My Beginning Web

Each year, the WordPress core development team meets in person for a week to work together and discuss the vision for WordPress in the coming year. As annual events go, it’s easily my favorite. Don’t get me wrong, I love attending WordCamps and local WordPress meetups (which are awesome and you should try to attend if you are able), but at the core team meetup, the focus on working together and getting things done is unique, as is the experience of every person in the room being so highly qualified

Less bugs, more polish, the same beta disclaimers.  Download , test, report bugs. Thanks much. /ryan #thewholebrevitything

Howdy, folks! Another week, another beta. Since we released Beta 1 last week, we’ve committed more than 60 bug fixes and feature adjustments based on testing and feedback. If you’ve been testing Beta 1, please update to Beta 2 to make sure things are still working for you.

WordPress 3.4 is ready for beta testers! As always, this is software still in development and  we don’t recommend that you run it on a production site  — set up a test site just to play with the new version. If you break it (find a bug), please report it, and if you’re a developer, try to help us fix it

The South by Southwest Interactive Festival (SXSW) holds a special place in the history and heart of WordPress. Though the conference has changed in the years since I first met Matt in the hallway in 2003 — before WordPress even had a name — it’s still arguably one of the most influential events in our industry, and we’ll be there again this year
