Congratulations to everyone who contributed to this project, and here are two quick videos that show the before and after:
As shown in the video, Make WordPress now features a new block Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience.-based homepage with a more expressive design and a standardized aesthetic across the rest of the site. A few notable highlights include a handbook template that now matches those in Developer Resources and Documentation and a redesigned meeting calendar.



Next steps
This refresh was not a complete redesign. The Make section of WordPress.org is vast, covering 32 contributor teams and 114 local teams, each with its own blog, handbooks, and component pages. The primary goal was to introduce a block-based homepage, update the overall design with style improvements, and make the sites visually consistent with the rest of WordPress.org. The refresh did not fundamentally change how Make WordPress functions or address any content-related issues that might have existed prior.
Teams are encouraged to review their sections. This is a great time to update content in handbooks, team welcome messages, and more. Note that Trac was not redesigned in this update and will be addressed in the future.
If you find any issues or have suggestions for additional improvements, please add a ticket to the WordPress.org issues queue on GitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the ‘pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. https://github.com/ or on Trac.
