Forum Upgrade Status

The official ETA is that everything will be done when it’s done.

We have nothing to add to our list of things that would be nice for Moderators and other volunteers to have and the list of known issues at this time, but please do take a look at the first tickets from the bbPress Moderation Workgroup, and we have a patch for a moderation notice.

WordCamp US 2016 will be December 2 – 4 with the Contributor DayContributor Day Contributor Days are standalone days, frequently held before or after WordCamps but they can also happen at any time.
