In July, Tammie focused on improving the handling of design-related issues in the WordPress project. She continued working through the backlog of issues labeled as needing design and verified they were still relevant.
The upcoming WordPress 6.9 release
She gave feedback on issues flagged for the WordPress 6.9 release and increased her input on pull requests labeled as needing design feedback. One notable example was the pull request to add a check for the element in the Document Outline, which was unblocked through collaboration.
Tammie also reviewed outstanding issues, including the request to extend the Stylebook’s sample content, and added labels to help it get more visibility.
Extensibility
She created two new tickets focused on extensibility: one about surfacing content before the menu or title in the Site Editor’s side panel, and another on how to better control template information. Both highlight areas that currently require workarounds and would benefit from clearer documentation or improved UI.
Lastly, she helped triage core editor issue labels to ensure only relevant ones are used for the 6.9 focus.
Why this matters
This is what contribution looks like in practice: critical maintenance, exploratory work, and pushing for better outcomes. We’re proud to support it.
These contributions help us make Greyd.Suite better, but they also address broader issues that affect other developers, theme authors, and agencies. Whether it’s improving accessibility, fixing edge-case bugs, or helping others build more flexible solutions, our contributions are meant to ripple outward.
And like all contributions to open source, it’s not always simple. Coordination, clear communication, and alignment with the larger project are key. We’re proud to be part of that effort.
Stay tuned for next month’s update!
