Add Gutenberg to WordCamp Sites

Let's increase the dogfood that we eat.

I like the idea of facilitating organizers' using Gutenberg, but would this add to the WordCamp.org maintenance burden?

@andreamiddleton I don't think the added maintenance burden would be that big, simply because it's being worked on so much right now by Core people and other trusted developers. Bugs and security issues get fixed quickly. The biggest issue would probably be keeping it up to date since there is a new release almost every week.

Could it be done as an svn external to ​http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/gutenberg/trunk/ so that whenever it's updated in the plugin repo, the next deploy of the wordcamp code includes the latest version?

I was thinking about that after I left my previous comment. It looks like the trunk ​usually only gets commits at the same time that a new version is tagged, so it should be relatively stable.

It looks like the list table links to edit posts using Gutenberg are added for every post type. Most of the custom post types on WC sites (speakers, sponsors, sessions, tickets, attendees, etc.) use a lot of meta boxes that aren't available in the Gutenberg UI. And many a couple of them also don't really use post_content. We would probably want to add a filter or something that would limit Gutenberg to posts and pages.
