- Data Liberation
Join the discussion in #data-liberation on Making Slack, or in the Data Liberation GitHub repository.
The Data Liberation project imagines a more open web where users can seamlessly switch between platforms of their choosing, eradicating the concept of being locked into a system and keeping openness at the forefront. Moving to and within WordPress should be a one-click easy process as much as possible whether moving from social networks, moving from a page builder to core blocks, or shifting from the classic editor to the block editor.
As web hosts, agencies, and individual contributors – we can work to make Data Liberation a reality.
