Here&#8217;s what you need to know if you want to get involved.</p>\n<p><strong>A list for all seasons. </strong>Developers have the <a href=\"http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-hackers\">wp-hackers mailing list</a> to discuss core and plugin code. Sometimes UI/UX stuff comes up and gets discussed there, but there is a whole universe of discussion around navigation labels, gradients, button styling, layouts, alignment, etc. that would be clutter on wp-hackers. Designers need a list to call their own, and now we have one. You can sign up for the <a href=\"http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-ui\">wp-ui list</a> to discuss ways to improve the interface or user experience of WordPress, and to discuss progress on design-related projects for the open source project, like the design challenges we&#8217;re going to have.</p>\n<p><strong>Design Challenges.</strong> We learned a lot from the icon design and header refresh contests, and we want to do these kind of open design challenges on a regular basis to give UI/UX designers who want to contribute to the WordPress open source project more opportunities to do so. If we could do one per month, that would be ideal, keeping the challenges relatively bite-sized to allow potential contributors an easy way to get involved at first. As each challenge is posted, people can use the list to bounce ideas off each other and work toward optimal solutions. I&#8217;m hoping the design challenges will evolve to be less contest and more collaboration. We&#8217;ll announce the first one before the end of January, so if you&#8217;re interested, please sign up for the list! <em>(Hint: one will likely be a touch up to the Right Now dashboard module, to improve the information design, and there will be a couple of screen layout challenges coming up as well.)</em></p>\n<p><strong>Distributed Usability Testing.</strong><em> </em>We started to try this out last year, and several dozen usability professionals volunteered to help get the program going, but a combination of scheduling and infrastructure issues combined to stall the progress. Having the &#8220;UI/UX contributor team&#8221; infrastructure in place, starting with the mailing list, will make it much easier to get this project going again.</p>\n<p><strong>Chit-chat.</strong> The weekly developer chats in IRC at <a href=\"https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-dev\">#wordpress-dev</a> have been very productive. We&#8217;ve created an IRC room at <a href=\"http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=wordpress-ui\">#wordpress-ui on irc.freenode.net</a> so that we can have the same kind of &#8220;water cooler&#8221; for UI/UX contributors as for core code contributors. In addition to being a place where you can drop in and discuss core UI/UX (note: this room will not be a place to discuss the design of blog themes, it&#8217;s to discuss the design of the Wordpress application itself), we&#8217;ll set up a weekly chat. Choosing a day and time for the chats will probably be the first discussion on the mailing list.</p>\n<p><strong>A blog of our own. </strong>Once again, taking a page from the code contributor infrastructure, we&#8217;ll set up a blog for UI/UX updates, announcements, progress reports, etc. This will be on WordPress.org in the nearish future, and will be announced to the mailing list when it is live.</p>\n<p>So, if you want to become a contributor to core WordPress by using your design skills, <a href=\"http://lists.automattic.com/mailman/listinfo/wp-ui\">join the wp-ui mailing list</a> and get ready for a fun year!</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:70:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2010/01/2010-open-source-design/feed/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"5\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:2;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:41:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n		\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:15:\"WordPress

I hope so, because the new year has begun and <strong>a lot </strong>is going to be happening with WordPress in 2010, and you definitely want to be a part of it. Later this week the scope for version 3.0 (featuring the addition of MU functionality to the WordPress codebase) will be decided in the IRC developer chat*, based on <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/support/topic/345127\">feedback provided by users like you</a>. But it&#8217;s no fun to live by IRC alone, which is why we love WordCamps. Attending a WordCamp gives you a chance to meet people in your local community who are working with WordPress, as well as core contributors, theme designers, plugin developers, Codex writers, support forum moderators and other WordPress volunteers who&#8217;ve made WordPress what it is today. Add this New Year&#8217;s Resolution to your 2010 list if it&#8217;s not on there already: Attend a WordCamp, meet at least 5 new local people, learn something new, and if you have the chance, buy a drink for someone who&#8217;s volunteered their time and expertise to the WordPress open source project. To help you keep your resolution, here is a list of the upcoming WordCamps for the next three months, followed by what I know so far about each one.</p>\n<p>January 8–9: <a href=\"http://atlantawordcamp.com/\">WordCamp Atlanta</a><br />\nJanuary 23: <a href=\"http://wordcampboston.com/\">WordCamp Boston</a><br />\nJanuary 30: <a href=\"http://www.wordcamp.gr/\">WordCamp Greece</a> in Thessaloniki<br />\nJanuary 30: <a href=\"http://id.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp Indonesia</a> in Jakarta<br />\nFebruary 27: <a href=\"http://2010.wordcampfukuoka.com/\">WordCamp Fukuoka</a><br />\nMarch 6–7: <a href=\"http://www.wordcampireland.com/\">WordCamp Ireland</a> in Kilkenny<br />\nMarch 27–28: <a href=\"http://wordcamptoronto.com/\">WordCamp Toronto</a></p>\n<h4>NORTH AMERICA</h4>\n<p><strong>January 8–9: <a href=\"http://atlantawordcamp.com/\">WordCamp Atlanta</a>.</strong> First WordCamp of the year, and it&#8217;s already sold out &#8212; twice! They changed to a bigger venue based on demand, from Georgia Tech to the Atlanta campus of Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). They&#8217;re still letting people onto <a href=\"http://wordcampatl.eventbrite.com/\">the waitlist</a>, if you&#8217;re interested. A guaranteed way to get in would be to <a href=\"http://atlantawordcamp.com/sponsor/sponsorship-opportunities/\">sponsor</a> the event, and they&#8217;re taking last-minute sponsors right now. Atlanta will have sessions on Friday evening and all day Saturday. I&#8217;ll be opening the Saturday program with <em>WordPress Resolutions: What to Expect in 2010</em>. After a day of design, development and content track sessions, Lead Developer <a href=\"http://markjaquith.com/\">Mark Jaquith</a> will take the closing slot for a Town Hall-style Q&amp;A.  The <a href=\"http://wordcampatl.eventbrite.com/\">attendee list</a> (follow link, scroll down) includes a number of WordPress core contributors, theme/plugin developers, and support providers as well as proof that Atlanta has a strong WordPress user base.</p>\n<p><strong>January 23: <a href=\"http://wordcampboston.com/\">WordCamp Boston</a>.</strong> I think WordCamp Boston is trying to one-up every WordCamp the organizers have been to, including the awesome NYC from November, and it looks like they might succeed. From <a href=\"http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/doc/\">Doc Searls</a> and <a href=\"http://www.hyperorg.com/blogger/\">David Weinberger</a> as keynote speakers to the multiple-track, unconference and Ignite sessions to the sweet-looking venue and the party plans, this one has got it going on. I credit it in part to the fact that they are one of the few WordCamps to follow the advice of having an organizing team of more than just 2 or 3 people, so the work is better distributed. I see a number of familiar names on the <a href=\"http://wordcampboston.com/registration/attendees/\">attendee list</a>, but even more that I don&#8217;t know, so I&#8217;m looking forward to meeting the Boston WordPress community. They&#8217;re still <a href=\"http://wordcampboston.com/registration/\">selling tickets</a>, so if you&#8217;re in the northeast, you should try to make it. I&#8217;ll be at this one also, talking about how the merge with MU will affect the WordPress admin (by then we should have started figuring it out!).</p>\n<p><strong>March 27–28: <a href=\"http://wordcamptoronto.com/\">WordCamp Toronto</a>.</strong> The last two Toronto WordCamps have been really good. I heard there would be one in March, but their site right now is just <a href=\"http://wordcamptoronto.com/\">taking emails</a> for notification. I&#8217;ve contacted the organizer to see what&#8217;s up, and he says the site will likely go live this week. They&#8217;re looking for volunteers to help organize this year&#8217;s event, so if you&#8217;re interested, it would be a great opportunity to get involved. Believe me, volunteering at a WordCamp is one of the best ways to make sure you meet a lot of other attendees.</p>\n<h4>ASIA</h4>\n<p><strong>January 30: <a href=\"http://id.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp Indonesia</a>.</strong> WordCamp Indonesia will be in Jakarta again this year. I love how they worded the beginning of their <a href=\"http://id.wordcamp.org/conference-sessions/\">sessions</a> page. &#8220;Come in, we’ll get you breakfast and coffee, you’ll register, there’ll be networking. It’ll be great.&#8221; There will be a single track of sessions, but there are several time slots set aside for ad-hoc discussion and breakout sessions.</p>\n<p><strong>February 27: <a href=\"http://2010.wordcampfukuoka.com/\">WordCamp Fukuoka</a>.</strong> WordCamp Fukuoka is just getting its site up, too, so check back periodically a little later for more information. One of their visiting speakers will be <a href=\"http://noel.io/\">Noel Jackson</a>, developer of the <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Press_This\">Press This</a> bookmarklet as well as themes like <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/p2\">P2</a> and <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/monotone\">Monotone</a>/<a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/duotone\">Duotone</a>.</p>\n<h4>EUROPE</h4>\n<p><strong>January 30: <a href=\"http://www.wordcamp.gr/\">WordCamp Greece</a>.</strong> WordCamp Greece will be held in Thessaloniki, and they expect about 100-150 people to attend.The program includes regular sessions on the usual topics (how-to, programming, SEO, multi-language sites, etc) as well as &#8220;QuickRounds,&#8221; which will showcase Greek projects based on WordPress. I&#8217;m especially intrigued by the &#8220;WordPress vs. Expression Engine&#8221; session. Whenever people compare different publishing platforms, it&#8217;s interesting to see which features they highlight. I hope someone gets video from this one and posts it to the <a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/category/wordcamptv/\">WordCamp section of WordPress.tv</a>.</p>\n<p><strong>March 6–7: <a href=\"http://www.wordcampireland.com/\">WordCamp Ireland</a>.</strong> WordCamp Ireland will be in Kilkenny, and for such a geographically small country, it&#8217;s got an impressive list of <a href=\"http://www.wordcampireland.com/info/speakers/\">speakers</a>, including <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/\">Donncha O Caoimh</a>, lead developer of <a href=\"http://mu.wordpress.org/\">WordPress MU</a>. The program includes three tracks: Intro, Blogger, and Developer, and I think this will be the first WordCamp I&#8217;ve heard of that is deliberately <a href=\"http://www.wordcampireland.com/about/family-and-partner-friendly/\">family-friendly</a>, with on-site child care. They&#8217;re also going to have a charging station for mobile devices, which is clever. It&#8217;s not confirmed yet, but I think I&#8217;ll be at this one, too.</p>\n<p>If you want to attend a WordCamp but don&#8217;t know of one near you, check out <a href=\"http://central.wordcamp.org/\">WordCamp.org</a> for the official list (updated frequently). That&#8217;s also where you would start if you wanted to <a href=\"http://central.wordcamp.org/guidelines/\">organize a WordCamp</a> in your area. </p>\n<p><em>*Developer chats are held Thursdays at

Now that 2.9 is out and it&#8217;s time to start thinking about 3.0, we think it would be appropriate to stop and take a breath before diving in, and make a plan in advance. What winds up happening is that during each release cycle a few new features are selected for inclusion, but then right up until feature freeze (and/or beta cycle), people keep adding feature requests, patches for enhancements, and ongoing bug reports. This means each release winds up getting pushed out later than planned, and with so many things going in per release, it becomes harder to catch new bugs.</p>\n<p>The as-long-as-we&#8217;re-not-in-freeze-yet model isn&#8217;t working. People wind up waiting months longer for new features they want, like Trash and Image Editing, because we&#8217;re still adding other things and then we need to test them all. If we kept the releases smaller feature-wise, we could push out the new stuff sooner (3 releases per year is the goal) and have more focused beta testing, making the releases themselves better. It&#8217;s hard, because everyone has their pet features and fixes, and if there&#8217;s a patch, why not get it in this release rather than waiting? Sometimes people complain that a patch has been waiting to be committed for weeks or months, but what no one ever seems to bring up is that sometimes patches introduce new bugs, and the more we add at once, the harder it is to keep it all well-tested on various platforms, in different hosting environments, etc. So. What&#8217;s our proposal?</p>\n<p>We take a page from the world of project management and we make a project plan <strong>before</strong> we jump into the dev cycle. We let everyone propose features and enhancements, and we choose a limited number to include in 3.0 (in this case we need to be especially stringent, because the merge of WordPress and WordPress MU will automatically mean a lot of work) and set a realistic release date that we stick to. We create a tentative set of features for the next two releases, to be re-evaluated at the beginning of the next cycle, so that people know the community is committed to certain features, as opposed to the vague &#8220;future release&#8221; label we now use for everything not included in the current version. We fix bugs that are reproducible and affect a large number of users before focusing on edge case bugs or bugs that haven&#8217;t been well-described or reproduced. We stop diverting our attention from agreed-upon goals when a &#8220;squeaky wheel&#8221; decides we should all be focused on something else. There are always things that pop up unexpectedly, but we need to do a better job of restraining ourselves when it comes to trying to sneak things into the current release (I include myself in this, of course&#8230;as a UX person I always wish we could do everything all at once!).</p>\n<p>As an open source project, we accomplish more when we work together than we do following individual agendas, and we need to keep our project focused on commonly-agreed-upon goals instead of following tangents whenever a community member starts to take us on one, regardless of whether it&#8217;s to follow a cool idea that everyone loves or a suggestion based on a personal agenda, and regardless of whether it&#8217;s a newbie who doesn&#8217;t know any better or a frequent contributor or committer who has a strong opinion and a loud voice (so to speak). The issue here is that it&#8217;s easy to get distracted, so we need to create a structure that will help us keep moving forward instead of getting sidetracked. We need to keep Trac clean for the current dev cycle so that it includes confirmed features and bug reports, and all new feature suggestions go into a different milestone.</p>\n<p>We think it&#8217;s at least worth a try. When we re-start the weekly IRC dev chats in 2010, the first meeting will be to talk about the scope of 3.0. When we&#8217;ve got a general agreement about what will be included, we&#8217;ll create the appropriate Trac tickets, and punt tickets for non-3.0 feature requests/enhancements to a future release so we can stay focused. New bug reports will still come in to the current milestone. It&#8217;s going to be hard. There are at least a dozen new features that I feel like we&#8217;ve pushed back multiple times that I&#8217;d like to see in core, but for this experiment, I&#8217;m just going to keep reminding myself, &#8220;You can do that with a plugin!&#8221;</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/support/topic/345127\">Sound off on the features you would like to see in version

You can upgrade easily from your Dashboard by going to <strong>Tools</strong> &gt; <strong>Upgrade</strong>, or you can <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/download/\">download from WordPress.org</a>. And of course, it wouldn&#8217;t be a major release without a short video summarizing some of the cool things about the new version:<br />\n<embed src=\"http://v.wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/video/flvplayer.swf?ver=1.11\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" flashvars=\"guid=NBZ853Xn&amp;width=640&amp;height=360\" title=\"Introducing WordPress 2.9 Carmen\"></embed></p>\n<p>The coolest new stuff from a user point of view is:</p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Global undo/&#8221;trash&#8221; feature</strong>, which means that if you accidentally delete a post or comment you can bring it back from the grave (i.e., the Trash). This also eliminates those annoying &#8220;are you sure&#8221; messages we used to have on every delete.</li>\n<li><strong>Built-in image editor</strong> allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images to show them who&#8217;s boss. This is the first wave of our many planned media-handling improvements.</li>\n<li><strong>Batch plugin update and compatibility checking,</strong> which means you can update 10 plugins at once, versus having to do multiple clicks for each one, and we&#8217;re using the new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress. This should take the fear and hassle out of upgrading.</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds\"><strong>Easier video embeds</strong></a> that allow you to just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code, with Oembed support for YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv (and more in the next release).</li>\n</ol>\n<p>2.9 provides the smoothest ride yet because of a number of improvements under the hood and more subtle improvements you&#8217;ll begin to appreciate once you&#8217;ve been around the block a few times. Here&#8217;s just a sampling:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>We now have <code>rel=canonical</code> support for better SEO.</li>\n<li>There is automatic database optimization support, which you can enable in your <code>wp-config.php</code> file by adding <code>define(\'WP_ALLOW_REPAIR\', true);</code>.</li>\n<li>Themes can register &#8220;post thumbnails&#8221; which allow them to attach an image to the post, especially useful for magazine-style themes.</li>\n<li>A new <code>commentmeta</code> table that allows arbitrary key/value pairs to be attached to comments, just like posts, so you can now expand greatly what you can do in the comment framework.</li>\n<li>Custom post types have been upgraded with better API support so you can juggle more types than just post, page, and attachment. (More of this planned for 3.0.)</li>\n<li>You can set custom theme directories, so a plugin can register a theme to be bundled with it or you can have multiple shared theme directories on your server.</li>\n<li>We&#8217;ve upgraded TinyMCE WYSIWYG editing and Simplepie.</li>\n<li>Sidebars can now have descriptions so it&#8217;s more obvious what and where they do what they do.</li>\n<li>Specify category templates not just by ID, like before, but by slug, which will make it easier for theme developers to do custom things with categories &#8212; like post types!</li>\n<li>Registration and profiles are now extensible to allow you to collect things more easily, like a user&#8217;s Twitter account or any other fields you can imagine.</li>\n<li>The XML-RPC API has been extended to allow changing the user registration option. We fixed some Atom API attachment issues.</li>\n<li>Create custom galleries with the new include and exclude attributes that allow you to pull attachments from any post, not just the current one.</li>\n<li>When you&#8217;re editing files in the theme and plugin editors it remembers your location and takes you back to that line after you save. (Thank goodness!!!)</li>\n<li>The Press This bookmarklet has been improved and is faster than ever; give it a try for on-the-fly blogging from wherever you are on the internet.</li>\n<li>Custom taxonomies are now included in the WXR export file and imported correctly.</li>\n<li>Better hooks and filters for excerpts, smilies, HTTP requests, user profiles, author links, taxonomies, SSL support, tag clouds, query_posts and WP_Query</li>\n</ul>\n<p>All of this and more is reflected in the <a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&amp;milestone=2.9\">over 500

Wowza!</p>\n<p>2.9 has been an exciting development cycle, and I must say it has whetted our appetite for 3.0, which is coming next (probably this spring) and will include at the very least the merge of MU with the WordPress core, and a new default theme. We can&#8217;t wait to start working on it. But first, some Carmen McRae tunes and a beer.

Custom header, rounded corners, clean design&#8230; if you were using WordPress back then, let&#8217;s face it, you were impressed. Time moves on, though, fashions change, new styles become old standards, and what was once cutting edge suddenly seems old-fashioned and out of date.</p>\n<p>So, a new bundled theme in 2010? We think it&#8217;s a good idea. Something nice and light that can serve as a good example theme, include newer theme-based features, and look nice (and current) on a public site. We&#8217;d like to introduce a new default theme with version 3.0, which is anticipated to come out in mid-2010 (hence the name), and think it would be good for it to blend well aesthetically with WordPress itself.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;d been advocating moving toward <a href=\"http://elastictheme.org/\">Elastic</a>, the theme framework/WYSIWYG theme editor that was one of our Google Summer of Code student projects, but after some discussion I agreed with the guys that while Elastic is awesome and should be promoted as a community development project, it&#8217;s heavier than a default theme needs to be. The default theme doesn&#8217;t need to be a full-featured framework, it just needs to work well, look awesome, have good code and be a good starting point for beginning themers. We were thinking of a fairly minimalist design that would make it easy to customize.</p>\n<p>As for the code, there&#8217;s a question of if it will really be a new theme, or if it will be a re-styled and updated version of Kubrick.  We don&#8217;t know the final answer to that yet, because the ultimate decision will be made with the community&#8217;s input, but we believe all new markup is the way to go. What do you think? Without venturing into theme framework territory, are there features you think a new default theme should have? Some people have been <a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9015\">talking about it on Trac</a> over the past year, if you wonder what&#8217;s been tossed around so far. I thought about posting a poll here (you know how I love posting polls to gauge opinion), but in this case I think a discussion thread might be better, so that each vote can explain the reason behind it. So, have an opinion on what a new default theme should include? <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/support/topic/342819\">Weigh in at the forums</a>.</p>\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:36:\"http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/\";a:1:{s:10:\"commentRss\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:67:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/12/2010-a-theme-odyssey/feed/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:38:\"http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/slash/\";a:1:{s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1:\"0\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:9;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:41:\"\n		\n		\n		\n		\n		\n				\n\n		\n		\n			\n			\n		\n		\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:5:{s:0:\"\";a:7:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:23:\"2.9 Release Candidate 1\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:49:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/12/2-9-rc1/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"comments\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:58:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/12/2-9-rc1/#comments\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 16 Dec 2009 18:33:39 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:8:\"category\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:11:\"Development\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:40:\"http://wordpress.org/development/?p=1057\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:1:{s:0:\"\";a:1:{s:11:\"isPermaLink\";s:5:\"false\";}}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:335:\"We&#8217;re at that exciting point in WordPress development where the dev team feels like version 2.9 is complete and ready for the world.\nIf you&#8217;ve been waiting for your moment to pitch in, it&#8217;s now.

Second, and more importantly, we need everyone to test out their plugin compatibility.</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a user of plugins, there&#8217;s a groovy new compatibility feature on the plugin directory where you can vote on whether a plugin is compatible with a version or not and it&#8217;ll get registered in the new plugin compatibility checker. This is as a replacement to the old wiki-based lists we&#8217;d do before. To see it in action <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/akismet/\">check out this Akismet plugin page</a>, as you can see 14 people have already registered that it&#8217;s compatible with 2.9.</p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a plugin author, of course you should update your &#8220;Tested up to:&#8221; in the <code>readme.txt</code> for your plugin.</p>\n<p>If all goes according to plan, WordPress 2.9 will be out before the end of the week. <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.9-RC1.zip\">You can download the release candidate here</a>.</p>\n<p>For more details on the changes

Honestly, I think Cory&#8217;s post has been the best on the subject and I don&#8217;t disagree with much of what he said. In terms of supporting the commercial interest of plugin authors from the plugin repository, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered. We already know that theme authors who sell their themes under the GPL license have been rewarded via a<a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/commercial/\"> commercial themes page</a> on WordPress.org. Back in July of 2009, the <a href=\"http://www.blogherald.com/2009/07/03/quick-interview-matt-mullenweg-on-the-commercial-gpl-themes/\">BlogHerald</a> asked Matt if the same thing would happen for plugins:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Commercial plugins are already seamlessly integrated with the plugin directory.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know exactly what that means but if we take a look at the page that lists the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/\">restrictions and qualifications</a> to be hosted on the repository, there are no rules against commercialization. Since commercial plugins/authors <strong>ARE</strong> indeed part of the WordPress community, how should the plugin repository reflect that, if at all? All plugins within the repository are free of charge, so how do you make a business out of that? Although it&#8217;s not listed, up-selling appears to be an acceptable practice within the plugin but there are still no rules on how up-selling is considered acceptable. Unfortunately, this is subjective so I&#8217;m not sure there will ever be a concrete guideline. But users of the software can certainly be vocal about it to have it changed if they don&#8217;t like it. Other questions I have regarding the repository:</p>\n<p>If plugins that were freely available on the repository switch to a paid model, can they link to the paid model from their repo page? Post Templates is a good example of this. *<strong>UPDATE</strong>* Apparently, this is not accepted as Post-Template has been removed from the repository. </p>\n<p>Can a plugin author link to a specific place within the readme.txt file that tells users where they can get paid support?</p>\n<p>Can a <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-highslide-image-viewer/installation/\">plugin author state</a> that if the end user will be using the plugin on a commercial website, that they <strong>HAVE</strong> to buy it?</p>\n<p>If there are enough signs that the plugin is commercial, will donation links be removed from that plugins repository page?</p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know the answers to any of these questions and your guess is as good as mine since the answers are not clearly written down in the repository guidelines. What I&#8217;m anxiously awaiting for is a post by Matt himself weighing in on this sector of the WordPress contributor community and his thoughts on how resources of WordPress.org can be used or not used to support those efforts. He&#8217;s made it clear in the past that he loves to see people making a living from WordPress but he&#8217;s also been vocal about having a completely different opinion of paying for themes versus paying for plugins. </p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:07:51 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:8;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:30:\"BuddyPress: BuddyPress 1.2 RC2\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://buddypress.org/?p=800\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:51:\"http://buddypress.org/blog/news/buddypress-1-2-rc2/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1148:\"<p>A second release candidate is now available for testing on WordPress 2.9.1 and WordPress MU 2.9.1 and above (<a href=\"http://buddypress.org/buddypress.1.2.rc2.zip\">zip</a> / <a href=\"http://svn.buddypress.org/tags/1.2-rc\">svn</a>).</p>\n<p>If you are upgrading from an earlier pre-release version then you can just overwrite the BuddyPress plugin directory. <a href=\"http://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/upgrading-from-10x\">Instructions for upgrading test installations from previous versions of BuddyPress</a> are also available.</p>\n<p>As before you can find a <a href=\"http://trac.buddypress.org/query?status=accepted&#038;status=assigned&#038;status=new&#038;status=reopened&#038;group=priority&#038;max=200&#038;order=priority&#038;col=id&#038;col=summary&#038;col=milestone&#038;col=status&#038;col=owner&#038;col=type&#038;col=priority&#038;milestone=1.2&#038;type=!enhancement\">list of known issues</a> and a <a href=\"http://trac.buddypress.org/newticket\">place to post bugs</a> via the <a href=\"http://trac.buddypress.org\">BuddyPress Trac installation</a>.</p>\n<p>Please do not post bugs in the comments as they may be missed.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:29:24 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Andy Peatling\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:9;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"Donncha: WP Super Cache 0.9.9\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"http://ocaoimh.ie/?p=89495683\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:37:\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-super-cache-099/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2764:\"<p>Well, the new WP Super Cache is <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3dvcmRwcmVzcy5vcmcvZXh0ZW5kL3BsdWdpbnMvd3Atc3VwZXItY2FjaGUv\">available</a> now.</p>\n<p>This release adds <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL29jYW9pbWguaWUvd3Atc3VwZXItY2FjaGUtb2JqZWN0LWNhY2hlLXN1cHBvcnQv\">experimental object cache support</a>. Don&#8217;t go looking for it unless you have an external object cache already. It won&#8217;t show up. I recommend using the Memcached object cache.</p>\n<p>Some of the other major changes include more translations: Chinese (<a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3R3LndvcmRwcmVzcy5vcmcv\">Pseric</a>), Ukranian (<a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3ByZXNzd29yZC5jb20udWEvd29yZHByZXNzLw==\">Vitaly</a>) and Japanese (Tai). The Italian and Japanese translations have since been updated but not included in 0.9.9. You can grab them from <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3N2bi53cC1wbHVnaW5zLm9yZy93cC1zdXBlci1jYWNoZS90cnVuay9sYW5ndWFnZXMv\">the languages directory</a> if you don&#8217;t want to wait until the next release.</p>\n<p>If you have WordPress Mobile Edition installed the plugin will grab the list of mobile user agents from that and warn if your .htaccess is outdated. </p>\n<p>And, a small but significant change is that the PHP cache loader will use the static &#8220;super&#8221; cache if necessary. This might happen if your rewrite rules aren&#8217;t working properly and not serving cache files. At least your anonymous visitors will see some sort of cached file. Use the debugging system built into the plugin to determine where the cache comes from.</p>\n<p>See <a

While he will continue to update his plugins as needed, all support will be terminated.</p>\n<p>As a plugin author myself, I&#8217;m not surprised by this news.  With the world economy still in the pits, more plugin authors are feeling the crunch.  While they would like to release free plugins for all, at the end of the day, there are bills to pay and mouths to feed.</p>\n<p>Within this article (rant?), I will go over the types of plugins I would pay for, an argument for paying for plugins, and go over several business models I see popping up.</p>\n<h3>Plugins I Would Pay For</h3>\n<p>Here are several categories that make a plugin something I would pay for (yours will undoubtedly be different).</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The plugin is a timesaver &#8211; Plugins such as <a href=\"http://akismet.com/\">Akismet</a> and <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-spamfree/\">WP Spam Free</a> save me from having to deal with SPAM.</li>\n<li>The plugin provides peace of mind &#8211; Plugins such as <a href=\"http://ilfilosofo.com/blog/wp-db-backup/\">WordPress Database Backup</a> and <a href=\"http://www.w3-edge.com/wordpress-plugins/w3-total-cache/\">W3 Total Cache</a> provide peace of mind.  My data gets backed up, and my blog is protected from an influx of traffic.</li>\n<li>The plugin helps my readers &#8211; Plugins such as <a href=\"http://txfx.net/code/wordpress/subscribe-to-comments/\">Subscribe to Comments</a>, <a href=\"http://lesterchan.net/portfolio/programming/php/\">PageNavi</a>, <a href=\"http://mitcho.com/code/yarpp/\">Related Posts</a>, <a href=\"http://rauru.com/wordpress-popular-posts\">Popular Posts</a>, and many others that improve the reader experience.</li>\n<li>The plugin makes something complicated simple &#8211; I&#8217;m thinking of creating <a href=\"http://www.arnebrachhold.de/redir/sitemap-home/\">XML Sitemaps</a>, creating forms (<a href=\"http://www.deliciousdays.com/cforms-plugin/\">cformsII</a> or <a href=\"http://www.gravityforms.com\">Gravity Forms</a>), or listing podcasts (<a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/podpress/\">PodPress</a>).</li>\n<li>The plugin fills a unique niche &#8211; An example includes the <a href=\"http://bravenewcode.com/wptouch\">WP Touch plugin</a>, which is for mobile users of your WordPress-powered site.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>An Argument for Paying for Plugins</h3>\n<p>In 2009, we saw the premium theme market jump into the stratosphere.  </p>\n<p>Jeff predicts the <a href=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2009/12/23/trend-for-2010-paying-for-plugins/\">same for plugins in 2010</a>.  </p>\n<p>One thing that has always confused me is that a lot of the &#8220;free plugins forever&#8221; advocates have a different opinion towards paying for themes.  Why is that so?</p>\n<p>Unless you purchase the theme&#8217;s developer license, you only get to use the theme on one site.  And if you&#8217;re like me, you probably go through three (sometimes four) themes a year (I&#8217;m never satisfied!).</p>\n<p>A plugin, however, is there before, during, and after the theme switch.  I can use it on more than one site (if the license permits), and upgrading it is much less of a hassle than themes.</p>\n<p>On my personal site, I&#8217;ve pretty much had the same plugins for 3-4 years running.  If I were to pay for those plugins, that&#8217;s a good return on investment in terms of mileage.</p>\n<p>For those who would never consider purchasing a plugin, remember, as the economy gets worse, your favorite plugin may be the next to get abandoned by its author for financial reasons.  It&#8217;s not at all uncommon, and I would argue that this is the rule, not the exception.</p>\n<h3>Plugin Business Models</h3>\n<p>Over the past year, I&#8217;ve observed several plugin business models crop up.  I will go over these briefly and weigh in on each.</p>\n<h4>Donation Model Only</h4>\n<p>Some plugin authors still choose to rely on donations for plugins.  For a minority of plugin authors, the amount of donations is sufficient.</p>\n<p>However, I haven&#8217;t experienced success with the donation model, even after pushing it heavily.  My most popular plugin received 1-3 donations every six months.  </p>\n<h4>Free Plugin &#8211; Charge for Support</h4>\n<p>While some plugin authors have been successful in charging for support, for the most part, users download the plugin and move on.</p>\n<p>An example is providing a download link for the plugin, and charging the user a subscription fee for support forums.</p>\n<p>One thing I don&#8217;t like about this model is that it reinforces the fact that the time to take coding/updating the plugin is trivial.  Sure, support takes up time, but maintaining the plugin takes up a lot of time also.</p>\n<h4>Free Plugin &#8211; Charge for Add-ons</h4>\n<p>Another model I&#8217;ve seen is a plugin being provided for free, but add-ons for the plugin are an extra fee.</p>\n<p>If the plugin proves popular enough, and the add-on is a must-have, you&#8217;ll likely find great success with this model.</p>\n<p>The time you spent coding the &#8220;base&#8221; plugin will be offset by the income you receive from the add-ons.</p>\n<h4>One-time Fee for Plugin &#8211; Extra for Support</h3>\n<p>Another model I&#8217;ve witnessed is the user being charged a set fee for the plugin.  If the user wants support, the user must subscribe to a forum of some sort.</p>\n<p>I personally disagree with this model as the user often pays more for support than what the actual plugin is worth.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also my opinion that if you charge for a plugin, support must be included.</p>\n<h4>One-time Fee for Plugin &#8211; Support Included</h4>\n<p>A model I&#8217;m fond of is just outright charging a fee for the plugin with support included.  </p>\n<p>The downside of this model is that the user should expect a higher price.  Since the user is paying only one time, the higher price compensates for all the support the user is expected to have over the lifetime of the plugin.  </p>\n<p>Typically the price goes higher for additional site licenses, as support is expected to increase.</p>\n<h4>Subscription Based Model</h4>\n<p>A subscription-based model allows you to spread costs across all of the subscribers.  The goal here is to gain as many subscribers as possible by charging a low price.</p>\n<p>As a result, support and upgrade costs will be spread amongst all subscribers, where each subscriber gets the overall benefit.  And since some subscribers will stick around for the next billing period, there is constant revenue.</p>\n<p>One thing to include is to have a &#8220;Buy Out&#8221; option, which will allow users a lifetime subscription for a set fee.  This is the One-time Fee option, so the price will be dramatically higher than a subscription cost.</p>\n<p>I personally chose this model for my first premium plugin and it has been fairly successful so far.</p>\n<h3>Conclusion</h3>\n<p>Within this post, I went over the types of plugins I would buy, my reasons for purchasing a plugin, and the various models I&#8217;ve seen crop up.</p>\n<p>I would love to hear your thoughts on any of these topics.  </p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 04 Feb 2010 21:15:22 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:14:\"Ronald Huereca\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:18;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:44:\"BuddyPress: BuddyPress 1.2 Release Candidate\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://buddypress.org/?p=779\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:70:\"http://buddypress.org/blog/community/buddypress-1-2-release-candidate/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1740:\"<p>The release candidate version of BuddyPress 1.2 is now <a href=\"http://buddypress.org/buddypress.1.2.rc.zip\">ready for download</a> and testing (<a href=\"http://svn.buddypress.org/tags/1.2-rc/\">svn link</a>).

Buckler of SitePoint.com <a href=\"http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2010/02/04/split-wordpress-content-into-multiple-sections/\">published a neat guide</a> today on how to split WordPres content into 2 or more columns. The explanation dives into various functions and parameters with use of the Read More tag but within the comments of the post, someone mentioned a plugin called <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-post-columns/\">WP Post Columns</a> by Sam Burdge. I downloaded the plugin and to my surprise, it works very well and does not require any code editing. The magic lies within the shortcodes that need to be inserted into the content. For example, if you wanted two columns within your content, you would use the following shortcodes.</p>\n<p>[column width=\"47%\" padding=\"6%\"] Column 1 content goes here.

many plugins do you run on your website that were created by <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/profile/gamerz\">Lester &#8216;<strong>GaMerZ</strong>&#8216; Chan</a>? I&#8217;m guessing at least one or more. On <a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com\">WPTavern.com</a>, I use three of them. I&#8217;ve been a huge fan of Lester ever since I discovered his assortment of plugins that provided functionality I didn&#8217;t think any WordPress site would want to be without. Features such as polls, easy page navigation, and nifty stats. I learned today that Lester is unable to provide support for his plugins due to a full time job he recently accepted. However, he states that he will try to keep the plugins working with newer versions of WordPress as time allows while also keeping the forum open to enable the community to help each other.</p>\n<blockquote><p>As you all know, I have been doing WordPress plugins and supporting it for the past 6 years. These 6 years of my life, I have been through my polytechnic education, my national service as well as my university education. I just graduated from university in December 2009 and have been looking for full-time jobs. I am offered a full-time job and will be starting work on 1st February 2010. </p>\n<p>I regret to say that I am NOT ABLE to provide support for my plugins anymore due to my full-time job commitment. I will leave this forum open and let the community help one another. However, I WILL still update my plugins whenever I can and you still can report bugs to me via email and I will try to fix it.</p></blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;ve donated a chunk of change to Lester in the past, something he was very much appreciative for but there are quite a few vocal members of the community that argue Lester could have placed all the plugins behind a paid support model that might have negated the need for a full time job. I would not have paid for each individual plugin, but I would have paid a yearly fee that would cover the support costs of all of his current and future plugins. No one should be upset at Lester for pursuing other endeavors related to his career path. Also, it&#8217;s not as if he is completely abandoning development and support for his plugins so if his full time job doesn&#8217;t work out, we may very well see some sort of plugin club membership option from Lester in the future. </p>\n<p>So I wonder, what type of business model would Lester have to set up in order for you to consider paying for both the plugin and support?

It&#8217;s where users of WordPress that are local to the area can all get together in one place to share tips, talk strategy, and share knowledge with each other. However, putting these events together takes time and an incredible amount of hard work, as shown by <a href=\"http://2009.newyork.wordcamp.org/2010/01/28/wordcampnyc-finances-or-ode-to-wordcamp-organizers/\">Steve Bruner&#8217;s post on the WCNYC blog</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p>When you have 70+ speakers and volunteers working for gratis, you start out $2,500 in the hole. And when attendees started registering like crazy, it really was a double-edged sword. While registration was beginning to reflect the fruits of our labor, and the hype was building, my little budget spreadsheet was blinking red with every registration. I was laying out money for shirts, bags and food, and the sponsors weren’t showing up</p></blockquote>\n<p>For those that are willing to go through all of the trouble of putting a WordCamp together, I salute you!</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 01 Feb 2010 19:43:04 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:40;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:53:\"Weblog Tools Collection: 24 Plugins for Stats Junkies\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:40:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/?p=7644\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:82:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2010/01/31/24-plugins-for-stats-junkies/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:1053:\"<p>The name of the linked post is actually <a href=\"http://www.appsheriff.com/software/tools-software/24-noble-wordpress-plugins-to-determine-the-performance-of-your-blog/\">24 Noble Wordpress Plugins To Determine The Performance of your Blog</a>, but it is safe to say that you would artificially kill the performance of your blog if you were to install of them (read: don&#8217;t install them all).

Olivier published a comment recommending a plugin called WATS or <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wats/\">WordPress Advanced Ticketing System</a> as a way of handling support on your own website. </p>\n<p>After installation, users need to visit the Wats Options page within the Settings menu to configure the plugin. The top of the settings page has a donate button if you want to send a little coin to the plugin author which is not intrusive or bothersome. While configuring the plugin, you can click on each menu title to show detailed information about that settings group.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/hiddenhelp.png\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/hiddenhelp.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"hiddenhelp\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7630\" height=\"209\" width=\"517\" /></a></p>\n<p>The only problems I met when configuring this plugin is the user interface. Like I mentioned above, you can click on the settings title to show a hidden message that gives more details for the settings group but it&#8217;s not obvious this can be done. Also, while adding and editing the ticket priorities, I noticed that there is an icon to edit existing priority levels but the icon did not have a tool tip so it was not obvious that it was used to edit entries. Last but not least, the first button I see under the listings is REMOVE. The ADD button is further down below a status indicator. I think things could be rearranged to make a little more sense. For example, place the ADD, REMOVE buttons next to each other with a text field only appearing after the ADD button has been clicked. Directions for how to use this area of the configuration page also need to be added before this group of settings.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/settingsUI.png\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/settingsUI-300x107.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"settingsUI\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7631\" height=\"107\" width=\"300\" /></a></p>\n<p>If you want to use WATS in conjunction with your main WordPress install, you can add new categories that can be configured to be open to submission. WATS has a front end ticket creation tool but the information for how to add this to a site was no where to be found until I browsed the <a href=\"http://www.lautre-monde.fr/wats-going-on/\">plugin authors page</a>. You can use the following shortcode to add the form to a page or post: [WATS_TICKET_SUBMIT_FORM].</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ticketcreated.png\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ticketcreated.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"ticketcreated\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7632\" height=\"331\" width=\"530\" /></a></p>\n<p>Once I approved the ticket, I was able to login and view its status. </p>\n<p>Overall, the plugin performed as expected. My only complaints lie in the user interface but those could be addressed in an update. For those looking for a ticketing system that bolts on easily to WordPress, this plugin looks like it could be what you&#8217;re looking for. </p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 29 Jan 2010 21:28:26 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:44;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:60:\"Weblog Tools Collection: WordPress Plugin Releases for 01/28\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:40:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/?p=7625\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:88:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2010/01/28/wordpress-plugin-releases-for-0128/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3218:\"<h3>New Plugins</h3>\n<p><a href=\"http://nodobidesign.nl/index.php?cat=concepten&amp;pagina=ndb_currency_plugin\">NdB Currency</a></p>\n<p>This plugin is used to exchange currency values online.

The <code>json_decode()</code> function treats the tweet ID field as an integer larger than it can handle, which causes the issues. Thanks to Joe Tortuga and Ciaran Walsh for sending in the fix. Of note: I haven&#8217;t had a chance to set up a 32-bit PHP install so I can&#8217;t reproduce this, but it appears to work for many based on <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/support/topic/312067/page/2?replies=46#post-1367438\" rel=\"external\">forum feedback</a>.

a quick post to encourage brave testers. I&#8217;m adding object cache support to WP Super Cache so you&#8217;ll be able to store your cached files in a memcached backend instead of disk.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not complete but it&#8217;s running on this blog and well, you&#8217;re reading this which means it&#8217;s doing something and not breaking! If you want to give it a go grab the development version from <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3dvcmRwcmVzcy5vcmcvZXh0ZW5kL3BsdWdpbnMvd3Atc3VwZXItY2FjaGUvZG93bmxvYWQv\">the download page</a>.</p>\n<p>There are few caveats,  but three spring to mind:</p>\n<ul>\n<li> It won&#8217;t cache anything for &#8220;known&#8221; users. That is users who are logged in or leave comments. Usually a tiny minority of the visitors to any site.</li>\n<li>  Refreshing of the cache is very incomplete. If you leave a comment, the cache for that page may not update immediately. The cache lifetime is set to 30 seconds, and after you leave a comment you become a &#8220;known user&#8221; and see the uncached version of the page anyway.</li>\n<li> When posts are updated the whole cache is invalidated.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know what memcached is, or how to set it up then you probably don&#8217;t want to test this. If you do, use Google and find out about them. Unfortunately I don&#8217;t have time to explain how to install it.</p>\n<p>Inspiration and some code taken from <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3dvcmRwcmVzcy5vcmcvZXh0ZW5kL3BsdWdpbnMvYmF0Y2FjaGUv\">batcache</a>, the excellent caching plugin we use on WordPress.com.</p>\n<p><strong>Update!</strong> I updated the Changelog in the readme.txt and I&#8217;m looking for testers. Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s new in the development version:</p>\n<blockquote><p>* Added experimental object cache support.<br />\n* Added Chinese(Traditional) translation by Pseric.<br />\n* Added FAQ on WP-Cache vs Supercache files.<br />\n* Use Supercache file if WP-Cache file not found. Useful if mod_rewrite rules are broken or not working.<br />\n* Get mobile browser list from WP Mobile Edition if found. Warn user if .htaccess out of date.<br />\n* Make sure writer lock is unlocked after writing cache files.<br />\n* Added link to developer docs in readme.<br />\n* Added Ukranian translation by Vitaly Mylo.<br />\n* Added Upgrade Notice section to readme.<br />\n* Warn if zlib compression in PHP is enabled.<br />\n* Added compression troubleshooting answer. Props Vladimir (http://blog.sjinks.pro/)<br />\n* Added Japanese translation by Tai (http://tekapo.com/)<br />\n* Updated Italian translation.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The biggest changes are the addition of the object cache and a small change to the php code that serves cached wp-cache files. If the mod_rewrite rules on your site don&#8217;t work for whatever reason the plugin will look for the Supercache file and serve that instead. An extra header is added to the served page when this happens. It&#8217;s all in the readme.txt!</p>\n<p><strong>Related Posts</strong><ul><li><a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL29jYW9pbWguaWUvd2FudC10by10ZXN0LXRoZS1uZXctd3Atc3VwZXItY2FjaGUv\" rel=\"\">Want to test the new WP Super Cache?</a></li><li><a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL29jYW9pbWguaWUvd3Atc3VwZXItY2FjaGUtMDg0LXRoZS1nYXJiYWdlLWNvbGxlY3Rvci8=\" rel=\"\">WP Super Cache 0.8.4, the garbage collector</a></li><li><a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL29jYW9pbWguaWUvd3Atc3VwZXItY2FjaGUtMC05LTUv\" rel=\"\">WP Super Cache 0.9.5</a></li></ul></p> <img src=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?view=1&post_id=89495667\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Wed, 27 Jan 2010 16:02:03 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:7:\"Donncha\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}s:4:\"type\";i:128;s:7:\"headers\";a:8:{s:4:\"date\";s:29:\"Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:10:53 GMT\";s:6:\"server\";s:9:\"LiteSpeed\";s:13:\"accept-ranges\";s:5:\"bytes\";s:10:\"connection\";s:5:\"close\";s:4:\"etag\";s:24:\"\"1fd9e-4b71ccf4-174423c\"\";s:13:\"last-modified\";s:29:\"Tue, 09 Feb 2010 21:00:36 GMT\";s:12:\"content-type\";s:15:\"application/xml\";s:14:\"content-length\";s:6:\"130462\";}s:5:\"build\";s:14:\"20090627192103\";}','no'),(828,0,'_transient_feed_mod_867bd5c64f85878d03a060509cd2f92c','1265749853','no'),(835,0,'category_children','a:0:{}','yes'),(814,0,'embed_autourls','1','yes'),(815,0,'embed_size_w','','yes'),(816,0,'embed_size_h','600','yes'),(818,0,'_transient_timeout_dirsize_cache','1265753449','no'),(819,0,'_transient_dirsize_cache','a:1:{s:78:\"/home/cuipmar4/public_html/blogs/cuipblogs.net/wp-content/blogs.dir/162/files/\";a:1:{s:4:\"size\";i:93710;}}','no');

Please discuss these with your child at home.  ','Welcome to 5th and 6th Grade Science!','','inherit','open','closed','','1-autosave','','','2009-09-14 08:49:32','2009-09-14 13:49:32','',1,'http://cdgarcia.cuipblogs.net/?p=3',0,'revision','',0),(4,157,'2009-09-13 08:55:22','2009-09-13 13:55:22','Welcome to <a href=\"http://cuipblogs.net/\">CUIP Schools New Weblog Sites</a>.

Board:\r\n\r\nThere are many ways to construct your board. Below are some suggestions.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>The board must be a tri-fold display.</li>\r\n	<li>It should flow in order. This means that the board should reflect the order of your paper.</li>\r\n	<li>Your Research should NOT be attached to your board.</li>\r\n	<li>Make sure there are headings above each section.</li>\r\n	<li>It does not have to follow the format rules for the research paper. This is where you can use fancy fonts. Just remember that you want it to be easily read by judges.</li>\r\n	<li>Frame your pieces in NEATLY cut construction paper.</li>\r\n	<li>The left side should have the Purpose, Hypothesis and Materials.</li>\r\n	<li>The right side should have the Graphs with Data Tables, results and Conclusions.</li>\r\n	<li>The center should have the Procedure and pictures, diagrams of your work.</li>\r\n	<li>The board should be eye-catching. You want your board to be an advertisement of all your hard work!</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIf you are unable to find a board or unable to purchase a board, please contact Ms. Garcia for assistance. There are a limited number of boards available free of charge to people who need them for financial or emergency reasons.','Homework for the week of November 16, 2009','','publish','open','closed','','homework-for-the-week-of-november-16-2009','','','2009-11-17 11:08:20','2009-11-17 16:08:20','',0,'http://cdgarcia.cuipblogs.net/?p=48',0,'post','',0),(49,157,'2009-11-16 21:00:23','2009-11-17 02:00:23','The next deadline for science fair is November 30th, which is the rough draft of the complete science fair paper.

Below are some suggestions.\n<ul>\n	<li>The board must be a tri-fold display.</li>\n	<li>It should flow in order. This means that the board should reflect the order of your paper.</li>\n	<li>Your Research should NOT be attached to your board.</li>\n	<li>Make sure there are headings above each section.</li>\n	<li>It does not have to follow the format rules for the research paper. This is where you can use fancy fonts. Just remember that you want it to be easily read by judges.</li>\n	<li>Frame your pieces in NEATLY cut construction paper.</li>\n	<li>The left side should have the Purpose, Hypothesis and Materials.</li>\n	<li>The right side should have the Graphs with Data Tables, results and Conclusions.</li>\n	<li>The center should have the Procedure and pictures, diagrams of your work.</li>\n	<li>The board should be eye-catching. You want your board to be an advertisement of all your hard work!</li>\n</ul>\nIf you are unable to find a board or unable to purchase a board, please contact Ms. Garcia for assistance.

Below are some suggestions.\n<ul>\n	<li>The board must be a tri-fold display.</li>\n	<li>It should flow in order. This means that the board should reflect the order of your paper.</li>\n	<li>Your Research should NOT be attached to your board.</li>\n	<li>Make sure there are headings above each section.</li>\n	<li>It does not have to follow the format rules for the research paper. This is where you can use fancy fonts. Just remember that you want it to be easily read by judges.</li>\n	<li>Frame your pieces in NEATLY cut construction paper.</li>\n	<li>The left side should have the Purpose, Hypothesis and Materials.</li>\n	<li>The right side should have the Graphs with Data Tables, results and Conclusions.</li>\n	<li>The center should have the Procedure and pictures, diagrams of your work.</li>\n	<li>The board should be eye-catching. You want your board to be an advertisement of all your hard work!</li>\n</ul>\nIf you are unable to find a board or unable to purchase a board, please contact Ms. Garcia for assistance.

board. Below are some suggestions.\n<ul>\n	<li>The board must be a tri-fold display.</li>\n	<li>It should flow in order. This means that the board should reflect the order of your paper.</li>\n	<li>Your Research should NOT be attached to your board.</li>\n	<li>Make sure there are headings above each section.</li>\n	<li>It does not have to follow the format rules for the research paper. This is where you can use fancy fonts. Just remember that you want it to be easily read by judges.</li>\n	<li>Frame your pieces in NEATLY cut construction paper.</li>\n	<li>The left side should have the Purpose, Hypothesis and Materials.</li>\n	<li>The right side should have the Graphs with Data Tables, results and Conclusions.</li>\n	<li>The center should have the Procedure and pictures, diagrams of your work.</li>\n	<li>The board should be eye-catching. You want your board to be an advertisement of all your hard work!</li>\n</ul>\nIf you are unable to find a board or unable to purchase a board, please contact Ms. Garcia for assistance. There are a limited number of boards available free of charge to people who need them for financial or emergency reasons.','Homework for the week of November 16, 2009','','inherit','open','closed','','48-autosave','','','2009-11-17 10:54:06','2009-11-17 15:54:06','',48,'http://cdgarcia.cuipblogs.net/?p=51',0,'revision','',0),(52,157,'2009-11-16 21:01:45','2009-11-17 02:01:45','The next deadline for science fair is November 30th, which is the rough draft of the complete science fair paper.

Below are some suggestions.\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>The board must be a tri-fold display.</li>\r\n	<li>It should flow in order. This means that the board should reflect the order of your paper.</li>\r\n	<li>Your Research should NOT be attached to your board.</li>\r\n	<li>Make sure there are headings above each section.</li>\r\n	<li>It does not have to follow the format rules for the research paper. This is where you can use fancy fonts. Just remember that you want it to be easily read by judges.</li>\r\n	<li>Frame your pieces in NEATLY cut construction paper.</li>\r\n	<li>The left side should have the Purpose, Hypothesis and Materials.</li>\r\n	<li>The right side should have the Graphs with Data Tables, results and Conclusions.</li>\r\n	<li>The center should have the Procedure and pictures, diagrams of your work.</li>\r\n	<li>The board should be eye-catching. You want your board to be an advertisement of all your hard work!</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIf you are unable to find a board or unable to purchase a board, please contact Ms. Garcia for assistance. There are a limited number of boards available free of charge to people who need them for financial or emergency reasons.','Homework for the week of November 16, 2009','','inherit','open','closed','','48-revision-3','','','2009-11-16 21:01:45','2009-11-17 02:01:45','',48,'http://cdgarcia.cuipblogs.net/?p=52',0,'revision','',0),(53,157,'2010-02-09 16:12:40','2010-02-09 21:12:40','Welcome back!
