To celebrate this, we&#8217;re throwing a WordPress BBQ at SxSW tomorrow so that there&#8217;s a place for us all to get together.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re a WordPress fan attending SxSW (or you just happen to be in Austin), please join us for lunch after 12pm* tomorrow, Sunday March 14. We&#8217;re getting the BBQ from Rudy&#8217;s and the red velvet cake from Central Market. Yum! Come, eat, talk about the cool things you&#8217;re doing with WordPress, let us know what we can do better, gossip about Mark Jaquith&#8217;s new hairstyle, whatever. Think of it like a WordCamp without presentations. I&#8217;ll be there, lead developers Mark Jaquith and Ryan Boren will be there, core contributors will be there, plugin and theme developers will be there, and basically all the most intelligent and attractive people from SxSW will be there. You should be, too!</p>
<p><strong>Location: </strong>Conjunctured coworking space, 1309 East 7th St., Austin, TX 78702. From the convention center, walk up to 7th Street, hang a right, and walk until you get to #1309. If you&#8217;re tired of walking, taking a cab is a decent option. Note that this is on the other side of I-35 from the convention center.</p>

But it can also lead you to explore the code to figure out why code <strong>doesn&#8217;t</strong> work. In this particular case, I spent many hours puzzling over why something didn&#8217;t work correctly, chasing down the root cause, and eventually finding a bug in the <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> core. I documented the bug in <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12394">Ticket #12394</a>, provided a patch, and it was committed to core in <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/13561">Changeset [13561]</a>, which will be part of WordPress 3.0.</p>
<p><span id="more-2026"></span></p>
<p>And how did I find this little buglet? As usual, it&#8217;s because I was doing something a little off the beaten track. I was working on some code which imports <acronym title="eXtensible Markup Language"><span class="caps">XML</span></acronym> data into WordPress, on a scheduled basis (hourly, daily, weekly, etc). During testing, sometimes the images in the imported content would come through fine, and other times, they would be missing the <code>src</code> attribute, without which, there really isn&#8217;t an image, is there? So you&#8217;d view the post and there would be this big 300-pixel square hole with just the alt text where the image <em>should</em> have been.</p>
<p>At first, I didn&#8217;t know why it worked only some of the time. Then I saw the pattern that when I ran the code &#8220;manually&#8221; via a &#8220;Run now&#8221; button in my options screen, the images worked. But when the code ran via <a title="Note: there is no good general cron overview article in the Codex. Volunteers?" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Category:WP-Cron_Functions">WP-Cron</a>, they didn&#8217;t. At first, I thought it was a timing issue, and that maybe when the cron action hooks fired, maybe there was some piece of WordPress functionality that wasn&#8217;t loaded yet. But shunting my execution hook to run at a later point didn&#8217;t fix anything.</p>
<p>Next, I decided that one key difference when running manually versus running from cron was <em>me</em> &#8212; I was logged in as an admin. And, in fact, after some debugging, I determined that there was no user context at all when running from cron. When I modified the code to run as myself, the image tags came through cleanly. Well, I didn&#8217;t want to hard-code the program to always run as me, so I added a user selector to the options so that the owner of the posts could be set.</p>
<p>But then when I started testing again, with users of various <a title="Roles and Capabilities in WordPress" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities">roles</a>, the problem cropped up again. In particular, it worked great for a user with the Editor role, but not for the Author role. Digging a little deeper into the differences between the two roles, the thing that jumped out at me is that Editors (and Admins) have the &#8220;<code>unfiltered_html</code>&#8221; capability.</p>
<p>You see, normally, when you write a post, it is sent through a series of filters which take your free-form writing, and turn it into cleaner <acronym title="HyperText Markup Language"><span class="caps">HTML</span></acronym>. One of these filters is called &#8216;<a title="kses kills evil scripts" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_kses">kses</a>&#8216; (which stands for &#8216;kses strips evil scripts&#8217;). This filter is especially important on multi-author blogs where you might not be able to give 100% trust to the other authors. Otherwise, one of them would be able to (for instance) put javascript in a post which would steal the cookie information from another user who reads the post. So it is the job of kses to ensure that only &#8220;safe&#8221; <acronym title="HyperText Markup Language"><span class="caps">HTML</span></acronym> is kept. This would also keep you from embedding things like YouTube videos, Java applets, and other fun useful things. So users with the <code>unfiltered_html</code> capability set in their profiles are able to post without this filtering.</p>
<p>This certainly seemed like a likely culprit, except for one thing: even when post content is filtered through kses, the <acronym title="HyperText Markup Language"><span class="caps">HTML</span></acronym> <code>img</code> tag is not filtered out. And neither is the <code>src</code> attribute on an image. That is specifically supposed to be allowed. An image is a perfectly normal thing to have in a post. So why, oh why, was my <code>src</code> attribute being stripped?</p>
<p>I started looking very closely at the kses library. It&#8217;s a rather hairy bit of code, full of complex regular expressions and state-machine logic. But when reverse-engineering how the attribute-cleaning bits work, I noticed something in one of the regular expressions: it was hardcoded to expect a space between the end of an attribute and the closing of a tag. In other words, it expected an image tag to look something like this:</p>
<p><strong><code>&lt;img width='400' height='300' src='people.jpg' /&gt;</code></strong></p>
<p>But, since my data was coming from an <acronym title="eXtensible Markup Language"><span class="caps">XML</span></acronym> source, there was no extraneous space. My image tags looked like this:</p>
<p><strong><code>&lt;img width='400' height='300' src='people.jpg'/&gt;</code></strong></p>
<p>Notice the subtle difference? There is no space between the final single-quote around <strong><code>'people.jpg'</code></strong> and the <strong><code>/&gt;</code></strong> which closes the tag.

<p>The next question was: was this (technically) a bug, or was kses just being strict about some rules of formatting? A quick search turned up the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.6">Empty Elements</a> section of the <acronym title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language"><span class="caps">XHTML</span></acronym> spec, which covers the syntax for empty tags like <code>img</code>, <code>br</code>, and <code>hr</code>. The examples given there do not include a space before the end of the elements. Furthermore, this section points to the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#guidelines"><acronym title="HyperText Markup Language"><span class="caps">HTML</span></acronym> Compatibility Guidelines</a>, which show that adding a space is for compatibility with older <acronym title="HyperText Markup Language"><span class="caps">HTML</span></acronym> browsers. So, since the <acronym title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language"><span class="caps">XHTML</span></acronym> spec does not require the space, and WordPress is supposed to render <acronym title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language"><span class="caps">XHTML</span></acronym> code, the behavior in kses was definitely a bug, and not just bad manners. I quickly worked up a patch, submitted it on <a title="The WordPress bug tracking system and code browser" href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/">Trac</a>, and brought it to the attention of the core team.</p>
<p>Fortunately, <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference">the WordPress system of filters</a> allows you to alter just about anything on the fly, so I was able to &#8220;trick&#8221; the system into thinking that the posting user selected in my plugin had the unfiltered_html capability, even when they really didn&#8217;t. This allowed me to work around the bug while my plugin is running.</p>
<p>This bug was pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. Probably not many people had ever run into it. But after hours of puzzling over those broken image tags, it felt darned good to find it, and &#8212; more importantly &#8212; squash it. And after the release of WordPress 3.0, nobody will have to scratch their heads over it again. Yay me!</p>

But it can also lead you to explore the code to figure out why code <strong>doesn&#8217;t</strong> work. In this particular case, I spent many hours puzzling over why something didn&#8217;t work correctly, chasing down the root cause, and eventually finding a bug in the <a href="http://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> core. I documented the bug in <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/12394">Ticket #12394</a>, provided a patch, and it was committed to core in <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/13561">Changeset [13561]</a>, which will be part of WordPress 3.0.</p>
<p><span id="more-2026"></span></p>
<p>And how did I find this little buglet? As usual, it&#8217;s because I was doing something a little off the beaten track. I was working on some code which imports <acronym title="eXtensible Markup Language"><span class="caps">XML</span></acronym> data into WordPress, on a scheduled basis (hourly, daily, weekly, etc). During testing, sometimes the images in the imported content would come through fine, and other times, they would be missing the <code>src</code> attribute, without which, there really isn&#8217;t an image, is there? So you&#8217;d view the post and there would be this big 300-pixel square hole with just the alt text where the image <em>should</em> have been.</p>
<p>At first, I didn&#8217;t know why it worked only some of the time. Then I saw the pattern that when I ran the code &#8220;manually&#8221; via a &#8220;Run now&#8221; button in my options screen, the images worked. But when the code ran via <a title="Note: there is no good general cron overview article in the Codex. Volunteers?" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Category:WP-Cron_Functions">WP-Cron</a>, they didn&#8217;t. At first, I thought it was a timing issue, and that maybe when the cron action hooks fired, maybe there was some piece of WordPress functionality that wasn&#8217;t loaded yet. But shunting my execution hook to run at a later point didn&#8217;t fix anything.</p>
<p>Next, I decided that one key difference when running manually versus running from cron was <em>me</em> &#8212; I was logged in as an admin. And, in fact, after some debugging, I determined that there was no user context at all when running from cron. When I modified the code to run as myself, the image tags came through cleanly. Well, I didn&#8217;t want to hard-code the program to always run as me, so I added a user selector to the options so that the owner of the posts could be set.</p>
<p>But then when I started testing again, with users of various <a title="Roles and Capabilities in WordPress" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities">roles</a>, the problem cropped up again. In particular, it worked great for a user with the Editor role, but not for the Author role. Digging a little deeper into the differences between the two roles, the thing that jumped out at me is that Editors (and Admins) have the &#8220;<code>unfiltered_html</code>&#8221; capability.</p>
<p>You see, normally, when you write a post, it is sent through a series of filters which take your free-form writing, and turn it into cleaner <acronym title="HyperText Markup Language"><span class="caps">HTML</span></acronym>. One of these filters is called &#8216;<a title="kses kills evil scripts" href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_kses">kses</a>&#8216; (which stands for &#8216;kses strips evil scripts&#8217;). This filter is especially important on multi-author blogs where you might not be able to give 100% trust to the other authors. Otherwise, one of them would be able to (for instance) put javascript in a post which would steal the cookie information from another user who reads the post. So it is the job of kses to ensure that only &#8220;safe&#8221; <acronym title="HyperText Markup Language"><span class="caps">HTML</span></acronym> is kept. This would also keep you from embedding things like YouTube videos, Java applets, and other fun useful things. So users with the <code>unfiltered_html</code> capability set in their profiles are able to post without this filtering.</p>
<p>This certainly seemed like a likely culprit, except for one thing: even when post content is filtered through kses, the <acronym title="HyperText Markup Language"><span class="caps">HTML</span></acronym> <code>img</code> tag is not filtered out. And neither is the <code>src</code> attribute on an image. That is specifically supposed to be allowed. An image is a perfectly normal thing to have in a post. So why, oh why, was my <code>src</code> attribute being stripped?</p>
<p>I started looking very closely at the kses library. It&#8217;s a rather hairy bit of code, full of complex regular expressions and state-machine logic. But when reverse-engineering how the attribute-cleaning bits work, I noticed something in one of the regular expressions: it was hardcoded to expect a space between the end of an attribute and the closing of a tag. In other words, it expected an image tag to look something like this:</p>
<p><strong><code>&lt;img width='400' height='300' src='people.jpg' /&gt;</code></strong></p>
<p>But, since my data was coming from an <acronym title="eXtensible Markup Language"><span class="caps">XML</span></acronym> source, there was no extraneous space. My image tags looked like this:</p>
<p><strong><code>&lt;img width='400' height='300' src='people.jpg'/&gt;</code></strong></p>
<p>Notice the subtle difference? There is no space between the final single-quote around <strong><code>'people.jpg'</code></strong> and the <strong><code>/&gt;</code></strong> which closes the tag. And because of the way the match was being done, kses was throwing away any attribute that abutted the tag-close in that fashion.</p>
<p>The next question was: was this (technically) a bug, or was kses just being strict about some rules of formatting? A quick search turned up the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#h-4.6">Empty Elements</a> section of the <acronym title="eXtensible HyperText Markup Language"><span class="caps">XHTML</span></acronym> spec, which covers the syntax for empty tags like <code>img</code>, <code>br</code>, and <code>hr</code>.

<p>As well as the security fix mentioned above, this version also fixes a few bugs, makes the blog signup process <a href="http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL2NvcmUudHJhYy53b3JkcHJlc3Mub3JnL3RpY2tldC8xMjE0MA==">much faster</a> and adds a new &#8220;Global Terms&#8221; Site Admin page.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Global Terms&#8221; page is one I should have added years ago. Currently it&#8217;s fairly bare, but hopefully in future versions of WordPress it will be expanded. It allows the Site Admin to &#8220;fix&#8221; the terms (tags and categories) used in MU blogs. These terms are normally synced with the &#8220;sitecategories&#8221; table but sometimes they go astray. This can happen if you &#8220;import&#8221; a blog using PHPMyAdmin without going through the WordPress importer, or if a plugin manipulates the terms table directly.<br />
WordPress MU forces the &#8220;slug&#8221; used by terms to be a sanitized version of the &#8220;name&#8221;, which isn&#8217;t the case in WordPress. This page can optionally rename the terms so they match the slug. It doesn&#8217;t do the opposite because that would break public facing URLs on the site.

For those running sites using the WordPress.org software the <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pushpress/">PuSHPress plugin</a> is available to do the same thing.  The big difference in this plugin compared to the other PuSH WordPress plugins is that it includes a PuSH hub built in.</p>
<h3>A little bit of PubSubHubbub background</h3>
<p>Like <a href="http://josephscott.org/archives/2009/09/rsscloud-for-wordpress/">rssCloud</a>, PuSH adds a line to your feed to let clients know where they can send PuSH subscription requests.  In the RSS2 feed this looks like:</p>
<pre class="brush: xml;">
&lt;atom:link rel="hub" href="http://josephscott.org/?pushpress=hub"&gt;
</pre>
<p>and in Atom looks like:</p>
<pre class="brush: xml;">
&lt;link rel="hub" href="http://josephscott.org/?pushpress=hub"&gt;
</pre>
<p>The href attribute contains the URL that subscribers can send requests to.  Details on <a href="http://pubsubhubbub.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pubsubhubbub-core-0.3.html#subscribing">what that request looks like</a> are in the <a href="http://pubsubhubbub.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pubsubhubbub-core-0.3.html">PubSubHubbub Spec</a>.  The short version, it&#8217;s a simple HTTP POST call with some specific field names.  </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an example PHP subscription request asking that updates to http://example.com/feed/ be sent to http://example.com/push/ via the hub at http://example.com/?pushpress=hub</p>
<pre class="brush: php;">
$curl = curl_init( );

curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://example.com/?pushpress=hub' );
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, 'hub.callback=http://example.com/push/&amp;hub.mode=subscribe&amp;hub.secret=not-telling-you&amp;hub.verify=sync&amp;hub.topic=http://example.com/feed/&amp;hub.verify_token=133t-$7r1n9' );
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1 );
curl_setopt( $curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1 );

curl_exec( $curl );
print_r( curl_getinfo( $curl ) );
curl_close( $curl );
</pre>
<p>The hub at example.com will then send new content (in feed format) right after it&#8217;s published to URL provided in hub.callback.</p>
<h3>Why the PuSHPress plugin?</h3>
<p>I love that there are large, open PuSH hubs available for anyone to use.  There&#8217;s a list at <a href="http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/wiki/Hubs">http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/wiki/Hubs</a>.  In PuSH since most of the hard work (figuring out what&#8217;s new in a feed and sending that out to subscribers) is done via the hub this is very handy and really great for testing.</p>
<p>I also think there&#8217;s a role for a readily available simple hub that anyone can put up and use, in this case built on top of WordPress.  And by leveraging WordPress the hub part can be greatly simplified.  The real bonus for users is choice, they can relay the updates through 3rd party hubs, or use the built in hub in PuSHPress.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that PuSHPress has a WordPress filter on the array of hubs; pushpress_hubs.  This allows other plugins to easily add to or replace the hubs mentioned in the feeds by PuSHPress.</p>
<p>To help keep things simple and limit potential abuse the PuSHPress plugin will only allow subscriptions for the RSS2 and Atom feeds of the WordPress blog that it is installed on.</p>
<p>My thanks to <a href="http://www.onebigfluke.com/">Brett Slatkin</a> for helping test PuSHPress.  His tests revealed a few bugs that were quickly addressed.</p>
<h3>How fast?</h3>
<p>When talking about these realtime-ish update features this question often comes up.  Fair enough, I&#8217;d want to know too :-)</p>
<p>The PuSHPress plugin schedules pings to go out right away via the <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_schedule_single_event">wp_schedule_single_event</a> function in WordPress.  I suspect for most people this will be quite fast.  If your server is under tremendous load and really slow, then this will be really slow too, just like the rest of the server ;-)</p>
<p>On WordPress.com the details are a bit different.  Instead of scheduling pings to be sent out with wp_schedule_single_event it adds them to our asynchronous jobs system ( more info available at <a href="http://code.trac.wordpress.org/">http://code.trac.wordpress.org/</a> ).  The jobs system is setup to do exactly these kinds of tasks really, really fast.  Don&#8217;t be surprised if the ping shows up before you get a chance to finish the first Mississippi.</p>
<h3>The future</h3>
<p>So where is all this going?  Who knows, but it is fun to watch!  :-)</p>

Many people were excited about the idea, but were unable to experiment with BuddyPress because they ran single installations of WordPress rather than the multi-site WordPress MU. To those people, good news! A little over a week ago Andy Peatling, founder and lead developer of BuddyPress, <a href="http://buddypress.org/blog/news/introducing-buddypress-1-2/">announced the release of BuddyPress 1.2</a>, which can be used on single installations of WordPress. Congratulations, BuddyPress! And congratulations to all the people who&#8217;ve been waiting with bated breath for this to happen.</p>
<p>The first thing I thought when I heard the news was, &#8220;Awesome! Now everyone can put BuddyPress on their site if they want it.&#8221; The second thought I had was, &#8220;Shoot! Average WordPress users won&#8217;t want to try BuddyPress if they have to switch their site themes over to the BuddyPress default theme just to try it out.&#8221; The third thought I had was, &#8220;That can&#8217;t be right. I&#8217;ll ask Andy.&#8221;</p>
<p>As it turned out, you could keep your current theme with BuddyPress if you added a couple of files and made a few file edits. There was even a link on the BuddyPress site to download the necessary files. That still seemed a little clunky, though, so Andy, super awesome guy that he is, went ahead and made a plugin to get you started. The <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bp-template-pack/">BuddyPress Template Pack</a> can be installed directly from your WordPress admin (Plugins &gt; Add New), and will walk you through the theme additions step by step.*</p>
<p>Now you can use BuddyPress with your single site installation of WordPress, and you can keep your existing theme. Seriously, could BuddyPress have made it any easier for you to add social networking to your site? I know I can&#8217;t wait to try it out this weekend, how about you?</p>

In that process we tend to modify functions by adding more variables to incorporate changes in them. However, unlike most of the other languages, PHP allows users to set default values for variables passed to a method too.</p>
<p>As a developer when you start out coding, you have a certain number of things a function will require in order for it to work, some may be optional too, so you set out to create a method signature similar to the one below.</p>
<p><code>function do_something($var1, $var2, $var3, $var4 = false, $var5 = '')&#160; { </code></p>
<p><code>//process business logic here </code></p>
<p><code>}</code></p>
<p>Now, say you release your plugin or theme and get more feedback on features and other improvements. If the features or improvements suggested require you to change the method signature to incorporate new variables and you use default values, you are in a bit of a spot. </p>
<p>So what is the best way to avoid such situations? In my opinion, if you use a function which accepts variables, it could easily scale to accept more parameters without breaking anything by accepting an array as a single parameter. The array would have to be built up either internally in the code somewhere or externally through the user.</p>
<p>So you could rewrite the above logic as below:</p>
<p><code>function do_something($args = array()) { </code></p>
<p><code>$myvar = (array_key_exists('mykey', $args)) ? $args['mykey'] : get_default_value('mykey'); </code></p>
<p><code>//process business logic here</code></p>
<p><code>}</code></p>
<p>Now, you would not expect a user to pass an array while using your non-widget based plugin in their themes, so you would have to provide users with an options page which will allow them to set the values they want to be passed to the function, and then build a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facade_pattern" target="_blank">Facade</a> function internally which will then read all the option values and pass it on to the main function to be processed.</p>
<p>I hear people saying that they can fetch the options from WordPress inside the function itself and there is not need for this Facade, however, in my experience of over 11 years in the software industry, I have learnt one important thing, never mix anything with business logic.</p>
<p>If a function is supposed to perform a task, let it perform only that and nothing else, that way you can reuse the function elsewhere without having to constantly rewrite it to adapt to different things.</p>
<p>I have seen several plugins which make use of arrays and several which do not. I would definitely be interested to learn on how you approach this, the comments form is open.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> From the comments below, many users mistook me. I never said that users cannot use wp_parse_args. However, being an OOPS developer, I stick with my above post and say that you should keep business logic separate from processing logic, no matter whether it is WordPress or any other platform, that is the basic fundamental I learnt in OOPS, and I do believe OOPS is the best fundamental and way to go forward.

<h3>Menus</h3>
<p>There&#8217;s been a flurry of blog posts about the integration of the WooThemes Custom Navigation into WordPress core, so I thought it was time we posted the official word. For 3.0, the main user-facing feature we wanted to include was a better site menu management system. Currently, dealing with menus is clunky, using Page IDs or in some cases categories, if a theme uses categories instead of pages for the menu. We wanted a menu system that had the drag and drop ease of the widget management screen, could combine Pages, Categories, and Links, was able to be re-ordered, allowed submenus, and enabled hiding specific Pages or Categories from the menu altogether. We were in the process of building this when <a href="http://www.woothemes.com/2010/01/the-awesome-custom-woo-navigation/">WooThemes introduced their Custom Navigation system</a>. Watching their introductory video, it seemed that their system did pretty much everything we wanted to do for core, so we reached out to them about contributing to core.</p>
<p>As you&#8217;ve probably heard, it worked out, and the first patch has been submitted. It does require some code modification, which is <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/11817">happening now</a>. The decision to incorporate the Woo menus happened right before our planned feature freeze for the 3.0 development cycle, so we pushed our freeze date back by two weeks to allow the addition. We&#8217;re now targeting the 3.0 release for early May, and we think it will be worth the extra two-week wait.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m personally really happy that it worked out this way, because I think it will show commercial theme and plugin authors that contributing to core is a win-win proposition. More people can contribute to and improve the basic functional code now, while WooThemes can continue to innovate on top of it for their customers. They get massive bragging rights (which I have no doubt will lead to even more customers), core gets a nice menu system without having to reinvent the wheel, and WordPress users all over the world will benefit. I&#8217;m hoping other plugin and theme developers will take a cue from Woo and look at core as a place for collaboration, rather than competition.</p>
<h3><strong>The Merge</strong></h3>
<p>It was announced at WordCamp San Francisco last year that WordPress and WordPress MU would be merging codebases. This has now happened in 3.0-alpha, and we&#8217;re working on smashing bugs and tidying up a few screens. If you&#8217;re currently using a single install of WordPress, when you upgrade to 3.0 you won&#8217;t see any of the extra screens associated with running a network of sites. If you&#8217;re currently running MU, when you upgrade you&#8217;ll notice a few labels changing, but upgrading should be as painless as usual. If you&#8217;re going to set up a new WordPress installation, you&#8217;ll be asked as part of the setup if you want one site or multiple sites, so that&#8217;s pretty simple. If you want to turn your single install into one that supports multiple sites, we&#8217;ll have a tool for you to use to do that, too. So if you&#8217;ve been worried about the merge, have a cup of chamomile tea and relax; it will all be fine. <img src="http://wordpress.org/development/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley" /> </p>
<h3><strong>Patch Sprint!</strong></h3>
<p>Okay, so where are we now? The new feature freeze date is on Monday, March 1, 2010. That means that after that date, no more enhancements or features will be added, and we&#8217;ll switch gears to focus solely on crushing bugs and fixing up the features that have already made it in. That means we only have a week to try and finish up the many Trac tickets on the 3.0 milestone that either need a patch or have a patch that needs testing. You can help! From now until noon eastern time on March 1 (that&#8217;s 17:00 UTC on March 1), <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/32">head on over to Trac and pitch in</a>. If you hit a wall, hop into the core development channel at #wordpress-dev on irc.freenode.net and hopefully one of the friendly core contributors can give you a push.</p>";s:7:"pubdate";s:31:"Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:56:10 +0000";s:2:"dc";a:1:{s:7:"creator";s:10:"Jane Wells";}s:7:"summary";s:4264:"<h4>A Report from the 3.0 Development Cycle</h4>
