News
Last week WordPress turned eighteen, or roughly 6,575 days old. As of last year, the open source platform made its fortieth version release and currently powers forty percent of the web, according to recent data from W3 Tech. But that’s not WordPress’ sole accomplishment. According to the same statistics, the open source CMS powers 51% of the top thousand websites. Plus, its market share has been steadily increasing over the past decade.
To celebrate its birthday and these recent gains, the WordPress community has had parties, shared data, and told its story to the public.

Drupal Adds a New Member to Its Conflict Resolution Team
Over the past year, the Drupal Community Working Group (CWG) has expanded to include a Community Health Team (CHT). The CHT is responsible for the community, solving user issues, and building a strong user community. This expansion has resulted in the CWG adding a new member to its Conflict Resolution Team.
One of the goals of the Community Health Team was to provide an on-ramp to the Conflict Resolution Team (CRT) and formalize the onboarding process. Ultimately, this would make it easier for the CRT to add additional members in the future and for contributors to participate in making the Drupal community more sustainable for all members.

As part of TYPO3’s commitment to its community, they want to hear the voice of every person and organization using the platform. Rather than making decisions based on what the board of executives would want, the open source CMS is looking for more people to join the Innovation Initiative so that their decisions represent a broad, cross-section of the community.
To make that happen, they are calling developers and members of the community to participate in the Innovation Initiative and help create a better, more inclusive platform for all.
