I had the meeting with an employee from WordPress/Automattic. We had already chatted via email to set up the meeting and it was nice to chat in person. In my opinion, he asked very relevant questions and also took the time to hear me out. I mentioned all the points I had noted down as well as the suggestions I got from you guys on my last post about the meeting. The meeting was related to themes and in particular the new feature of making/creating your own themes. But he heard me out about other suggestions I had too that were not theme related. Shoutout to James for the great meeting!
Overall, I think the meeting was very productive and I was able to properly talk to him about how I think WordPress can be improved. Now, whether or not they implement my suggestions is up to them. I’m just glad they took the time to listen which is something I think they didn’t do enough of in the past. But it seems they are trying to turn over a new leaf and do a better job of connecting with users and asking for feedback instead of randomly implementing changes that we have no say in. I think this is a great step in the right direction and can only hope they continue to take their users seriously. As much as we need this platform, they need us too. So, I think it needs to be a give and take where we try to cooperate with one another.
