The TYPO3 Best Practices Team gathered for another Remote Day. This time Karsten Nowak and Felix Althaus joined the team members Oliver Klee and Bernd Sengupta. We focused on some long-standing issues with the Tea Example (tea) extension, as well as TYPO3 v13 compatibility and some work on GitHub CI actions.

About the Best Practices Team

The team currently provides the Tea example (tea) extension, which serves as an example on how to write an Extbase extension following best practices. The main focus is on automated tooling for higher quality. This involves testing, static code analysis, CI and more. The long goal is to attract more people to join the team and also focus on other best practice areas.

Collaboration in action

The remote day happened within the TYPO3 Slack channel of the team. We gathered for an initial kick-off huddle then jumped into the concrete open tasks. Some worked together, some worked by themselves.

We switched to using runTests.sh for prepare-release, PHP linting and code quality checks in GitHub. Also we cleaned up the GitHub actions and created a bug report issue template.

We invite everyone to join our remote days, happening on the first Monday of each month. Our next Remote Day will be on Monday, 2 June at 11:00 Europe/Berlin time. We will meet in our TYPO3 Slack channel #best-practice-team. Check out our Regular Remote Day page to find out all the details.
