There are only <strong>45 days</strong> until the Gutenberg disaster occurs. Even core WP developers are asking for Matt Mullenweg to push back this timeline, but he is pushing forward regardless.</p> <h2> Gutenberg is NOT ready! </h2> <p><a href="https://www.classicpress.net">ClassicPress</a> is a hard fork of WordPress without Gutenberg. Our vision is to be the business-focused CMS (Powerful. Versatile. Predictable.)</p> <p>We've made enormous progress, but <strong>we need help to get ClassicPress out before WordPress v5.0</strong>.</p> <p>If you're a developer who can spare a few hours, please join us in the "core" channel on Slack and make yourself known.
