This is the official blog for the core development team of the WordPress open source project. Follow our progress with weekly meeting agendas, project schedules, and the occasional code debate.
Would it be possible to insist, over at onswipe, that they add a “never show this crappy theme” link on WP.com? And if not, would it be possible to disable the thing on this blog, if not on WP.com altogether by default?
I hate to be bursting on this blog in particular, but it’s the last WP.com I’m still following on my iPad… You guys (as in WP.com) have serious problems ahead if your goal is eye balls, and nonetheless stick with onswipe.
On a seperate note, there’s a severe bug when writing comments on iOS5 with a 1st gen iPad on this blog. I’ve no idea if it’s iPad or WP related but the comment box’ size toggles between 3 and 10 lines as I’m writing.
Of course this is not the place to discuss OnSwipe, but I wholeheartedly agree with Denis. OnSwipe is so unusable it beggars belief that it gets implemented anywhere, let alone on the entire WP.com network.
@Jane: Would it be possible to disable OnSwipe for iPad for this blog please? It’s under Appearance -> iPad.

If it didn’t jump out at you, some help with the accessibility and RTL fixes would great, even if it’s just doing QA the fixes the core team has made.

Will the 3.2.2 remaining tickets be considered?

Surely the place for this report would be wp.com support, not the open source project’s core dev team blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/
