Hi everyone. Are you ready for a new default theme? I am. And, now it’s almost ready.
I submitted a .9 release of Twenty Twelve today—see http://themes.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9199. Theme Check had a few warnings, I noted the reasoning for those in the Trac ticket notes.
If you have some time this weekend could you go through it? We’ve been cranking on it in core a ton and now it’s time for spit and polish, tightening up documentation, and making sure we covered all the bases.
Note for themes Trac moderators: This theme should not be pushed live after it’s approved, per instructions from the core development team.

So we should be testing Twenty Twelve on WP 3.4.1 and/or WP 3.5 trunk?

Both would be great.

Brilliant, Lance! Very much looking forward to this new theme

I love it. Already found an issue.

Thanks Chantal—and welcome.

Has everyone had a chance to take a look and test?
Today we’re pushing the theme live on WordPress.com and in the announcement it’d be nice to be able to link to Extend for any self-hosted folks who want to try it out before 3.5 officially comes out.

Update: after discussion with Nacin and Matt some more here’s the game plan for releasing to WP.org Extend, soon-ish (say 2-3 weeks).
1. WPTRT continues to review it and test it, then an admin there approves the theme without pushing it live so it has gone through a round of theme review. Keeping it version .9 as we find bugs and fix them.
2. Come up with a RC version, say .9.x — Lance will keep submitting to Themes Trac with new test candidates
3. Nacin will handle letting the core contributor group know, via http://make.wordpress.org/core/ site that we’d like to do a formal launch very soon
4. Then dot the “i”s and cross the “t”s and make sure it is ready for a final WP.org release.
At that point we’ll submit a new ZIP with the 1.0 final and that one can be pushed live for everyone, with a possible announcement on WP.org news blog at that point (exact details TBD on how to announce).
