django CMS Fellowship - June Update

5 minutes read

Releases

  • Djangocms-text 0.1.3: Fixed a bug that was raised when no text-enable plugins were installed

Contributions

  • In June, we had 10 pull requests, 4 of those to the django CMS core, and 2 to djangocms-snippet.
  • Vipulnarang95 contributed 3 out of the 10 pull requests.
  • I am excited to greet four new contributors: ls-app, Richard Cooke, florianRepenn, and hgkornmann had their first contribution to the django CMS organization! Welcome on board!

Finally, let me remark that a lot more work has been done in June, but not (yet) merged:

  • @Jacob and myself are looking to improve performance for large-scale installations (>10.000 pages)
  • Quite a bit of progress has been made to run django CMS headlessly (see ⁠#headless on Discord)
  • Re-usable custom components are coming to djangocms-frontend, e.g., for use with tailwind css.
