So a survey of the WordPress editor in 2016 could be integrated with the URI <code class=\"lang-markup\">https:\/\/example.com\/surveys\/wordpress-editor-2016\/<\/code>. This approach could be used for things like galleries, forms, and any external resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Benefits of this solution are, among other things, that the concept of \u00bblinks\u00ab is already known by many users and URIs are designed for this purpose. You can find more information about that, also about the challenges, in Ella\u2019s post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Plugins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remove plugin from directory<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a plugin in the directory which is useless for some reason, you can send an email to the plugin team, and they will close the plugin. If you think your plugin has its use, but you cannot or do not want to support it anymore, you can add the tag adopt-me in the readme. Maybe the plugin will then find a new home (on <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/tags\/adopt-me\">wordpress.org\/plugins\/tags\/adopt-me<\/a> is a list of plugins looking for a new home).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meta<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New WordPress.org homepage design is live<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/florianbrinkmann.com\/3116\/wordpress-wochenrueckblick-kw-50-redesign-der-wordpress-org-startseite-und-mehr\/\">I wrote about the plans for a new homepage design in the last weekly recap<\/a>, and now it\u2019s already live on <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/\">WordPress.org<\/a>.
