PHPUnit Test ToolsThe WordPress Tools for Hosting Providers project has been selected to participate on March 16-18, 2024 in the CloudFest Hackathon. For this reason, we have 5 goals for that date. The first is to leave a stable, functional, and documented version of the test-runner tool so that everyone works on that version. There is a PR #199 that establishes those changes and that base. It has been thoroughly tested and should serve as a basis so that the errors we have previously encountered are not there. The second is to do the same work that has been done on the test-runner but on the test-reporter so that we also have a more or less stable version to work on the plugin. The third is to leave documentation of the entire operation of the tools and how to set them up in a development environment, as well as how they can be tested (each tool will need its own explanation, since one is best to have a very "hosting" environment, and for the plugin, to have a WordPress development environment of its own). The fourth, which involves everyone, is to define a list of "what things we want the tools to have." In principle, there should be two lists, which must complement each other. One that executes the test-runner and allows executing "things", and the other of the test-reporter that collects all that and displays it on the screen, in addition to planning warnings. The fifth and last is to say that those who want to come to hack a bit, give a read to Come Hack with Us!. We look forward to seeing you March 16-18, 2024, especially to have a great time! Test Tools Office hours@javiercasares is working on these goals, and he will be available, and scrubbing tickets, on this agenda:

We as a hosting team can support there especially with insights of our customer base and how the domain movement is from one system to another. If you have some insights you can share, please go ahead.

🟢 Team Goals for 2024
We want your input on the goals we're planning for this team for 2024. There will soon be a post on our p2 about the goals, and you can already start brainstorming your ideas on this channel. Our main ideas are to focus on 4 areas:
🟢 WordPress Hosting Team event
We've met two weeks ago to discuss the ideas around the WordPress Hosting Team event, which is planned to take place the day before the Contributor Day of #wceu in 2024. You can expect more information soon.
Floating ideas:
When we have some OK from different parts involved, and we can start, officially, we will announce everything and start detailing more. We already have a location in Torino that would be available.
🟢 More Hosting Team topics
🟩 WP 6.5 and PHP compatibility
WordPress 6.5 is expected in early 2024 (2024-03-26), and we can already prepare us from the hosting site. Please make sure to always test the latest builds and help the community by providing feedback.
Let's make sure to have a compatibility and recommendation post around WordPress 6.5 on the release, with a focus on PHP 8.2 and 8.3 until then.
🟩 Team meetings
We don't have so much news to have 2 weekly meetings. The focus is to work more asynchronously.
But, there will be an exception. Each new major version, we will have a meeting the next day around 0900 UTC, probably with the WordPress N.N PHP Compatibility post related.
Dates are:
All the meetings will be announced at the Meetings site. You can subscribe to it (iCal Hosting.
🟩 Office hours
Same as we are working on reducing the weekly meetings, the focus for this 2024 is to increase the work on Documentation and Tools, and support for Hosting providers.
