CKEditor 4 has been a feature of Drupal core since Drupal 8.0.0. It is a stable project, but it will only receive security fixes for two more years (until Drupal 9's end-of-life). Replacing CKEditor with the new and very much improved CKEditor 5 is therefore a requirement for Drupal 10 to remain supported and secure. In order to release Drupal 10.0.0 on schedule in 2022, we need to have a new core CKEditor 5 module ready before Drupal 9.3.

A lot of the code you write, and inherit from other developers, will need to change for many reasons: Scope creep, changing requirements, or simple maintenance. Refactoring code is a necessary step in this process, but it doesn't have to be a daunting monolith task. In this session, Kay Thayer will cover:

  • Why we refactor, and why we don't refactor
  • The best time to refactor
  • How to refactor
  • Code smells and how to address them

This month, Salim Lakhani will give us a 15-20 min demo of DevPanel's latest release. The UI and functionality is similar to that of Pantheon, Acquia, and Platform.sh but the difference is that DevPanel deploys and manages all of the Drupal infrastructure and Dev, Test, Live sites in the user's own AWS accounts. For technologies, DevPanel is based on Kubernetes and uses Terraform and Ansible. Because DevPanel is more a "control panel" than a hosting provider, its business model and value proposition is very different.

When Drupal 8 introduced it's Layout Discovery API the manner in which Drupal websites were designed, built, and maintained drastically shifted. With that quickly came solutions like Layout Builder, Entity Reference with Layout, and Layout Paragraphs that allowed editors to not only manage the content on their websites, but to also manage that content's presentation. The potential of this newfound level of control means editors are now more in control of their online presence than they've ever been, but this flexibility isn't without it's own challenges.
