2.--4. April 2008, Berlin. Meet me.

I will be participating in this year's Summer of Code, working on WordPress internationalization. You can read my full proposal online. Of over 6,000 applications, about 900 were accepted. WordPress could only accept 10 out of about 90 applications. It's bound to be an interesting summer with working on WordPress and Habari at the same time, ...

Whee, the nice folks over at Watershed Studio have credited me for the stuff I contributed to the Sphere Related Content Plugin. :D

Matt Mullenweg on wp-hackers: Let's create a 2.2 branch and start removing the current tagging implementation. I'll announce on my blog that 2.2 will be delayed. So, fear not, ye UTW users. There shall be no tagging in 2.2. The discussion has been lively to say the least. Update: Demolition! Update: Official Announcement

Update: I forgot to mention that you must hack a core file and adapt your theme, too. See the end of the article. Upgrading to WordPress 2.2 bleeding edge is an adventure, always. Not necessarily because they introduce new bugs--it's the new features that are sometimes worrying. When one svn up changed all the feeds from...

If you're using the latest bleeding-edge SVN version of WordPress with Ultimate Tag Warrior, check your feed's validity. WordPress is finally getting around to implementing Atom 1.0 instead of sticking with the comparatively ancient Atom 0.3 (even the validator's support is deprecated). Unfortunately, due to the way WordPress and UTW work, UTW doesn't have a way ...

Update: The announcement is out.

In Changeset 4349, WordPress 2.1 lost the "jump to preview" / "jump to post" links. Aside from being damn useful, that changeset also broke the Kill Preview plugin. Funny enough, the changeset log message was "Some UI cleanups, changes, and various miscellany." So useful quicklinks that save a lot of scrolling are now 'clutter'? *reverts the ...

Are Snap.com actually paying people a lot of money, or why would wordpress.com think it's a good idea to enable Snap Preview Anywhere on all wordpress.com blogs?

The add-meta-tags WordPress plugin broke my WordPress 2.1 alpha site in more ways than one. Update: Version 0.7 is out with fixes. Anyway, here's a (quick and dirty) patch against 0.6 to fix things. --- add-meta-tags.php.old 2007-01-10 13:14:40.000000000 +0100 +++ add-meta-tags.php 2007-01-11 04:03:26.466994857 +0100 @@ -148,6 +148,7 @@ function amt_clean_desc($desc) { // This is a filter ...
