# Weekly dev chat summary for Mar 13, 2013

The chat started a bit early today but Eric made it work! [Chat log](https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-mobile&day=2013-03-13&sort=asc#m27756).

### Agenda

 * WPAndroid 2.3
 * WPWindowsPhone
 * WPiOS
 * Mobile Handbook

### WPAndroid 2.3

Will has been working on code clean up an re-organization, so if you haven’t updated
your repository in a while now is the time to do it. The release is looking really
solid and we’re very close to a 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.. Everyone is urged to start testing the release on real devices now.
The menu drawer UXUX UX is an acronym for User Experience - the way the user uses
the UI. Think ‘what they are doing’ and less about how they do it. pattern is a 
bit odd since it doesn’t use the back navigation we’re used to from Android, so 
make sure to test it for yourself.

### WPWindowsPhone

The last update (2.0) is doing well. Now working on Push Notifications for Comments
and taking a look at the Editor next, as planned.

### WPiOS

We keep working on bug fixes and improvements for the 3.5 release. 3.5.2 should 
be submitted early next week at latest.

We also have some new priorities: NUX for WPiOS will be a big focus over the next
month or two. Karmatosed’s mockups and wireframes should come in handy as we explore
different options and build something!

### Mobile Handbook

Eric highlighted that the Tutorials section(s) in the Mobile Handbook needs to be
completed by April 12 at latest and referenced [the Handbook schedule](https://make.wordpress.org/docs/2012/12/21/contributor-handbooks-schedule/).

### Next Week

The next dev chat will be on March 20, 2013 at [1600 UTC](http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?hour=16&min=00&sec=0p1=0).
