Hi! First of all I’ll introduce my self, because I’m new in forum.
My name is Gonzalo, I’m a student of IT, now we are studying Software development, architecture, design, methodologies, etc.

We should choose an open source project to get information about it and write a well documented work. I chose WordPress because I’ve used it before, I have currently a project running over it, I have changed some core files and plugins, and cause I like PHP!

But I’m having troubles finding some information about the project, becasue most of the post talk baout how to develop with WordPress and not about HOW IS WORDPRESS DEVELOPED.

-I would like to know about wordpress development methodology? Does development team follow an agile methodology?
I have read Philosophy and information about bug tracker, tickets and now I’m reading about realease philosophy. But nothing in particular about methodology.

-I will need information about software architecture. I have read WordPress is based on Event-driven paradigm, I have some post to investigate more about this. But I’m sure there is more architecture patterns in WordPress.

-In the future I will start researching information about Design Patterns inside wordpress core, I’m stuck on previous points for now, If you give me some guidelines about this part or references to read about I would be grateful.

I’M NOT ASKING YOU TO MAKE MY WORK! I’m just asking for help, information or references. Of course I can share my work when I finish my research, and I will!

Thank you!

Have you read/followed the core blog? https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/

I have tried to find info there, but it’s all so sparse I can not take something clear.

Have you checked out the handbook there?

Please whatever you find, make your findings available to our community.

For myself I am not sure if I see any architecture to the evolution of WordPress. And evolution is key here, it is a mature project, ambitious of scope, there are all sorts of relics in the codebase. All sorts of things which given the opportunity would be done differently.

I offer these observations, while being a thoroughly PHP project, the innovative mechanism of both “hooks” and “filters” conceptually represent significant language extensions. Add the plugins mechanism and you have a platform with enormous scope.

Good luck.

@jascore7, Slack is not meant for support. The forums are the best place to ask this, not Slack.

@macmanx Of course I have read the handbook. I have read all the documentation I have found, but there is no info about Design decisions, Architecture, etc.

You’ll find a lot of the decisions discussed in various trac tickets.

@sterndata Yes, that’s a good idea. I will search tickets in trac where I can see some design decisions or patterns.

I have read all the documentation I have found, but there is no info about Design decisions, Architecture, etc.

There is a section in the Handbook that I linked you to titled “Design Decisions” https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/handbook/contribute/design-decisions/

Though not specifically labeled Architecture, most of that is covered under https://make.www.ads-software.com/core/handbook/best-practices/ and there’s a full database description at https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Database_Description

Title sounds great, but I’m talking about Software Development, so when I talk about design I mean, design patterns, antipatterns, code examples, etc. That WordPress encourages using absolute paths doesn’t help too much.

Can help, a11y is a great topic I will write about and coding standards can give some clues about design, thanks, but is a bit technical.

Data model can give me a lot of info about design decisions and architecture, thank you!

For design, you’ll want to see the Design Team Handbook: https://make.www.ads-software.com/design/handbook/
