The final wording on the Call-out inviting WordPress WP-Admin users to try Gutenberg is “A new, modern WordPress publishing experience is coming soon”. If all goes well, the prompt will be released on July 31, 2018, with it’s offering of installing Gutenberg of the Classic Editor. In the meantime, the Gutenberg team released their next version, fixing a few APIs and adding more blocks and additional attribute to video and audio blocks. Various block bearing plugins received updates as well and we discovered newly created blocks. Photos from Costa Rica and Boston: People at Gutenberg events.

Gutenberg Development
Version 3.3 was released July 20, 2018
“Most of the updates are around refining the experience and strengthening the API surface, new server rendered blocks added to the library, and multiple packages being extracted as the APIs mature,” summarized Matias Ventura (@matias_ventura) in his post

Milestone: Call Out.
The team is also focused on Milestone “Call out” – “Tasks that would be good to get sorted for the WordPress 4.9.8 admin notice.” – release date tentatively scheduled for July 25th, 2018, a few days before the Try Gutenberg prompts will be released in 4.8.9. In this week’s #core meeting, Tammie Lister left the door open for the team to punt again on the dashboard call out, should the blockers not be removed fast enough for the Release Candidate schedule for July 24, 2019.
Update: “Try Gutenberg” Call-out available in WordPress 4.9.8

I don’t understand why putting every widget into Gutenberg is considered necessary for the supposed MVP.

Scenario: You're writing a post in Gutenberg and the Autosaving text won't stop flashing as if it's stuck trying to Autosave. You continue to edit the post and finish it but it's still Autosaving. What do you do?

My concern with WordPress #Gutenberg is that WordPress core developers don't have anyone to nag them with the authoritative voice of the user.

Let me explain…
Five Stages of Gutenberg:
— John Eckman (@jeckman) July 22, 2018
– Denial: Gutenberg is not happening
– Anger: Why does the WordPress core team hate me?
– Bargaining: What if Gutenberg remains a plugin?
– Depression: Gutenberg is going to suck
– Acceptance: Time to start planning our Gutenberg rollout#wcbos
Plugins compatible with Gutenberg
Tested briefly @s2Member w/ Gutenberg: the Multi-Part shortcodes around text for logged in vs. anonymous user just work. So do the additional settings for membership levels in the sidebar. What have you found? #WordPress

Excellent job on this! I use the flexible content field on all pages and this is the first time it plays nice with Gutenberg, though I haven't done any extensive test yet.

Updated Blocks for Gutenberg editor #280 Blocks
Just dreaming here, but how cool would it be to be able to write blocks for @WordPress (#Gutenberg) like writing a custom element with @stenciljs?

The Gutenberg API seems so low-level at the moment, but a tool like this (Punchcutter?) could make it so much more approachable. pic.twitter.com/XUR9s8tIcq

WordPress' Gutenberg includes Shared Blocks.
— Polycot Associates (@polycotscoop) July 20, 2018
It's like a template – creating an identical content block in all instances of that shared block. https://t.co/tGZlSzn27x https://t.co/tGZlSzn27x
