Let's get this in core
Glad to read this, as it means I'm not alone. I've been questioning this too, and implemented it with "return = line break" in wordpress.org/plugins/ai-ser….
I was a bit worried people would complain about the opposite, but hasn't happened so far, and it's good to get this validation.

To be clear, AQL surpassed 2000 installs. It didn’t break any sites! 😂
Over my holiday break, my Advanced Query Loop plugin broke 2000 installs!
A huge thanks to those that are using it!

Experimenting with AI-assisted WordPress development is pretty much all I've been doing over the past few weeks.
Currently, @cursor_ai is my platform of choice, and I have put together a little primer on my setup. Curious what everyone else is using...

Pretty big! GoDaddy just invested a half-million dollars in the WordPress community through a donation to The WP Community Collective, an initiative focused on funding and empowering WordPress contributors.

So... We've acquired Post Status and then immediately handed it off to a new, non profit, foundation (I'm in that foundation too, of course, but not alone):

Making sure @post_status keeps on being available for the community.

The AI Services plugin version 0.4.0 is now available, including a new major feature: The AI Playground allows you to explore the available AI services and their capabilities through a dedicated UI.
I recorded a walkthrough video of the AI Playground: youtu.be/V64UmOK_iLU

So @photomatt - I saw the post by @automattic.
I'm ready to lead the next releases. I am sure plenty of people and companies are willing to help me and we've got plenty of ideas on what we should be doing.

I've been mostly quiet, other than publicly pausing my WordPress Core contributions. That ends today.
I stand with @jdevalk and @karimmarucchi for the "hold this community together" effort.
Publicly sharing my support. Let me know how I can help.

Love his thoughts on how we can get these two together experiences to be similar and importance of apps to next generations.

A question I have always wanted to see asked @photomatt at #sotw is his thoughts on the mobile apps. They offer different editing experience to web and do not have all the features added by plugins like yoast or woo. I think this is massive disconnect for many users & is confusin

Exciting news! 📢@desrosj from our team will present an informative session with Aaron Jorbin on how contributors worked round the clock to remove a bug at the time when WordPress 6.4 was released.
If you're at @WordCampUS, be sure to attend!

It's a bit late, but I just updated my Slot Fill reference repo. This change updates the examples to match the changes in 6.6 as well as adds some examples to conditionally render slots.

Isn't it fun when you have a PR open to do a thing from A LONG TIME ago but a sponsored contributor opens something similar a few days ago and gets reviewed blazing fast and gets to merge it in first? 🤷🏽♀️ Why try? #WordPress github.com/WordPress/gutenbe…
