The Month in WordPress: December 2017

Activity slowed down in December in the WordPress community, particularly in the last two weeks. However, the month started off with a big event and work pushed forward in a number of key areas of the project. Read on to find out more about what transpired in the WordPress community as 2017 came to a close.

WordCamp US 2017 Brings the Community Together

The latest edition of WordCamp US took place last month in Nashville on December 1-3. The event brought together over 1,400 WordPress enthusiasts from around the world, fostering a deeper, more engaged global community.

While attending a WordCamp is always a unique experience, you can catch up on the sessions on WordPress.tv and look through the event photos on Facebook to get a feel for how it all happened. Of course, Matt Mullenweg’s State of the Word talk is always one of the highlights at this event.

The next WordCamp US will be held in Nashville again in 2018, but if you would like to see it hosted in your city in 2019 and 2020, then you have until February 2 to apply.

WordPress User Survey Data Is Published

Over the last few years, tens of thousands of WordPress users all over the world have filled out the annual WordPress user survey. The results of that survey are used to improve the WordPress project, but that data has mostly remained private. This has changed now and the results from the last three surveys are now publicly available for everyone to analyze.

The data will be useful to anyone involved in WordPress since it provides a detailed look at who uses WordPress and what they do with it — information that can help inform product development decisions across the board.

New WordPress.org Team for the Tide Project

As announced at WordCamp US, the Tide project is being brought under the WordPress.org umbrella to be managed and developed by the community.

Tide is a series of automated tests run against every plugin and theme in the directory to help WordPress users make informed decisions about the plugins and themes that they choose to install.

To get involved in developing Tide, jump into the #tide channel in the Making WordPress Slack group, and follow the Tide team blog.

Further Reading:

• If you’re following the development of Gutenberg, or if you want a primer on where it’s headed, then Morten Rand-Hendriksen’s talk from WordCamp US is a must watch.
• The annual surveys for WordPress meetup members and meetup organizers are available for people to fill out — if you’re involved in or attend your local meetup group then be sure to complete those.
• 10up has a brand new plugin in beta that will assist with powerful and flexible content publishing and syndication across WordPress sites.
• The Community Team is exploring a move to make the recently developed CampSite theme the default theme for all new WordCamp websites. This is the theme that was developed and employed for WordCamp Europe 2017.
• The team working on the multisite features of WordPress Core has recently published their planned roadmap for development.

Transfer news: Bale in Spurs return as part of Kane deal? – FCNaija

Real Madrid are reportedly prepping to offer Gareth Bale – a player Spurs sold them for £85m back to the North London side in a bid to land in-form Harry Kane.

The deal would amount to a £150million cash-plus-player package for the Spurs goal-machine.

Spurs reluctantly sold Bale to Real four years ago for £85m and reports say they have an agreement with Los Blancos that they will be informed of any offer from another Premier League club – and have the option to match it.

Manchester United have regularly been linked with Bale – and have always wanted Kane, 24.

But the Daily Star Sunday understands the fear at Old Trafford is that England striker Kane will move to Madrid – with Bale possibly going the other way.

There will be no deal of that nature in this transfer window. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and boss Mauricio Pochettino are adamant that Kane is staying.

Barcelona star set for new deal – FCNaija

Barcelona are reportedly planning an improved bumper contract for their French center-back, Samuel Umtiti.

Though the 24-year-old is only into his second season at the club, he has settled fast enough to become a first-team fixture at the Nou Camp.

His form has sparked interest from across the continent – so too the £50m release clause on his current deal at the Spanish league leaders

Barcelona are ready to offer him a new contract in a bid to prevent him leaving on the cheap, according to Spanish newspaper Marca.

 The outlet claims talks over a renewal for the French international will begin ‘in the coming weeks’.

Umtiti is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury and faces a month out of first-team action.
