Comment (by marybaum):

 Replying to [comment:13 chanthaboune]:

 After tonight we'll know what exactly got in and what we punted to 5.9. It
 might be helpful to put together a brief outline called variously a
 message strategy or creative brief — I've been using variations on the
 same one for a very long time.

 (36 years, but who's counting?)

 Here's a writeup that appeared a few years ago on the subject:
 https://www.clickz.com/the-creative-brief-mystery-solved/69225/

 Another great resource is the dev-notes spreadsheet from the Docs team.
 I"m under the impression that @milana_cap has one going already! In
 general, if a feature has a dev note, it's got potential as an item to
 feature for devs (and possibly also users!)

 And now, back to the release!


 > WordPress 5.8 reached the beta 1 milestone today, so it's time to start
 actively working on the About page. There are a few tasks we will want to
 split up:
 >
 > 1. Write a draft of the copy.
 >      a. Here's a Google Doc for easy collaboration/feedback gathering
 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zgIr6IxmtfVvUiNN-UFNKMOFF0RtIkmrk-
 nGpzQAYRY/edit
 >      b. Here is the list of known headline items (TERMS NOT FINAL)
 >           * Template Editing Mode
 >           * Query Block
 >           * 20+ Theme blocks
 >           * Persistent List View
 >           * Block based Widgets Editor
 >           * Block themes based on Theme.json
 >           * Loading Patterns from the Pattern directory
 >           * Block Pattern suggestion in Placeholders
 >           * Duotone filter block supports
 >           * Pattern transformations
 >      c. I think we still need some suggestions for what to include in
 the developer happiness section and any suggestions for delightful user-
 facing items.
 > 2. Start the design, and identify any additional images needed.
 >      a. I could use a designer or two who want to collaborate on this!
 >
 >
 > Next Steps?
 > I think the next steps are for me to drop over to Marketing and Design
 with a note that this collaborative opportunity is available.
