I’m confused here. Why isn’t WordPress suitable for these organisations in the first place? Surely with the addition of Gutenberg, everything an independant news publication would need is available (or nearly) at least. I’m not sure another CMS is what we all need, but I’m at least interested to see how this project pans out.

Even though it’s ‘open source’, will it be developed in the open with input from individuals (like me?) or will it be solely developed by the Orgs that have pitched in money? A strange move for sure from Automattic all things considered.
