We’re launching the new theme directory this week, and it comes with some URLs redirects.

Most importantly, 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/](https://wordpress.org/)/
themes/ will be served from the WordPres.org MU going forward, so themes will be
just a site on that network.

    ```
    Trailingslash all request without a query,
    /themes => /themes/
    /themes/tag-filters/ => /themes/
    /themes/search.php?q=[term] => /themes/search/[term]/
    /themes/[themename]/stats/ => /themes/[themename]/
    /themes/[themename]/developer/ => /themes/[themename]/
    /themes/about/ => /themes/getting-started/
    /themes/contact/ => /themes/getting-started/
    ```

We don’t have a specific date/time for the switch yet, but it will be on 2/25 or
2/26.
 Posting here to give you a heads up and some time to get it prepared.

Can I please have the wporg-web role updated after [r5929](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5929)
and [r5930](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5930)? It pipes deploys to
SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform [https://slack.com/](https://slack.com/).
The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at [https://make.wordpress.org/chat/](https://make.wordpress.org/chat/).
Pretty clever IMO, in terms of how it detects what revision is getting deployedDeploy
Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server,
so that it's available to visitors.. This only affects sandboxes (the deployDeploy
Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server,
so that it's available to visitors. script itself).

Requesting a sandbox for Kelly Dwan ([@ryelle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ryelle/)).
She should have a public key at Automattic (where she is [@ryelle33](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ryelle33/))
to use. I’ll handle SVNSVN Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after its command
name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system. Software developers
use Subversion to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source
code, web pages, and documentation. Its goal is to be a mostly compatible successor
to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS). WordPress core and the wordpress.
org released code are all centrally managed through SVN. https://subversion.apache.
org/. access — just needs the sandbox. Thanks!

balancer for HTTP, TCP, and UDP servers. [https://www.nginx.com/](https://www.nginx.com/).
