Welcome to Data Liberation! This section provides a brief overview of the project and its goals.
This 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. Rather than each person or organization needing to figure out a migration pathway, the WordPress community is coming together to provide scripts, plugins, and guides for us all to use to bring folks to WordPress. The outcome will be community-owned plugins and resources accessible for all. Everyone is welcomed to share their knowledge and creations to facilitate others' transitions to WordPress and within WordPress.
Join others working on this effort in #data-liberation. Ask questions, share how you'd like to help, and help others get started.
A great way to get started is to check tracking issues which cover the main focus areas of the project.
- Migrating from third-party platforms to WordPress
- Migrating between Editors and Core/Third Party Blocks
- Improving WordPress’ Import/Export format (WXR)
- Migration Guides
