@chubes4 @automattic It does work if you run the matching Gutenberg version for the Blocks Everywhere plugin. That means for github.com/Automattic/blo… you need to run Gutenberg 17.9 (Which you'll see the w.org/support forums is running) Here's the bbPress feature req: bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3403

I want to use the Gutenberg editor in bbPress like they do on WordPress.org I found this Blocks Everywhere plugin by @automattic that hasn't had an update in almost two years It currently does not work Let's see if i can get it back up and running for WP 6.9

@DustinSnider @andyfragen Plugins usually need to reference their GitHub or other repo's in their readme to comply with other guidelines, and community plugins get to use the community development location field. I'm for GitHub/others being used for plugin dev, just don't see the need for any updatestuff

@DustinSnider @andyfragen Yup. I don't see any problems with the plugin directory choosing not to support a 3rd-party updater. Plugins haven't been able to include those for a long time. If this header was anything other than for updates it'd probably be very different. 1/2

I haven't used Twitter in forever.. how do y'all put up with the constant promoted posts and "buy premium!!" nags?

@andyfragen That's what I thought, I had to reinstall to get context on some stuff 🤷

@dd32 Mostly moved to Mastodon

@Zer0Lib @JavierCasares Every. Single. Person. Who volunteers on those teams do it because they care. Every. Single. One. Ultimately a BDFL founder of OSS projects will always have the final say and overrule them. Don't blame contributors for the OSS model they have to work within. Not their choice.

@JavierCasares WP project teams are paper tigers. Those cowards won't revert the change or block Matt from doing further damage to the project.

I'd love to know what the #WordPress Plugin Review Team, the WordPress Security Team, and the WordPress Meta Team think about overwriting an active developed plugin on the Plugin Directory. I never see that on any open source software I've been working with. Fork, never a takeover.

@ImSamLevy @rtsclement @wordcampsyd Yup. I agree. And if I could personally clarify, I would, but I can't. I can only express my non-legal opinion of what it means, which I've done so. Everyone else is free to (and has to) form an opinion themselves. At the end of the day, It's not a binding contract (...IMHO)

@dd32 @rtsclement @wordcampsyd I interpret it more or less the same as most people do "I have read the terms and conditions" - a box that you check because there's no realistic consequences either way. But people are seeking clarification because a lot of unrealistic things have happened these past weeks.

@rtsclement @ImSamLevy @wordcampsyd While that's a silly reply that looks really stupid coming from a brand account IMHO, it didn't say they're not welcome... It just made them feel unwelcome.. same-same but not same. I have nothing against those who use WPE, and *I don't* feel being their customer bans you.

@ImSamLevy @dd32 @wordcampsyd I guess just being a customer of WPE puts you in WP bad books.

@wilbrown_au @wordcampsyd @wpengine @WordPress Look, I agree it would be nice to have an official statement. But I don't think there's anyone who can actually make the one that you want. I can't - because I can't speak for the foundation. wordpress.org/news/2024/09/w… is all I can really point to as a canonical source of all is bad

@dd32 @wordcampsyd @wpengine @WordPress It would be courteous to have some proper official dialogue though rather than childish antics and no comments.

@ImSamLevy @rtsclement @wordcampsyd Oh I agree, but that's kinda my point, it's your own interpretation of it (not mine) that matters. That's why I was surprised when people wanted to translate it, translate it to what exactly?

@dd32 @rtsclement @wordcampsyd That's the point, though - the wording is incredibly vague as to what is actually meant.

@JavierCasares I don't "work for" WordPress/.org, no one does. My time is 'donated' to WordPress/.org, by Automattic, and that entails all the usual company things. I would prefer the checkbox be an agreement to the Code of Conduct(s), but that's not my call.

Moreover, from WordPress Meta WordCamp Slack channel. Nor the people who work for Audrey (so, people who work for wordpress/.org). To go to a WordPress event will require a WordPress/.org account.

@developerjack @wordcampsyd @wpengine @WordPress A leader includes those who command, not just those who have followers, and whether we like it or not, commands are still being executed. If not by one, by another.

@ImSamLevy @rtsclement @wordcampsyd But I can't legally confirm you would not be, if by being in a leasing agreement YOU FEEL you're affiliated with the company, that's your opinion and decision to make, not mine. I can only say that personally, I would not personally consider that financial affiliation.

@ImSamLevy @rtsclement @wordcampsyd I would disagree with that, affiliation in financial terms would indicate control of, or otherwise persuaded by money. A lease/loan/mortgage does not indicate that to me. I'm not affiliated with BankXYZ but they loan me money, and process my transactions.

@developerjack @wordcampsyd @wpengine @WordPress It would also apply to many other companies too. That's a very subjective rule though, so organisers should be free to apply it however they saw fit IMHO. I can't say I would've gone down this exact path if it were my choice, but that decision has been made by those leaders.

@developerjack Honestly all the hurt that it's causing the WordPress community pains me every day. I've been in this community for nearly 20 years at this point, and the damage the community has suffered in a matter of weeks is not something I'd have ever expected to occur where I call home.

@rtsclement @wordcampsyd IMHO, buying a Toyota vehicle doesn't make me financially or otherwise affiliated with Toyota, it's just a product I've purchased and used. If Toyota sponsored me and paid me to drive their vehicle though, that would be different. #NotALawyer just my personal opinion.

@wordcampsyd Pretty hard when I’ve got 170 sites across WPE and FlyWheel. I guess that counts as ‘financially affiliated’ given the utter lack of transparency. I always thought Mean Girls was a movie - not a business model.

@aebs @schutzsmith Development VMs use `xDebug` pretty var_dump's ;)

@schutzsmith They should use <pre> :P

What’s going on here on the WordPress plugin repo? Look at the array above ratings - I outlined it with red box.
