The Gutenberg project is a reimagination of the way we manage content on the web.

In 2021 and 2022, we focused on merging Site Editing (Phase 2) into WordPress. This introduced the Site Editor and a suite of editing capabilities that enable leveraging blocks for use across an entire website. Phase 3 is Collaborative Editing, also known as Workflows given its implementation of features for workflows and real-time collaboration. <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/core\/features\/\">Check out the Feature Projects Overview page<\/a> for more information on site editing, its components, and other active feature work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To support the vision set in the latest <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/2023\/12\/state-of-the-word-2023-recap\/\">State of the Word<\/a>, the project has the following <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/project\/2024\/01\/19\/big-picture-goals-2024\/\">big picture goals<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/core\/\">Test, iterate, and ship<\/a> Phase 3 of the Gutenberg project.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Continue to support the community through <a href=\"https:\/\/learn.wordpress.org\/\">learning<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/events.wordpress.org\/\">events<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/make.wordpress.org\/community\/tag\/mentorship-program\/\">mentorship<\/a> of current and future contributors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Address the difficulty in moving platforms through the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/news\/2024\/01\/data-liberation-in-2024\/\">Data Liberation project<\/a>, as well as streamline existing review processes across project repositories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to get involved?
