  Yeah I’m dieing to get this in. The latest discussion in that ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. actually relates to which JSJS JavaScript, a web scripting language typically executed in the browser. Often used for advanced user interfaces and behaviors. files should be overwritable in the bundled themes, which I think could/should go into a separate ticket.

Starting here there was a good discussion last week in #wordpress-dev about Twenty Twelve not supporting all the post formats. As it turns out, neither does Twenty Eleven, but Twelve supports fewer than Eleven.

The discussion ended up being whether or not the adminadmin (and super admin) interface should show all post formats regardless of which are supported by the current theme. I think we should discuss whether or not Twelve should support all the formats that Eleven does, and potentially the admin interface issue too.

Full list of projects: https://make.wordpress.org/core/wordpress-3-5-teams-and-tasks/

Things we need to discuss today:
- Theme screenshots — Do we add 2x JSJS JavaScript, a web scripting language typically executed in the browser. Often used for advanced user interfaces and behaviors. support, or just ask authors to ship a 2x’d image?
- Update button styles — #21598. Do we like these?
- CustomizerCustomizer Tool built into WordPress core that hooks into most modern themes. You can use it to preview and modify many of your site’s appearance settings. accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) — #21283. We need someone on this.
- Visible :focus in adminadmin (and super admin) screens — #21324. Where are we? We need resources here.
- Screen Options/Help — #21583. Do we like these? We need to make sure we have resources in place if so.
- XML-RPC User management — What should we actually include in 3.5?
- Standard post type UIUI User interface for attachments — #21391. How are we doing?
- Plupload changes — Anyone want to play with Plupload?
- New media workflow needs people for integration and testing. By the time we get to this in the agenda, @koopersmith will have spawned a number of TracTrac An open source project by Edgewall Software that serves as a bug tracker and project management tool for WordPress. tickets.

  Based on feedback above, adding:
  - theme_url() — #18302
  - Twenty Twelve post formats.
  #21796 is a standard 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. we need to fix; no need for it to be part of the meeting.

  Sorry, also:
  - Retina uploads, backgrounds, headers, featured images. #21455, #21389, #21038.

Thinking we should add the search improvement tickets #7394 and #21688 for 3.5 too. That’s a “low-hanging” thing that would improve searching in WordPress a lot. Can be moved later to 3.6 if they don’t work well or take too much time.

Suggestion : improvement in “sealing” (étanchéité in french) of ” global” var $wp_rewrite between sites in multisitemultisite Used to describe a WordPress installation with a network of multiple blogs, grouped by sites. This installation type has shared users tables, and creates separate database tables for each blog (wp_posts becomes wp_0_posts). See also network, blog, site context – see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/21219 when switching to another blogblog (versus network, site). This purpose opens the general question of global vars in WP architecture.

I’ve mentioned it before but I’ll mention it again – accessibilityAccessibility Accessibility (commonly shortened to a11y) refers to the design of products, devices, services, or environments for people with disabilities. The concept of accessible design ensures both “direct access” (i.e. unassisted) and “indirect access” meaning compatibility with a person’s assistive technology (for example, computer screen readers). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessibility) of Custom Menu builder – #21289. It’s currently not possible for those using screen readers to successfully create their own custom menus with a hierarchy that features anything other than top level items. As it relies on drag and drop it can also be fraught for sighted keyboard users unless they are familiar with mouse keys functionality.

I know this is a big one, but is anyone looking at it? Surely it’s more key to maintaining your website then customizing your theme – something that is being looked at.
