WooCommerce to Launch WC Blocks Extensibility Monthly Chat

WooCommerce is calling on its developer community to join a new monthly chat focused on WooCommerce block extensibility. The chat is being run as a three-month pilot program with different topics each month.

“During these sessions, we want developers to actively shape the future of WC Blocks by hearing what developers’ integrations need from us to be successful and get feedback on existing extensibility points,” WooCommerce developer advocate Stephanie Pi said.

In order to have the right engineers available for the sessions while testing out the format, the first three months will focus on the Cart and Checkout blocks. WooCommerce developers have recently been attempting to solicit feedback on Cart and Checkout block performance on GitHub, though few have weighed in on the topic so far. This monthly chat may provide a more casual way to get extensibility issues on the WooCommerce team’s radar.

The first session will be held in the #developers channel on the WooCommerce Community Slack on Monday, February 13, at 1600 UTC. At the end of the pilot program, WooCommerce will evaluate whether it’s a good use of the community’s time and if the monthly chats should be continued.
