My Drupal Core Contributions for week-ending June 21th, 2024
Here's what I've been working on for my Drupal contributions this week. Thanks to Code Enigma for sponsoring the time to work on these.
Week 2 in my "luckiest person alive to have this job" chronicles. Let's see what we achieved this week to make Drupal better for everyone.
- The initiative meetings are still going on. This week I attended the "Experience Builder" update. This looks really interesting, really ambitious, and really cool - a mix of layout builder + paragraphs + Gutenberg + a kitchen sink ...
- We got an issue to stop using the body field in the Umami profile merged, so that makes Drupal core one bit better.
- I created an issue on Drupal.org just before DrupalCon in Prague in 2022 to simplify the default markup from the
field.html.twigfile. It got a lot of attention at the time, but since we didn't get it fixed then, the enthusiasm has waned a little bit. This week I revived it with an updated proposal for the markup for that file. - Kind of related to last week's blog post about setting up DDEV for Drupal core contributions, I decided to automate it with a bash script, then I wrote a blog post to help others contribute to Drupal core more easily.
