   ### **GatherPress Block Updates & Migration**

   * New event query loop block replaces event list block
   * More adaptable template system, maintains familiar look initially
   * Dimmed blocks indicate non-applicable content (e.g., online event for venue-based events)
   * UX could improve with toggle-style indicators
   * Next steps for Alpha 2:
   * Replace V2 blocks, write migration script
   * Delete obsolete code components
   * Clean up repository

   ### **User Testing Strategy**

   * Power users in Slack: Sean (Detroit, has staging) and Chris (Germany, production only)
   * Plan: Share Alpha builds with staging users for pre-release bug testing
   * Community showcase: Pin user sites in Slack, add to [gatherpress.org](http://gatherpress.org/)

   ### **Recurring Events Planning**

   * Technical approach: Programmatic solution storing minimal data, reusing base event info
   * UI concept: New “Recurring Settings” panel with toggle and time frame options
   * Multiple GitHub requests for this feature
   * Could integrate with AI event creation workflow
