WordCamp Staging Environments #1092

Open StevenDufresne opened 11 months ago

StevenDufresne commented 11 months ago

WordCamp organizing teams currently don't have the ability to test changes. The current workaround is to manually create a dummy site.

@iandunn suggested that we try WP-Playground. We aren't sure whether this is feasible though.

@StevenDufresne If by "changes" you mean "pull requests", this PR previewer should just work:

https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-playground/pull/700

If you mean something else, what do you mean?

Changes to WordCamp website, i.e. styles, content etc that is typically done in separate staging environment of the website.

I'd love to see staging available for all. At the same time, it's a tedious task to get done in a proper way with everything related to profile notifier, ticket sales, budget tools... and the way of managing the actual content changes between production and staging.

I think we should first identify the actual problems that staging would solve and what organisers would like to achieve with it. Maybe we should open an discussion on Community P2?

The actual needs might drastically affect solutions that are worth considering.

@timiwahalahti That's a good call. I don't know if we need to recreate the whole environment and all the plugins. From the feedback I have gathered, organizers want to test design-related changes.

I can spin up a Community P2 post.
