The WordPress org support forums were taken offline…

The WordPress.orgWordPress.org The community site where WordPress code is created and shared by the users. This is where you can download the source code for WordPress core, plugins and themes as well as the central location for community conversations and organization. https://wordpress.org/ support forums were taken offline this morning to help resolve data corruption and uptime issues with a database cluster, which had caused intermittent downtime across the WordPress.org networknetwork (versus site, blog). All problems have been resolved and the support forums have been brought back online.

You can follow a new status.wordpress.org blogblog (versus network, site) (hosted elsewhere, on WordPress.comWordPress.com An online implementation of WordPress code that lets you immediately access a new WordPress environment to publish your content.

We’re getting 3.3 ready for beta Here’s the…

We’re getting 3.3 ready for betaBeta A pre-release of software that is given out to a large group of users to trial under real conditions. Beta versions have gone through alpha testing in-house and are generally fairly close in look, feel and function to the final product; however, design changes often occur as part of the process.. Here’s the gist of how things stand:

  • We’re doing daily (almost) 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. scrubs in #wordpress-dev to drive down the ticket count.
  • Nacin is finishing up WP_Screen and the media button merge.
  • Koopersmith is finishing up tabbed help and flyout menu styling.
  • Pointers need some styling fixes to be called done enough for 3.3. Pointers will probably be for coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. only use in 3.3.
  • Adminadmin (and super admin) bar needs final walk through and tweaks.
  • Welcome box and about this version page need final feedback and tweaks.
  • Some of the responsive admin work will be pushed to 3.4 so we have more time to get large screens looking the way we want. Ozz and Jaquith are on it.
  • Jane will check all UIUI User interface/UXUX User experience feedback tickets and leave comments.
  • All task (blessed) tickets should be updated with a comment on current status by the end of the day.
  • I will stroke my beard in a diabolical manner while everyone else works.
  • Okay, besides that I will be scrubbing bugs, working on more unit tests, and getting coffee for the JSJS JavaScript, a web scripting language typically executed in the browser. Often used for advanced user interfaces and behaviors. guys.
