Recently, the official WordPress site has started a new “a developer-focused communications site” open-source WordPress Developer Blog. This is currently a Beta version, the official lunch is scheduled in two weeks.
In its announcement proposal, Birgit Pauli-Haak writes: “The Make Core blog has a heavy emphasis on meeting notes for the various core teams, rather than highlighting new features. This makes it difficult for developers who are not contributors or who just occasionally contribute to find the relevant information among the team-related posts”.
The site is said to focuse on updates for developers, extenders creating plugins and themes, and those who work with WordPress at an agency or as freelancers.
Here are links to How to contribute and Tips and Guidelines for Writers.
At the time of writing, the following three posts are published:
- Creating Themes from a Pattern-First Mindset (Justin Tadlock)
- Demystifying Home and Posts Templates in WordPress theme development (Daisy Olsen)
- How to extend WordPress via the SlotFill system (Ryan welcher)
Both the CSS-Tricks and WP Taverns have covered its beta lunch.
All the article topics are covered in the GitHub.
