Twenty Thirteen project update, March 4 2013

What we worked on last week

Lots of fixes and improvements went in ā€” thanks to everyone who reported and patched and tested.

Bigger items discussed:

1. Fixing the sidebarSidebar A sidebar in WordPress is referred to a widget-ready area used by WordPress themes to display information that is not a part of the main content. It is not always a vertical column on the side. It can be a horizontal rectangle below or above the content area, footer, header, or any where in the theme. (including discussion of dropping it completely). We decided to just swap primary and secondary sidebars for now. See #23644.
2. Remove fixed navbar for mobile ā€” yes, letā€™s remove it. See #23647.
3. Keep fixed navbar for desktop for now, but next step is to switch site title to menu there, try that out.

IRCIRC Internet Relay Chat, a network where users can have conversations online. IRC channels are used widely by open source projects, and by WordPress. The primary WordPress channels are #wordpress and #wordpress-dev, on irc.freenode.net. logs: Tue Feb 26 2013 | Thu Feb 28 2013
