The last week and a half has been a combination of WordCamp Canada and some personal vacation on either side of it in Quebec City and Toronto. It was some much-needed family time before this summer comes to a close and everyone is back in school.

That hasn't stopped some new things from coming to The WP World, including new hosting page sorting, a new way to mark your WordCamp attendance, and the list of WordPress 6.6 contributors!

More info below 👇

🇨🇦 Did you attend WordCamp Canada, Whitley Bay, or any other events so far this year? Please take a moment to leave a rating for the event! 🇬🇧

New Features and Updates

🔃 Updated hosting page ordering: As was always the plan, the hosting page now weights the rating by number of ratings as well. Check out the hosting page to see the new order AND the weighted score for each host.

6️⃣ WordPress 6.6 contributors: A new WordPress release comes with a new page in the site showcasing all the contributors. Thank you to all these fine people who worked on "Dorsey"!

💰 WordCamp Sponsor attendees: In the past, you've been able to mark if you were an organizer, volunteer, speaker, or simply an attendee at a WordCamp. Now, you can also set if you were there on behalf of a sponsor.
