as well as a number of changes, which have led to the recent publication of prerelease 0.2.0.
:community: More Effective Contributor Days
Cultivating More Effective Contributing on Contributor Days
Contributor Days are usually single day events focused on all things related to contributing to WordPress.
However, at many events the overwhelming majority of time at contributor day is usually spent in one of two areas:
The post is not only meant to document the discussion and several action items that were identified, but also to gather any feedback from the wider community and volunteers with an interest in helping to complete the related initiatives.
Hosting Team Time
:wordpress: ··· SQLite Update ···
[Status update on the SQLite project]
The initial implementation was included in the Performance Lab plugin and then released as a stand-alone plugin.
Why should this be in Core and not as a plugin?
In its current form, the SQLite implementation is a plugin. Just like all plugins, it can only be installed on a pre-existing website. As a result, a site can only use an SQLite database if it already has a MySQL database – effectively negating all the benefits that SQLite can bring to WordPress.
Using the featured plugin is a great way to allow users to test the implementation and iron out any issues etc. However, long-term, it doesn’t make sense to use it as a plugin.
The proof-of-concept UI in that implementation checks if the server supports SQLite and MySQL:
How can this implementation be tested?
The next step would be to thoroughly test the implementation with all the plugins you normally use. You can use the SQLite Database Integration plugin to test an SQLite database on your existing website, or better yet – you can test the pull request in WordPress Core.
🤖 ··· WP-CLI 2.8.0 ···
WP-CLI v2.8.0 release date
The v2.8.0 release of WP-CLI is scheduled to be published on 2023-05-03.
Among others a multitude of bug fixes and some new features, we’re also expecting this release to fix all known PHP 8.2 issues within WP-CLI itself.
The release candidate for this release will already be available sometime during the week prior, to allow for early testing. We will announce the availability of that release candidate in the #hosting-community channel to allow hosters to do early smoke testing.
🗓️ ··· Hosting Contributor Day ···
Heads up, some events are coming down the pipeline along with some Contributor Days to participate in:
Is anyone going to a WordCamp and wants to lead a Hosting Table?
Great, so just a look at our projects.
Hosting Team Projects
📕 ··· Advanced Administration Handbook ···
The Advanced Administration handbook is now public and online.
Currently, everything pending to do is in the Issues part. A lot of "documentation + enhancement" tickets, and also some "documentation + good first issue" for Contributor Day.
If anybody needs help or mentoring for this project, @javiercasares is always available.
☁️ ··· Host Test Runners ···
You may have heard of Host Test Results, a community-led project that helps WordPress users find the best hosts for their sites. Host Test Results provides a comprehensive list of hosting providers and detailed information about each host's performance and reliability.
We want to make sure that as many hosts as possible are included in the Host Test Results database, so that WordPress users, the #core-test, and the #core team can benefit from this valuable resource. That's why we're asking you to check if your host is already supporting Host Test Results, and to add your host if it still needs to be included.
To check if your hoster is already supporting Host Test Results, visit the website (https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/test-results/) and search for your host's name. If your host is already included, great! You can use the information provided to make sure that you're getting the best possible performance and reliability from your site.
If your host isn't included, don't worry, you can still help! You can just follow the instructions on the website to add your host to the database. It's quick and easy, and you'll be helping other WordPress users find the best hosts for their sites. However, if your host has not received reports in the last 25 revisions, we encourage you to check back with them.
Open Floor
Ok, if nothing else, let’s move on to 🤖 Open Floor. Folks are welcome to bring any topic up for discussion at this time.
Next meeting
⏰ Here are the team's upcoming meetings:
📌 Okay, we're out of time for today, let's close out this meeting.
You are welcome to continue the conversation here in the #hosting-community channel or on Make/Hosting, at any time.
Thank you all for joining and for your contributions to WordPress!
See you at the next Hosting Team weekly meeting! < /meeting >
