Windows Phone

Work is proceeding on version 1.9 with an early January target for submitting to the store.  The big items for this release are improvements to the post/page content editor and the addition of featured images.  There are extensive changes in this release so we’ll take some extra time for testing before we submit.

Forum and dev blog migration heads up

We mentioned the planned migration of the mobile forums and dev blogs.  @Nacin dropped by to comment that the dev blog migration might begin before the forums and the start date might be the week after next depending on how the holidays go.  The todo list https://make.wordpress.org/mobile/2012/12/19/plan-for-migrating-mobile-dev-blogs-and-forums/ is still valid, just maybe reordered a bit.

Mobile Handbooks

We’re not sure what the timeline for having these ready looks ilke or what might be blocking us from starting.  We have a todo of answering these questions.

Next week

Join us for the next weekly chat Wednesday at 1600 UTC on irc.freenode.net in the #WordPress-Mobile room.
