Add the WordPress Playground Block plugin
ndiego opened this issue · 7 comments
The Playground Block plugin registers a block that displays WordPress Playground instances in post content. The plugin is available in the WordPress.org repository and is maintained on GitHub by WordPress contributors.
Enabling the block on the developer.wordpress.org multisite will allow us to display code examples alongside live previews in Handbooks that are currently using blocks (like Themes). Instead of just presenting a code example, readers will be able to see the example in action and interact with the code. I believe this will improve the developer education experience for both extenders and Core contributors.
I am not sure what the vetting process is for new plugins on WordPress.org, so please let me know if additional information is needed. Also, if this issue should be opened in a different repo, or on Trac, I'm happy to move it.
The plugin is already installed on the network, and is already activated on Learn. Any reason not to activate on Developer too @dd32 @StevenDufresne ?
Should be fine to turn on.
It seems the plugin still hasn't completed an accessibility review, see https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C01KC5VDQBC/p1717035971866509?thread_ts=1717011768.294689&cid=C01KC5VDQBC
I've created a test page on the Learn staging site at https://learn.wordpress.org/test/wordpress-playground-block-plugin-test-page/ for this testing
cc @adamziel regarding the accessibility review discussion.
FYI we're using the block on Learn now. There is only 1 open a11y issue remaining on the board, which looks like it has been addressed, but not closed yet.
I think we're safe to activate this now.
I have now activated the Playground block plugin on developer.wordpress.org
