GatherPress

Descrição

GatherPress, um plugin criado pela comunidade e para a comunidade WordPress, é uma resposta a um desejo por novas ferramentas de gerenciamento de eventos que atendam às diversas necessidades de seus organizadores e participantes. Sua agenda e plano de desenvolvimento se alinham com os da comunidade WordPress, garantindo que o plugin evolua em conjunto com nossos desejos e necessidades coletivos.

Programa piloto

Propomos um programa piloto para testar o GatherPress, um plugin desenvolvido pela comunidade, dentro de grupos ativos de meetup do WordPress. Esta iniciativa decorre da necessidade da nossa comunidade por uma ferramenta inovadora de gerenciamento de eventos adaptada às demandas exclusivas dos organizadores e participantes de eventos WordPress. Nossa proposta em janeiro de 2024 em make.wordpress.org.

Construído pela comunidade

Este projeto é resultado de um esforço colaborativo para construir um aplicativo de gerenciamento de eventos convincente usando ferramentas de código aberto como WordPress e BuddyPress, com a coragem, suor e amor da comunidade, para a comunidade. Convidamos todas as pessoas interessadas, sejam usuárias, membros da comunidade ou desenvolvedoras, a acompanharem nosso blog do GatherPress, nossos repositórios no GitHub, nossa documentação do GatherPress ou os novos recursos no Playground do GatherPress.

Ambiente do Playground

O Playground do GatherPress permite que você teste o estado atual do GatherPress com dados existentes em um ambiente totalmente funcional.

O playground é construído no WordPress Playground com dados json que você pode personalizar como quiser. Para começar, clique no botão acima, ou aprofunde-se mais ao:

• Clicando no botão “Pré-visualização ao vivo” na página do plugin do GatherPress no WordPress.org
• Visualizar instantaneamente as alterações de um link do Playground comentado em cada Pull Request
• Gerar automaticamente capturas de tela em múltiplos idiomas para plugins do WordPress.org
• Executar testes de ponta a ponta (ainda um Pull Request)
• Fazer uma curadoria e manutenção do seu próprio conjunto de dados de demonstração, que podem ser reutilizados em todos os playgrounds do WordPress.

Para uma apresentação sobre o que estamos criando e os recursos necessários para hospedar eventos e reunir pessoas adequadamente, assista ao vídeo de introdução.

GatherPress‘ Best Practices

• Tested & validated against WordPress Coding Standards
• Not only once, but consequently tested & validated against the WordPress plugin review guidelines.
• JavaScript & PHP Unit tests are covering almost 80% of the whole codebase.

Reminder — GatherPress is still in Alpha

As we continue to refine and develop the core plugin, we’ve created the GatherPress Alpha plugin to run alongside the GatherPress plugin. The role of the Alpha plugin is to manage breaking changes easily: just make sure it is up-to-date, activate it, go to the Alpha section under GatherPress Settings, and click “Fix GatherPress!” after updating GatherPress. This process helps us avoid technical debt as we work towards launching version 1.0.0 of the plugin. When we arrive there, the Alpha plugin will no longer be necessary.
