WordPress is continually under development. Currently, work is underway on Phase 2 of the Gutenberg project. The Gutenberg project is a reimagination of the way we manage content on the web. Its goal is to broaden access to web presence, which is a foundation of successful modern businesses. Phase 1 was the new block editor, which was released in WordPress 5.0, you can see that in action here. In 2021 we were focusing on merging full site editing (Phase 2) into WordPress which brings block editing to the entire site, not just posts and pages. For more information on full site editing, its components, and other active feature work, check out the Feature Projects Overview page.
For 2022 the project has some big picture goals, as outlined in this post:
- Drive adoption of the new WordPress editor – Following WordPress 5.9, our focus will be driving user adoption by making full site editing (and its tools) easy to find and use.
- For the CMS – Get high quality feedback, ensure actionable tickets come from the feedback with collaboration from design as needed, and ship code that solves our users’ most pressing needs.
- Invite more users and extenders to participate in the FSE Outreach program (10–12 calls for testing).
- Host regular design-driven user testing (one test a week).
- For the Community – Share our knowledge and resources in a way that inspires and motivates our users to action.
- Invite more users and extenders to augment their skills through LearnWP.
- Turn routine support issues into new evergreen content (10–15 pieces of canonical content using Learn, Docs, WordPress.org, etc).
- Translate high impact user-facing content across Rosetta sites (15–20 locales).
- Host audience-specific WordPress events (10–12 by common language, interest, or profession).
- For the Ecosystem – Prioritize full site editing tools and content across the ecosystem for all users.
- Highlight block themes and plugins in the directories.
- Provide tools/training to learn how to build block themes.
- Improve the block developer experience.
- For the CMS – Get high quality feedback, ensure actionable tickets come from the feedback with collaboration from design as needed, and ship code that solves our users’ most pressing needs.

장기 로드맵
Phase 2 of Gutenberg won’t be finished when it’s merged into WordPress. The work to gather feedback and iterate based on user needs will continue after WordPress 5.8 is released. As a reminder, these are the four phases outlined in the Gutenberg project:
