• Team Update: Browsing Buddies

  Posted: February 29, 2012, 8:11 am by Helen Hou-Sandi

  @getsource and I did some in-person hacking at WordCamp Phoenix over the weekend. New patch on #19816 for multiple screenshots that seems good to go in as a first pass after a JS sanity check and probably an update to using .data() instead of .attr() tomorrow before dev chat. Will definitely need some UI/UX once [...]

• Team Update: Twenty Twelve

  Posted: February 28, 2012, 8:51 am by Lance Willett

  We’re digging in full bore to get things done by freeze. #19978 is the primary ticket. Tasks that need to happen by Wed Feb 29: Finish the styling (Drew) CSS file cleanup (Lance) RTL stylesheet Editor stylesheet The last big missing piece for styling is post formats. Update Wed Feb 29: see my comment below.

• Team Gandalf Update

  Posted: February 27, 2012, 1:04 am by Daryl Koopersmith

  Last week marked the end of our second cycle and the beginning of our sprint to get things done. We began by doing just that: last Friday, we merged the theme customizer into core. There’s still quite a bit to do and polish, so please keep that in mind. Development is being trac(k)ed at #19910. [...]

  Posted: February 24, 2012, 6:24 am by Joseph Scott

  Team Update: Bugs-RPC Unfortunately nothing happened for us this cycle. Since I will be out for awhile starting in a few days it has been proposed that the two XML-RPC teams be merged together.

  Posted: February 22, 2012, 10:07 pm by Jane Wells

  Also, we are getting close to freeze. It’s abou that time in the release cycle when I go through all the tickets and find things I really wish we’d gotten to in this cycle. If there are any developers interested in contributing but not already working working on a team or specific ticket, you could [...]

  Posted: February 22, 2012, 9:58 pm by Jane Wells

  In addition to the usual program of check-ins, questions, and strategy in today’s dev chat, I’d like to carve out a few minutes at the end to talk GSoC. I’ll probably start putting together our application this weekend to be a mentoring organization, and will need to know who we’ve got on tap for mentoring [...]

• Team Update: Browsing Buddies

  Posted: February 22, 2012, 7:55 am by Helen Hou-Sandi

  @getsource (DH-Shredder) spent some more time over the past week working with @dkoopersmith refining the infinite scroll JS for #19815, which was committed earlier today. We briefly discussed having more results/pagination for some of the other theme-install.php tabs with @nacin (requires changes on the API end), as well as the recurring thought that perhaps the [...]

• Team Update: Twenty Twelve

  Posted: February 20, 2012, 12:00 am by Lance Willett

  We are still plugging away at theme styles and related code changes. See the task list on our last update for the exact things we’re working on and who’s working on what. I’ll keep that list updated as we continue to crank on the theme. You can also follow along in the main Trac ticket: [...]

• Team Gandalf Update

  Posted: February 16, 2012, 5:59 am by Daryl Koopersmith

  Yesterday marked the halfway point of our second cycle. We’re moving along at a steady clip. The main goal for the coming week is to tie up any loose ends and begin integrating the plugin into core. Until then, follow our progress at #19910 and in the plugin repo. We’ve made considerable progress in the [...]

• Results of 2/15 Dev Meeting

  Posted: February 16, 2012, 12:40 am by Andrew Nacin

  The teams and status document has been updated to reflect current cycles. Yesterday’s dev meeting focused on identifying issues pertaining to blockers and resources, and whether any adjustments or corrections needed to be made, across all teams. As I didn’t keep a general summary, you may find the log is here. I did take notes [...]

• Team Update: Headerators

  Posted: February 16, 2012, 6:14 pm by Aaron D. Campbell

  We’ve pretty much wrapped up flexible headers (#17242) for both width and height. We’re currently reviewing a patch on #19840 and hope to have that finished this cycle. Our next project will be to work with Team Gandalf to help integrate flexible headers into their theme preview.

• Team Update: Browsing Buddies

  Posted: February 15, 2012, 8:55 pm by Mike Schroder

  Our first cycle ended successfully on the 9th, with a first patch for Infinite Scroll on Themes screens (#19815) committed on time. The task for our next cycle is Multiple Screenshots for Themes (#19816), and helenyhou has been spending time creating comps.  Additional comps still welcomed at Make UI. The rest of the time was spent [...]

• Team update: Editorial

  Posted: February 14, 2012, 9:53 am by Andrew Ozz

  The first cycle finished yesterday. First run patch for supporting HTML in image captions is on #18311. Includes handling of the HTML in both editors and basic UI for inserting a link in the image properties tab in the gallery. For the second cycle: testing, refining and committing HTML support for image captions, finishing up [...]

• Team Update: Twenty Twelve

  Posted: February 13, 2012, 6:20 am by Lance Willett

  We are currently plugging away at fixing up missing styles around the new theme. r19915 brings in several of these style fixes and related template changes (see #19978). Next up is more of the same, including styling comments, handling the main navigation gracefully in small screens, styling all the default widgets, and styling the basic [...]

• Team Update Bugs RPC Our first cycle closed…

  Posted: February 13, 2012, 6:09 pm by Joseph Scott

  Team Update: Bugs-RPC Our first cycle closed on Friday. Only three of the original tickets on our list have been committed so far, with others at various steps closer to commit readiness. The plan for our second cycle is to continue wrap on our original ticket list. If that completes with time left over we’ll [...]

• Team Update: XML-RPC – Taxonomies and Terms

  Posted: February 11, 2012, 11:44 am by Peter Westwood

  Team Update: XML-RPC (Friday) We finished our first cycle last week and the implementation of the CRUD functions for Posts (and all Custom Post Types) has been committed to trunk see #18429 for more info. For our second cycle we decided to focus on CRUD for Taxonomies and Terms taking the patches from GSOC and [...]

• Team update: Multisite Mavens

  Posted: February 10, 2012, 10:11 pm by Pete Mall

  Apologies for the late update. I’ve been sick for the better of the week. Our cycle ended on Wednesday and we are on track with everything. Autocomplete for username/emails is in trunk for the site-new and site-user screens in the network admin and the user-new screen in the site admin. The autocomplete in the user-new [...]

• Team Gandalf Update

  Posted: February 9, 2012, 1:57 am by Daryl Koopersmith

  Our first cycle ended yesterday, and all is well. Follow along with the fun at #19910 in the plugin repo. Dominik (ocean90) and I have implemented a base UI, and have properly sandboxed both the theme preview and the customization controls. Only the target theme can alter the controls/preview, the preview can be independently refreshed, [...]

• Team update: Tableteers

  Posted: February 9, 2012, 11:36 pm by Andrew Ozz

  Cycle ending on February 22. (George Stephanis and Zach Abernathy) 1. Admin Left Nav Menu Scroll Independently ( Enhancement ) The idea is for the Main Left Nav to scroll independently of the body, and metaboxes on the right to create the most usable interface for tablet users. This will create more of an “app” [...]

• Team Update: Gardening

  Posted: February 9, 2012, 9:48 pm by Ryan Boren

  duck_ finished the rewrite tickets that were in our sights and moved on to import/export. The WP_Query improvements might land soon (#18536). I want to do some more testing with memcached first. The ajax code reorg is done (#15327). A few variable scope related bugs were fixed. Unit tests added. post_content_filtered is now the same [...]

  Posted: February 9, 2012, 2:22 pm by Jane Wells

  If someone who’s not already on a team wanted to take a stab at #16434, that would be awesome. @aaronjorbin: what are you up to?

• Team Update i18n Our first two week cycle…

  Posted: February 8, 2012, 9:42 pm by Andrew Nacin

  Team Update: i18n Our first two-week cycle comes to a close. Very successful, with more than 20 tickets outright closed, and more in the pipeline or nearing completion. Some highlights since last week’s update: Fixed localization issues when a plugin calls wp_enqueue_script() too early. #19959, #11526 Fixed ajax calls for IDN domains (broken in IE [...]

• Team update: Browsing Buddies

  Posted: February 7, 2012, 4:36 am by Helen Hou-Sandi

  Current Cycle Focus: Themes Screen Infinite Scrolling (#19815); ends this Thursday, 2/9 This week we talked a bit about the UI/UX of it all and decided to hide pagination links if infinite scrolling is on. Latest patch on the ticket also moves the JS into the existing theme.js. Discussed with rboren and decided to raise [...]

• Team Update: Twenty Twelve

  Posted: February 6, 2012, 2:17 am by Lance Willett

  We are the team formerly known as “Twenty Twelve Two”—now three strong with Drew Strojny joining up for the 3.4 release cycle as the theme designer. Welcome Drew! What we’re calling our “first cycle” ends today with Drew delivering us the first working prototype with the basic layout in place. Matt committed it with r19842. [...]

  Posted: February 6, 2012, 7:29 pm by Joseph Scott

  Team Update: Bugs-RPC Realized this morning that we totally missed our Friday update, so I’m posting it now. Went over every ticket on our list for this cycle. All but two (and possibly a third) look commit ready. We’ll have a core dev give those a quick look. If that all passes then I’ll plan [...]

• GSoC time Google announced GSoC and I’m guessing…

  Posted: February 5, 2012, 9:03 am by Jane Wells

  GSoC time! Google announced GSoC and I’m guessing we’ll do it again, so roll call: who wants to be a GSoC mentor this year? Second: who wants to be the administrator? I’d like to get it off my plate if possible. Candidate should be able to keep track of dates, have good writing skills, be [...]

  Posted: February 4, 2012, 9:49 pm by Peter Westwood

  Team Update: XML-RPC (Friday) We made great progress this week continuing our focus on the major ticket for implementing wp.newPost (#18429) and working to keep the other bits of this API supporting the same formats. Our 2 week cycle ended on Friday and we are really close to having a patch ready for commit but [...]

• Team Gardening Update

  Posted: February 3, 2012, 11:21 pm by Ryan Boren

  Decided to allow small schema changes in this release so as to clear out some of the schema updates we’ve long considered. #19935 – Drop comment_approved index. It has been redundant for a long time. #17188 – Remove blog_id column from wp_options. It has never been used. We’re also considering: #19387 post_content_filtered should be longtext [...]

• Team Gandalf Update

  Posted: February 3, 2012, 10:49 pm by Daryl Koopersmith

  Wednesday marked the halfway point of our first iteration. The description of our current cycle can be found in #19910. Development is currently taking place in a plugin (you can find the repo here). For an overview of appearance improvements, see #19909. We’ve accomplished most of the initial goals for this cycle and are now [...]

  Posted: February 1, 2012, 10:56 pm by Andrew Nacin

  Team Update: i18n Technically, our cycle started today. Really though, a few of us have been hammering away at a pre-cycle cycle for the past week or so. What we’ve been doing is focusing on bugs and enhancements, some of them quite old, that will provide more targeted control to translators. Since Dion is back [...]

• Team Update – Headerators

  Posted: February 1, 2012, 9:31 pm by Aaron D. Campbell

  We focused on flexible headers this cycle (#17242). We have a patch that we think is ready for commit, which adds flexible height and width. We had Nacin and Mark Jaquith look at the patch, they made some recommendations that we integrated, and it seems ready to go into core for some testing. You can [...]

• Team Update: Multisite (Wednesday)

  Posted: February 1, 2012, 9:17 pm by Mark Jaquith

  I worked some more on the patch we had for #19810. The original patch had features that exceeded our original scope (namely: the ability to bulk-add users). I removed that, cleaned up the JS a bit, and we now have a patch that can probably go in and be iterated. [core.trac.wordpress.org] Next up is making [...]

• Team Update – Browsing Buddies

  Posted: February 1, 2012, 10:23 am by Mike Schroder

  Team Update – Browsing Buddies (Tuesdays) Current Cycle Focus: Themes Screen Infinite Scrolling (#19815) helenyhou: Created initial patch for hiding default theme details and displaying author on #19853.  Ported changes made on themes-list-table to theme-install-list-table.
