The Four Phases of Gutenberg
- Easier Editing — Already available in WordPress, with ongoing improvements
- Customization — Full Site editing, Block Patterns, Block Directory, Block based themes

- Multi-lingual — Core implementation for Multi-lingual sites
We’re currently in Phase 2. Parts of FSE will be in WordPress 5.8, more in WordPress 5.9
The development work is done on the Gutenberg plugin in GitHub. There you’ll find Projects, Issues, Pull Requests as well as the code and developer documentation.
It’s not particularly easy to find the detailed requirements for a specific component.
