WordPress 3.6 Planning Session
I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays! We’re back to our regularly scheduled IRC meetings tomorrow, and are going to start by scoping and planning out the 3.6 cycle. Wednesday, Jan 2, 21:00 UTC. Please make every effort to attend! The theme I’m proposing for 3.6 is “Content Editing”, so especially start thinking about editing, editorial workflows, revisions, autosave, DFW, etc. Also be thinking about what you’d like to work on and how much time you can commit this cycle.

I plan to be there, Mark! Looking to be an excellent release. I like the proposed theme. Depending what it ends up looking like, I imagine features for this version will be very relevant for me.

this seems way more handy than the gallery functionality as it covers every single user and would lead to performance and UX improvement. Very exciting.

I hope to attend but will miss the first of the meetup. After discussing the multisite roadmap at WPCS I went through most of the multisite tickets. For 3.6 I think it would be good if we went through and cleaned up some of the small enhancements and UX inconsistencies. I’ll have a few hours a week throughout most of the 3.6 cycle to work on those items.

As far as the custom fields and custom meta boxes go, I would like to see extendable form elements in WordPress similar to the extendable widgets. There should be a base form element class that all other form elements can extend, allowing for all form elements in the custom meta boxes to be generated using built in WordPress elements like, date picker, color picker, editor, etc. This would include input validation and all the sql validation as well. I have added something similar to this in the KickPress plugin that is in the plugin repository. (http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/kickpress/trunk/kickpress-form-elements.php)

Thanks Mark for your dedication. When you say “Content Editing” does that include looking into the_excerpt lenght . For example if the_excerpt could accept two variables, say the_excerpt ($length, $more) so that you can assign different lenght for different categories like so: the_excerpt (“50″, “more”), or the_excerpt (“25″ “read more”), etc. That may help CMS part of WP (like E-commerce, Newpaper themes etc).
