Before we head into the Round-up of community voices, I have two graphics for you from the advanced view of the Gutenberg plugin.
The first graphic displays the active versions among the various installs. Seems ro ughly 38% of the installs are actually using the 2.6 versions. So when reading through the reviews, it would be good to keep that in mind, that the majority of users are not working from the latest version. If you haven’t updated your plugin yet, you might want to consider doing this now.

The second graphic shows the number of downloads per day. Seems that the distribution of Gutenberg is actually accelerating.

This week’s Round-up is pretty long. Last week, I had to take a break while at the Nonprofit Technology Conference in New Orleans. Use the links in the Table of Contents to jumps to the section that interests you. The top will bring you back to the Table of Contents
