Suggest items for dev chat agenda for Ju…

Welcome!

The WordPress coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. development team builds WordPress! Follow this site for general updates, status reports, and the occasional code debate. There’s lots of ways to contribute:

Found a bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority.? Create a ticket in the bug tracker.
Want to contribute? Get started quickly with tickets marked as good first bugs for new contributors or join a bug scrub. There’s more on the reports page, like patches needing testing, and on feature projects page.
Other questions? Here is a detailed handbook for contributors, complete with tutorials.

So… the usual suspect raised by Hakre and myself — bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority. fixing + committercommitter A developer with commit access. WordPress has five lead developers and four permanent core developers with commit access. Additionally, the project usually has a few guest or component committers - a developer receiving commit access, generally for a single release cycle (sometimes renewed) and/or for a specific component. workflow. 🙂

  per Jane’s request… as in:
  - we really want to look into that huge bugbug A bug is an error or unexpected result. Performance improvements, code optimization, and are considered enhancements, not defects. After feature freeze, only bugs are dealt with, with regressions (adverse changes from the previous version) being the highest priority. list before we consider any serious new features
  - prioritization of what committers do, to leverage the community’s input — the less patchpatch A special text file that describes changes to code, by identifying the files and lines which are added, removed, and altered. It may also be referred to as a diff. A patch can be applied to a codebase for testing. contributors decide it’s not worth their time to wait for their patch to get reviewed and committed (or rejected) the better
  - more committers needed for the two above points (even though I understand Matt has strong opinions on this)
  - Alex (Viper007Bond) 10:09 pm on July 22, 2009
    
    I disagree about the need for more committers. Just because some other project does something one way doesn’t mean it’s best for us. We just need more people to say yay or nay to patches/tickets.
    
    That’s a discussion for next week though (but I’ll be missing it).

Are we allowed to bring up any subject for the agenda or does it have to be within realm of development discussions? For example, a topic I was going to suggest would be a way to clean up tags from the Popular Tags blockBlock Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. when you go to Plugins – Add New. Not sure why folks need to see the tags Plugins and then PluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party or Post then posts.

  The Theme directory had something similar done.. except it was manually normalised AFAIK (Well semi-normalized, tags were marked as aliases of others)
  
  Maybe a soundex-type setup could be used to group certain items..

  As it’s called the dev chat, we try to keep topics to development or development process stuff. The thing about cleaning up tags would be a valid topic since people would talk about how to clean it up, but from a UXUX User experience perspective, though I agree that removing near-dupes is desirable, I’m not sure about it… would rather see a broader discussion about this before bringing it into dev channel. Maybe start a discussion on hackers first?

I think we should talk about getting WordPress 3.0 into PHPPHP The web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 5.6.20 or higher 5.3.0+ min. PHP 4 is not supported anymore and we need to think about getting the code into a object based for speed and security.

  i think PHPPHP The web scripting language in which WordPress is primarily architected. WordPress requires PHP 5.6.20 or higher 5.2 is more realistic since most providers still run on that

Better MetaMeta Meta is a term that refers to the inside workings of a group. For us, this is the team that works on internal WordPress sites like WordCamp Central and Make WordPress. APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways.: Been beating it to a pulp on wp-hackers.

Ideas forum. I’ve been cleaning out old threads and closing implemented suggestions, but need some help on the more technical suggestions as to whether they are still valid, can be done by pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party, etc. Will ask for a couple of volunteers during chat to help out over next week or two. I closed about 260 threads last night, down from 26 pages of threads to 13, so with a few helpers, should be not too much of a pain. Once it’s cleaned out and holding current Ideas for debate, will start a few upgrades to forum to make it easier to use.
