How? Bug hunts! Yes, that time-honored tradition (in the time of WordPress, anyway) of everyone pitching in to test patches and report the results, working on solutions to major bugs, and helping to clear out Trac has come around again, and we&#8217;re scheduling not one, but two bug hunts over the next couple of weeks to ensure that everyone has enough time to prepare and <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/">participate</a>.</p>
<p><strong>#1</strong> &#8211; The first bug hunt of 2.9 will be Thursday through Saturday, November 5-7, 2009. This should give people a few days to plan for it, upgrade their dev environments if they haven&#8217;t been following trunk, and figure out how to allot their time. We&#8217;re stretching over both weekdays and weekend to try and accommodate everyone&#8217;s schedule.</p>
<p><strong>#2 </strong>- The second bug hunt will be a week later, Saturday through Monday, November 14-16, 2009. This should make it possible for anyone who needs more than a week to set some time aside to participate. This bug hunt will coincide with <a href="http://2009.newyork.wordcamp.org/">WordCamp NYC</a>, where a special Hacker Room will be set aside for people to go and work on 2.9 bug tickets alongside regular core contributors including Mark Jaquith and Matt Martz (sivel from IRC).</p>
<h4>The Goals</h4>
<p><strong>Test, test, test existing patches!</strong> You can see all tickets with patches that need testing by checking <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/13">this report</a>. When you&#8217;ve tested a patch, report your results in the ticket comments, so core committers can see how the patch is faring.</p>
<p><strong>Fix known bugs! </strong>You can see the bugs that need patches by checking <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/16">this report</a>. Look for the ones that seem that they&#8217;ll affect the most people or have the biggest impact by being fixed. Edge case bugs should be lower priority.</p>
<p><strong>Report new bugs! </strong>As you&#8217;re testing out the development version, if you come across a bug, <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/search">search trac</a> to see if someone has reported it yet. If so, add a comment with your experience to the ticket so we&#8217;ll know it&#8217;s affecting more than one person. If no ticket exists yet, <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/newticket">create one</a>.</p>
<p>Core committers will be around (in the #wordpress-dev channel at irc.freenode.com) both weekends to review patches that have been thoroughly tested, answer questions as needed, and give feedback on patches that need more work before being commit-worthy.</p>

Not only are the team members added to this site, but so are a number of other projects/sites that are not strictly WordPress related. I realize the team members are busy and some of them contribute to the WordPress project not employed by Automattic but I would like to see more posts published by them focused on the WordPress project. For example, I attend some of the developer chats and I see requests for unit tests or explanations as to how tickets in Trac should be treated yet I don&#8217;t see consistent information published to the public explaining this. Sure, the end user facing crowd has no interest in this, but there are a ton of plugin and theme authors as well as enthusiasts who would be.

Some of the topics being presented are:</p>
<p><strong>Getting off the Farm:</strong><br />WPMU Beyond Blog Hosting. We all know that WPMU can be used to host multiple blogs for public or internal signups. But what else can you do? How far can you stretch it? I’ll be showcasing a number of sites that use WPMU in interesting ways. Speaker: Andrea Rennick.</p>
<p><strong>Writing Plugins for WordPress/MU:</strong><br />This session will be directed toward plugin developers. We will discuss platform differences &#038; guidelines to keep in mind when writing a plugin for both WordPress &#038; WordPress MU. Speaker: Ron Rennick.</p>
<p><strong>User Authentication with MU in Existing Ecosystems.</strong><br />Speaker: Casey Bisson.</p>
<p><strong>How-to with MU: Using Multiple Domains, and Building a Member Directory.</strong><br />A two-part session where we will dig in to two different concepts. First up, we’ll cover how to domain map member blogs, and the difference between multiple sites and multiple domains. The second half will cover how we built a business/member directory and what plugins we used to accomplish this so you can build one too. Speaker: Andrea Rennick.</p>
<p><strong>Growing Community with BuddyPress:</strong><br />Speaker: Lisa Sabin-Wilson.</p>
<p><strong>Creating Killer Group Extensions in BuddyPress:</strong><br />In this session learn how to build highly custom feature extensions to BuddyPress groups. Andy will be talking through how you can use the new group extension API to build Twitter stream integration right into your groups. Speaker: Andy Peatling.</p>
<p><strong>Developing BuddyPress as a Collaboration Hub:</strong><br />In this presentation, I’ll discuss some of the BuddyPress development I’ve done to bridge the WordPress/bbPress/MediaWiki platforms, taking BP beyond its roots as a social networking platform and turning it into a collaboration hub: a space where users can find, friend, and team up with each other (the social networking part BP that does well), work together to produce content (that’s the “collaborationâ€ part), and feed the content back into BP (that’s the “hubâ€ part).

Some of the topics being presented are:</p>
<p><strong>Getting off the Farm:</strong><br />WPMU Beyond Blog Hosting. We all know that WPMU can be used to host multiple blogs for public or internal signups. But what else can you do? How far can you stretch it? I’ll be showcasing a number of sites that use WPMU in interesting ways. Speaker: Andrea Rennick.</p>
<p><strong>Writing Plugins for WordPress/MU:</strong><br />This session will be directed toward plugin developers. We will discuss platform differences &#038; guidelines to keep in mind when writing a plugin for both WordPress &#038; WordPress MU. Speaker: Ron Rennick.</p>
<p><strong>User Authentication with MU in Existing Ecosystems.</strong><br />Speaker: Casey Bisson.</p>
<p><strong>How-to with MU: Using Multiple Domains, and Building a Member Directory.</strong><br />A two-part session where we will dig in to two different concepts. First up, we’ll cover how to domain map member blogs, and the difference between multiple sites and multiple domains. The second half will cover how we built a business/member directory and what plugins we used to accomplish this so you can build one too. Speaker: Andrea Rennick.</p>
<p><strong>Growing Community with BuddyPress:</strong><br />Speaker: Lisa Sabin-Wilson.</p>
<p><strong>Creating Killer Group Extensions in BuddyPress:</strong><br />In this session learn how to build highly custom feature extensions to BuddyPress groups. Andy will be talking through how you can use the new group extension API to build Twitter stream integration right into your groups. Speaker: Andy Peatling.</p>
<p><strong>Developing BuddyPress as a Collaboration Hub:</strong><br />In this presentation, I’ll discuss some of the BuddyPress development I’ve done to bridge the WordPress/bbPress/MediaWiki platforms, taking BP beyond its roots as a social networking platform and turning it into a collaboration hub: a space where users can find, friend, and team up with each other (the social networking part BP that does well), work together to produce content (that’s the “collaborationâ€ part), and feed the content back into BP (that’s the “hubâ€ part).

Woohoo!</p>
<p><strong>A quick note about installation:</strong> WordPress for iPhone 2 is a new app, and the previous version won&#8217;t automatically update to 2.0.  Installing it won&#8217;t overwrite any previous version you have installed. When you launch the new app, you&#8217;ll immediately see &#8220;Version 2.0&#8243; at the bottom of the screen. When you&#8217;re no longer using it, you can safely remove the previous version from your device.</p>
<p>Our efforts were focused on creating a better user experience &#8212; the beginnings of a user interface overhaul that we&#8217;ll continue with the next version, and eliminating the bugs and incompatibilities with some self-hosted WordPress setups that was the source of the majority of the support requests we see in the <a href="http://iphone.forums.wordpress.org">forum</a>.</p>
<p>So, what&#8217;s new in version 2?</p>
<ul>
<li>A new, more efficient user interface that makes it faster to switch between comments, posts, and pages.</li>
<li>Various user interface refinements and bug fixes</li>
<li>New Comments interface, with Gravatars and the author URL shown in the comment list</li>
<li>Passwords are now stored in the keychain</li>
<li>Posts are now automatically saved and restored if network connection is lost during publishing</li>
<li>Added persistence, so the app re-opens in the blog you last used</li>
<li>Added an interface for manually entering the XMLRPC endpoint for non-standard setups</li>
<li>Fixed rotation-related visual glitches</li>
<li>Fixed errors where malformed XML prevented access to XMLRPC endpoint</li>
<li>Fixed edge case where local drafts were sometimes not saved</li>
<li>Fixed the order of photos so that they&#8217;re displayed in the order they&#8217;re uploaded</li>
</ul>
<p>WordPress for iPhone, just like WordPress itself, is an Open Source app. Our source code is publicly available, and anyone can contribute to it.

<p>Just a reminder: we&#8217;ve started a new blog called <a href="http://iphonedev.wordpress.org">Making WordPress for iPhone</a>, where we&#8217;ll talk about the features we&#8217;re tackling for the next version of the app, and keep you up to date on our progress.

<h3>Affiliate Program</h3>
<p>The affiliate program is really core to how we want the HelpCenter to work (note: anyone can join the affiliate program). It creates a formal relationship between WPHC and plugin and theme authors so that we can support the great WordPress development community. It sets up:</p>
<ul>
<li>WPHC to pay plugin and theme authors when we do paid work with plugins or themes they created.</li>
<li>Makes it easy for plugin and theme authors give us FAQs and tips about the things they have built so that we can provide great support for them.</li>
<li>Builds relationships with plugin and theme authors so we can send them bug reports and contact them with advanced issues we are dealing with.</li>

<p>We have a collection of badges that plugin and theme authors can place on their web sites and in the WordPress admin pages for their plugins and themes to direct people to the WordPress HelpCenter to get support (and earn affiliate payments).</p>
<p class="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexkingorg/4052816919/" title="WordPress Admin Badge by alexkingorg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2555/4052816919_8914fa1016_m.jpg" width="240" height="232" alt="WordPress Admin Badge" /></a></p>
<p>We also have released a <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wphelpcenter/" rel="external">WordPress plugin</a> that does two things:</p>
<ol>
<li>it adds a WordPress HelpCenter support tab to the admin interface to make it easy for people to contact WPHC for support.</li>
<li>It creates a system profile that details key information about a WordPress installation that is very useful in troubleshooting and debugging. This system profile can be sent to WordPress HelpCenter.</li>
</ol>
<p>Affiliates can download a customized version of this plugin that includes their affiliate code so that they receive a referral payment in addition to any payments for work we do with plugins and themes they have registered with us.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexkingorg/4053576486/" title="HelpCenter tab by alexkingorg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2689/4053576486_59490be96b_m.jpg" width="240" height="111" alt="HelpCenter tab" /></a></p>
<p>We think that this may be something that plugin and theme authors may want to distribute along with their work. Additionally, developers that create WordPress powered sites but may not be in position to provide on-call support for them may want to install this on sites they create for their clients.</p>
<p>The system profile page created by the plugin uses standard WordPress filters to enable plugin and theme authors to add information to it that may be relevant for their plugins or themes.</p>
<p class="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexkingorg/4052835889/" title="System Profile by alexkingorg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2743/4052835889_c148d49133_m.jpg" width="240" height="104" alt="System Profile" /></a></p>
<p>I&#8217;m really excited about the affiliate program because it provides a monetary reward for plugin and theme developers while actually removing a burden from them and potentially freeing them up to spend more time building great things for the WordPress community.</p>
<p>Over the years I&#8217;ve thought and brainstormed quite a bit about ways to provide financial incentives for WordPress developers. Our affiliate program is a start. It&#8217;s a true win-win arrangement, and it will only get better as the WordPress community continues to grow.</p>
<h3>Public Knowledge Base</h3>
<p class="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/alexkingorg/4053576418/" title="Public Knowledge Base by alexkingorg, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3533/4053576418_802e93bbec_m.jpg" width="239" height="240" alt="Public Knowledge Base" /></a></p>
<p>The public knowledge base is another core element to WPHC and our vision of what we want it to be. We do troubleshooting and debugging of WordPress, plugin and theme issues every day, and this gives us a way to share the solutions we find with the community.</p>
<p>In addition to our own notes, when affiliates register plugins and themes with us they have the opportunity to add FAQs and tips about those plugins and themes. As appropriate, we then make that information publicly available.</p>
<p>Even better, the affiliates can come back and add additional FAQs and tips at any time. This is something I&#8217;m really excited about because the way that plugin README files work, they always lag one release behind on wordpress.org.</p>
<p>We have a section on the site for <a href="http://wphelpcenter.com/plugins/">plugins</a> and for <a href="http://wphelpcenter.com/themes/">themes</a>. There are a few resources up there now, I&#8217;m looking forward to watching these areas grow in the future as more affiliates sign up and register their plugins and themes with us.</p>
<p>I expect this to become a very useful resource for the WordPress community; one that grows nicely over time.</p>
<hr />
<p>I view the WPHC from several different perspectives.</p>
<ul>
<li>As the founder and a partner in the business, I want it to be financially viable so that we can maintain a great staff and provide top notch service.</li>
<li>As a WordPress professional, I need it to be a place I trust and feel comfortable referring my clients to for support.</li>
<li>As a WordPress developer, I want users of my plugins and themes to be able to get great support. I also know that with the growth of the WordPress community and the responsibilities I currently enjoy, I am no longer in a position to provide that support directly.</li>
</ul>
<p>From all of these perspectives, it is of paramount importance to me that the WordPress HelpCenter be a shining and trusted member of the WordPress community. The team and I are very committed to making that happen.</p>
<p>If we are able to continue to build it as we envision, the WordPress HelpCenter will be a great asset to the entire WordPress community. With these new features, I believe we&#8217;ve taken a few big steps in that direction.</p>

<h3>Affiliate Program</h3>
<p>The affiliate program is really core to how we want the HelpCenter to work (note: anyone can join the affiliate program). It creates a formal relationship between WPHC and plugin and theme authors so that we can support the great WordPress development community. It sets up:</p>
<ul>
<li>WPHC to pay plugin and theme authors when we do paid work with plugins or themes they created.</li>
<li>Makes it easy for plugin and theme authors give us FAQs and tips about the things they have built so that we can provide great support for them.</li>
<li>Builds relationships with plugin and theme authors so we can send them bug reports and contact them with advanced issues we are dealing with.</li>
<li>Rewards affiliates for referring business to us.</li>

The post highlights the fact that bbPress is not going away and that it is an important project for the WordPress community. After all, it powers the WordPress.org plugin repository, the support forums, and <a href="http://www.talkpress.com" target="_blank">TalkPress</a>, Automattics hosted forum service.</p>
<blockquote><p>Strategically the most important thing we need to figure out is how to integrate bbPress better with WP more for people who want that &#8212; right now it&#8217;s easier to use one of the WP plugins for forums than bbPress.</p></blockquote>
<p>I&#8217;ve only installed bbPress locally once to check it out but it&#8217;s not my cup of tea. I think the bbPress forum software is aimed at developers since it comes with all the basics to build on or around but doesn&#8217;t contain the feature set of modern forum software out of the box. For example, the <a href="http://simplepressforum.com/" target="_blank">SimplePress</a> plugin for WordPress Matt mentions is packed with more features than the dedicated forum software. One idea I&#8217;ve heard Matt discuss with Sam that I think has a ton of potential is to replace or add onto the WordPress comment system with bbPress. This type of tight integration between the two is what I believe Matt wants to figure out. It would be awesome to have such an easy way to not only have a forum where visitors can start their own conversations, but also leave comments on articles on the blog side of things. I hesitate to mention Vbulletin but it&#8217;s the software that comes to mind that takes this to the next level by offering their own CMS with the forum software built into it. </p>
<p>One of the best things bbPress has going for it right now is the work of Andy Peatling. In <a href="http://buddypress.org/blog/news/buddypress-1-1-released/" target="_blank">BuddyPress 1.1</a> Andy rewrote the forums component from the ground up to provide one click internal bbPress forum integration enabling users to setup forums in a fraction of the time. BuddyPress is gaining traction and as Matt says, has all the ingredients to become as large and successful as WordPress. I think the more people that use BuddyPress, the more that will use bbPress building that community simultaneously with BuddyPress. </p>
