There’s been a lot of discussion around Josepha Haden‘s post about the “Big Picture Goals” for 2021. Check up on the discussion there in the comments if you haven’t seen it yet. To recap the intentionally broad and incomplete focal points, they are:
- Full Site Editing: This goal targets giving users the ability to edit all elements of a site using Gutenberg blocks. This is marked as MVP for the Gutenberg plugin by April 2021, with its first release in core slated for WordPress 5.8. (In the ensuing discussion, Josepha responded to Joost de Valk and Frank Klein asking for clarification about the precise definition of MVP status.) 📝
- LearnWP: This goal aims at regular publication of new workshops and lesson plans at learn.wordpress.org while maintaining a high pass rate on workshop quizzes to establish learner success and comprehension. 📚
- Contributor Tools: here the goal is to decrease the manual overhead of maintenance work for teams through better tooling. 🛠️
