Forums, Wikis and Bugzilla, Oh My!

I finally dredged up the courage to join two rather scary groups over the last few days. Well, at least somewhat put-offish for me to say the least. And those two groups are Mozilla’s Bugzilla and the (shudder) WordPress Codex. Now the problem for me isn’t the fact that I’m not a developer nor programmer [...] Read more »

WordPress Skipping a Version for Quality’s Sake

WordPress 2.4, which was scheduled for a January 24th release date has been skipped over in favor a March release of WordPress 2.5 instead. This decision was made by the developers due to all the new features that are scheduled to be added, a redesign of the admin plus more streamlining overall in the form [...] Read more »
