To make the highest impact on WordPress, Five for the Future organizations and contributors are encouraged to work on projects that align with WordPress\u2019 goals, as mentioned in our 2024 Big Picture Goals page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you consider your contributions, please consider the following big themes for project in 2024:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contribution Themes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Growing WordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

New WordPress installations are stagnant year over year. Now is the time to encourage the use of open-source software solutions like WordPress. We should work to ensure that our project supports businesses and commerce by providing access and opportunities to those who might not have them otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evolving our Event Series<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our event series must move beyond a “one size fits all” strategy. By offering more advanced topics and focused events, we can meet our community’s needs. With time being valuable, our events should clearly help participants reach their goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Focus Areas<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are three focuses for our projects this year:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CMS:<\/strong>
Test, iterate, and ship<\/a> Phase 3 of the Gutenberg project (core-team)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Community: <\/strong>
Continue to support the community through learning<\/a>, events<\/a>, and mentorship<\/a> of current and future contributors<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ecosystem: <\/strong>
Address the difficulty in moving platforms through the Data Liberation project<\/a> as well as streamline existing review processes across repositories (details below<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
