A web where being locked into a system is a thing of the past. This is the web I\u2019ve always wanted to see. That\u2019s why I announced a new initiative called <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/data-liberation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Data Liberation<\/a> for 2024. Migrating your site to WordPress, or exporting all your content from WordPress, should be possible in one click. I want WordPress\u2019 export format to become the lingua franca of CMSes, whether coming to WordPress or moving within WordPress.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I often hear about folks across the WordPress community duplicating efforts when creating scripts and workflows to move users to WordPress. Imagine if we shared those resources instead and built community-owned plugins that anyone could use! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it should be more than plugins; workflows, tutorials, and helper scripts should be shared, too. I want this resource to have space to include moving from social networks, moving from a page builder to core blocks, switching from classic to blocks, and improving WordPress current canonical plugins for importing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You can help!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the heart of any open source project is the community that shows up to build it. My hope is that this marks the start of a new contribution pathway, separate from core teams, that allows folks to contribute what they\u2019ve learned and what they\u2019ve created to help others move to WordPress. I expect this emphasis on migration will also influence future development, both in core and with recommended community or canonical plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few things that I think will be key to making this project a success:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A dedicated landing page on WordPress.org following a WordPress.org\/and\/[platform-name] format.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A forum used for non-review user feedback and general discussion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A dedicated Slack channel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moderation within hours rather than days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Listed on <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/WordPress\">WordPress GitHub<\/a> with syncing for individual commits to SVN for history in both places.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>By complementing the community\u2019s existing efforts\u2014the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/five-for-the-future\/\">Five for the Future program<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.wordpress.org\/\">Learn WordPress initiative<\/a>, a focus on internationalization, etc.\u2014my hope is that this will help even more people see themselves in the WordPress project, providing fresh momentum for <a href=\"https:\/\/events.wordpress.org\/\">WordCamps and meetups<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s never been more crucial to champion openness on the web. Bringing focused attention to improved portability will untether users and increase their freedom like never before.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Imagine a more open web where people can switch between any platform of their choosing.
