It was subsequently promoted to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress">WordPress/WordPress</a>. What I neglected to do, however, was provide an appropriate <code>authors.txt</code> file, until recently. That means that earlier commits are attributed to dummy e-mail addresses and as such cannot be associated with user accounts on GitHub. Considering the recent introduction of <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/https://github.com/blog/1360-introducing-contributions">contributions on GitHub</a>, this seems a shame. Also, if we were to move to Git in the future, we would probably want our official mirror to have the best possible data.</p> <h2>Proposed</h2> <p>That we re-run the <code>git-svn</code> import with a proper <code>authors.txt</code> file.</p> <h2>Upsides</h2> <p>We’ll have a proper Git mirror with good and consistent author data, that we can, if desired, use for a future migration to Git. Commits will be properly attributed in GitHub.</p> <h2>Downsides</h2> <p>This will break Git history. If you have a Git checkout of WordPress, either standalone or in a submodule, that’ll mean that you’ll have to rebase your master branch off of <code>origin</code> (or even better, blow the whole thing away and re-clone).</p> <p>So: thoughts? Would this ruin your day?</p> </div> <div class="discussion" style="display: none"> <p> <img alt=""

It’s good, but it has some problems:</p> <ul> <li><span style="line-height: 13px">It’s hard to discover. A tiny button that doesn’t stand out from other buttons.</span></li> <li>The transition is a bit jarring. Your content goes away, you land on another screen, and your content reappears. It feels like there is a cost to switching.</li> <li>It isn’t as fully-featured as it should be. If it isn’t capable of easily (and by that I, I mean without keyboard shortcuts) doing the majority of the formatting people need to do while writing, people are going to be disinclined to use it.</li> <li>It could use some polish. Some of the interactions are janky, and it’s not very responsive to large screens. There are strange issues that happen when you get to the end of a line or do a line break near the bottom of the editor. The Esc key doesn’t work when in TinyMCE. Lots of little stuff like that.</li> </ul> <p>What I need is someone with CSS skills and JS competency to take on a bunch of little improvement projects for DFW. If you have those skills and care about making a beautiful and functional distraction-free writing experience for WordPress, speak up!</p> </div> <div class="discussion" style="display: none"> <p> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/31c9246c917b5a53e34ae693b37840ac?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://profiles.wordpress.org/users/markjaquith/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Mark Jaquith</a>, <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/436de2182b7b47d9cbbe132a6ef8f705?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://thematosoup.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Slobodan Manic</a>, <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/23e12888dcd87d07434b7621bc164958?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://profiles.wordpress.org/users/johnbillion/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">John Blackbourn (johnbillion)</a>, and 10 others are discussing. <a href="#" class="show-comments">Toggle Comments</a> </p> </div> <div class="bottom-of-entry"> </div> <ul id="comments-2729" class="commentlist inlinecomments"> <li id="comment-7414" class="comment byuser comment-author-chriswallace even thread-even depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/382f2e673d551079e750e24a25df475a?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://upthemes.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Chris Wallace</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-08T21:08:43Z">9:08 pm <em>on</em> January 8, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/08/wordpress-3-6-distraction-free-writing-improvements/#comment-7414" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F08%2Fwordpress-3-6-distraction-free-writing-improvements%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-7414" class="commentcontent"><p>I’d like to help if you need me to.</p> </div> </li> <li id="comment-7415" class="comment byuser comment-author-theandystratton odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/6c55497dcc7aaa04244b0533f7ebff83?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://theandystratton.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Andy Stratton</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-08T21:08:48Z">9:08 pm <em>on</em> January 8, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/08/wordpress-3-6-distraction-free-writing-improvements/#comment-7415" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F08%2Fwordpress-3-6-distraction-free-writing-improvements%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-7415" class="commentcontent"><p>I’m interested and would like to get an idea of the list fo things to be done (CSS/JS).

Menus work pretty well but users, especially the less-technical ones, are easily confused. We’ve seen them try to add menus without names because they see the “Create Menu” button before they see the menu name field, we’ve seen them add a bunch of menus instead of menu items because they’re unclear on the difference, etc, etc. The goal for the 3.6 cycle is to make menus a little more intuitive and user friendly.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/mentions/markjaquith/" class="mention">@markjaquith</a> and I are excited to have @lessbloat leading this.

Also, managing any more than 4-5 menus is very painful as you constantly have to click the right and left arrows just to be able to select which menu to edit.

Ever since they were first introduced, there’s been a problem with proper author attribution on revisions (see<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16215"> #16215</a>), and we’re going to take a crack at fixing that in 3.6. Additionally, while the current diffs are pretty cool, and make a lot of sense to those of us that look at diffs everyday, there’s a lot of room for improvement for your average user. We’d like to see some UI improvements around the diffs as well as information that makes more sense to an average content creator (words changed, a visual representation of what was added/removed, prettier output, etc).</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/mentions/markjaquith/" class="mention">@markjaquith</a> and I chose <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/mentions/westi/" class="mention">@westi</a> to lead this.

We always want to be as extensible as possible and post statuses are one of those places where we’re not near as good as we should be. The plan goes something like this:</p> <ol> <li>Fully support the existing register_post_status() API in core <ul> <li>Make sure things don’t break when you add your own custom statuses</li> <li>Update the metabox UI to show any newly registered statuses in the drop down, etc.</li> <li>Add a ‘moderation’ flag so that unpublished statuses can be explicitly identified</li> <li>Support for non-standard public post statuses</li> </ul> </li> <li>Enhance the existing API <ul> <li>Add support for registering post statuses to specific post types</li> <li>Allow for caps checks on different post statuses</li> <li>New remove_post_status() function for removing an already-registered post status</li> </ul> </li> <li>Editing workflow for already published content</li> </ol> <p>Additionally, we hope to address some issues around post meta for revisions, which is tightly related to the workflow for already published content.</p> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/mentions/markjaquith/" class="mention">@markjaquith</a> and I have chosen Daniel Bachhuber to lead this.

Instead, I’ll describe the sort of website I’m talking about:</p> <p>Anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 pages (and let’s not talk about PDFs!)<br/> Anywhere from 3 to 7 levels deep: the site I’m currently working on will be 7 levels deep minimum<br/> The majority of content not chronologically based<br/> Several hundred distributed authors, located around the state, spread throughout maybe 60 business areas, each with their own signoff processes.<br/> Centralised editorial quality assurance<br/> Complex workflows:<br/> One piece of content may need to go through 5 levels of approvals<br/> Another may only need to go through 2 levels<br/> There will be different approval steps and different users for different content types and different categories<br/> Example: Content author -> Manager -> Communications -> Web Editor -> Tech QA -> Publish.<br/> Note: It’s not about traffic. We all know WordPress can scale, for example as in the case of WordPress.com. Rather it is about complexity and the ability of WordPress to handle this sort of site out of the box.”</p> <p>Cheers.</p> </div> <ul class="children"> <li id="comment-7373" class="comment byuser comment-author-markjaquith odd alt depth-2"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/31c9246c917b5a53e34ae693b37840ac?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://profiles.wordpress.org/users/markjaquith/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Mark Jaquith</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-08T03:58:16Z">3:58 am <em>on</em> January 8, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-edit-flow/#comment-7373" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F07%2Fwordpress-3-6-edit-flow%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-7373" class="commentcontent"><p>So, the workflow and QA things you mention are kind of where this is going.

One of the trickest things to work around is to allow users without publish rights to submit updates to content with out taking that content offline. Seems like we could serve up the last published revision, assuming we have all metadata and taxonomy selection attached to the revision, rather than taking the main page off line. Right now I’m using a customized version of Boston Universities Versions Plugin, which does an OK job, but would be nice if this was built into core. </p> <p>The way it works now is “ok” for posts and news style items, but really seems to break down when dealing with pages.</p> </div> </li> </ul> </li> <li id="prologue-2711" class="post-2711 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-uncategorized tag-3-6"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/author/markjaquith/" title="Posts by Mark Jaquith ( @markjaquith )" class="post-avatar"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/31c9246c917b5a53e34ae693b37840ac?s=48&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D48&r=G" class="avatar avatar-48 photo" height="48" width="48"/> </a> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/author/markjaquith/" title="Posts by Mark Jaquith ( @markjaquith )">Mark Jaquith</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-07T19:42:29Z">7:42 pm <em>on</em> January 7, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking/" class="thepermalink" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F07%2Fwordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking%2F">Log in to leave a Comment</a> </span> <span class="tags"> <br/>Tags: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/3-6/" rel="tag">3.6 ( 9 )</a>    </span> </span> </h4> <div id="content-2711" class="postcontent"> <h2><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking/">WordPress 3.6: Autosave and Post Locking </a></h2><p>I want, as a major 3.6 bullet point, that we should never lose posts due to expired cookies, loss of connection, inadvertent navigation (even if AYS’d), plugin or core errors on save, browser crashes, OS crashes, cats walking on keyboards, children drooling in keyboards, etc. I want people to trust WordPress with their posts. They should never fear that something they’ve spent time creating or editing should go away due to their mistake or ours or that of a third party. Mistakes and errors should be recoverable. I can’t stress enough how important it is that people believe this and have good reason to believe it. If a post gets lost, there is a catastrophic loss of trust, that could take years to be regained (if indeed it ever is). This is people’s time and their creative output we’re talking about. If we’re not valuing those things above all else, then our priorities are seriously out of order. This is an all-hands-on-deck item for 3.6. Even if you’re not actively working on the code or the copy or the UI or the UX I want you to be thinking about ways in which WordPress could better treat your creative output as the valuable artifact it is.</p> <p>Things this will likely involve:</p> <ul> <li>Local storage of post data while editing, in-between autosaves and manual saves.</li> <li>More frequent “heartbeat” pings to the server (allowing data to hitch a ride at certain intervals, and also allowing us to quickly deliver messages back from the server about events).</li> <li>Real and more granular post locking.

Its possible to do something with websockets for the maybe 2% of sites that have that enabled, but for most people, the regular admin-ajax calls could be used to pass messages back and forth about what other users are viewing, if one user requests a release of the lock, etc.</li> </ul> </div> </li> </li> <li id="comment-7326" class="comment byuser comment-author-adamsilverstein even thread-even depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/08001a0a424aed1382375a446ed690d6?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://earthbound.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">adamsilverstein</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-07T21:07:26Z">9:07 pm <em>on</em> January 7, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking/#comment-7326" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F07%2Fwordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-7326" class="commentcontent"><p>i’m interested in helping if i can</p> </div> </li> <li id="comment-7331" class="comment byuser comment-author-tentblogger odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/2801f5145de98010dd72f1ac6d92938f?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://john.do/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">John Saddington</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-07T21:19:39Z">9:19 pm <em>on</em> January 7, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking/#comment-7331" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F07%2Fwordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-7331" class="commentcontent"><p>omg. yes.</p> </div> </li> <li id="comment-7333" class="comment byuser comment-author-adegans even thread-even depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/70b56f2fbcdaf82e34471d97456fb2a7?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://www.ajdg.net/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Arnan de Gans</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-07T21:22:48Z">9:22 pm <em>on</em> January 7, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking/#comment-7333" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F07%2Fwordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-7333" class="commentcontent"><p>And on top of that… While you guys are at it, make the dashboard, the whole of it, faster.

This is a great goal, and worthy of the urgency you’ve expressed! Since you mentioned post revisions, I’d like to recommend that we think about how to better compare post/page/CPT revisions within the rich text editor. As it is currently implemented, non-technical users have difficulty comparing large amounts of plain-text and raw HTML, and often give up immediately when using the compare feature. Developers are accustomed to the unified diff format, but we’re the only ones.</p> <p>Could we take inspiration from the review/editing/comparison tools used in other popular copy-editing apps (i.e., MS Word) that would make a copywriter feel more at home when comparing content revisions?</p> </div> <ul class="children"> <li id="comment-7352" class="comment byuser comment-author-helen even depth-2"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/6506162ada6b700b151ad8a187f65842?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://helen.wordpress.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Helen Hou-Sandi</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-08T00:11:30Z">12:11 am <em>on</em> January 8, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking/#comment-7352" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F07%2Fwordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-7352" class="commentcontent"><p>Separate feature <img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="wp-smiley"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-revisions/" rel="nofollow">http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-revisions/</a></p> </div> </li> </ul> </li> <li id="comment-7466" class="comment byuser comment-author-mintindeed odd alt thread-even depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/33de789aa3fc0dc60bdc4b7df3a9b0c3?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://gabrielkoen.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Gabriel Koen</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-09T21:18:03Z">9:18 pm <em>on</em> January 9, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking/#comment-7466" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F07%2Fwordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-7466" class="commentcontent"><p>I’d like to lend a hand with this, I can provide user insight (our dev team has been fielding issues regarding this topic for a few years from a large staff of writers) as well as do PHP and JS coding for it.</p> </div> <ul class="children"> <li id="comment-7550" class="comment byuser comment-author-mbijon even depth-2"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/3ae8ccfad8ccf8eb113695bdf63b5fca?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://www.mbijon.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Mike Bijon</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-13T00:46:49Z">12:46 am <em>on</em> January 13, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking/#comment-7550" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F07%2Fwordpress-3-6-autosave-and-post-locking%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-7550" class="commentcontent"><p>Definitely loop Gabriel in on this, I’ve been using his ‘PMC Post Savior’ plugin recently and it’s been a huge help in preventing lost posts: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/https://github.com/Penske-Media-Corp/pmc-post-savior" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Penske-Media-Corp/pmc-post-savior</a>.</p> <p>The best part about Post Savior is the UX rethink.

It’s one of those features that has so much potential, but it really falls short in usability and honestly we haven’t really taken the time to truly show what it can do. We’re going to re-think the admin UI for post formats, similar to what Alex King did with his <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://alexking.org/blog/2011/10/25/wordpress-post-formats-admin-ui">WordPress Post Formats Admin UI</a> plugin. The goal is to make post formats much more user friendly and then show them off with the 2013 theme.</p> <p>We’ve chosen <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/mentions/helen/" class="mention">@helen</a> as lead for this project.

The 3.6 schedule is considerably shorter than the 3.5 schedule was, so we really need to get moving on things as quickly as possible.</p> </div> <div class="discussion" style="display: none"> <p> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/29c9306fe6701ad04933625135a45418?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://wp.envato.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Japh</a>, <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/436de2182b7b47d9cbbe132a6ef8f705?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://thematosoup.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Slobodan Manic</a>, <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/7154ed295c1cdb899741bdfd663241e4?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://davebc.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">davebc</a>, and 26 others are discussing. <a href="#" class="show-comments">Toggle Comments</a> </p> </div> <div class="bottom-of-entry"> </div> <ul id="comments-2704" class="commentlist inlinecomments"> <li id="comment-7288" class="comment byuser comment-author-pauldewouters even thread-even depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/dcb7cc657c19726b709098172efa1b6d?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://wpconsult.net/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Paul</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-07T18:15:50Z">6:15 pm <em>on</em> January 7, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-the-post-formats-ui-feature/#comment-7288" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F07%2Fwordpress-3-6-the-post-formats-ui-feature%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-7288" class="commentcontent"><p>take a look at what Hybrid does in its latest release<br/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://themehybrid.com/docs/tutorials/post-format-tools" rel="nofollow">http://themehybrid.com/docs/tutorials/post-format-tools</a></p> </div> <ul class="children"> <li id="comment-7310" class="comment byuser comment-author-aaroncampbell bypostauthor odd alt depth-2"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/f27b79eb04eb414c4c1fc98375fe7404?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://profiles.wordpress.org/users/aaroncampbell/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Aaron D.

We’re back to our regularly scheduled IRC meetings tomorrow, and are going to start by scoping and planning out the 3.6 cycle. Wednesday, Jan 2, 21:00 UTC. Please make every effort to attend! The theme I’m proposing for 3.6 is “Content Editing”, so especially start thinking about editing, editorial workflows, revisions, autosave, DFW, etc. Also be thinking about what you’d like to work on and how much time you can commit this cycle.</p> </div> <div class="discussion" style="display: none"> <p> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/b17afebed7d20724f2a79e7de70ddf44?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://www.mojowill.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">mojowill</a>, <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/7916cf374479c08b91ed386318671877?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://www.rocketwood.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">David Tufts</a>, <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/7b8ff059b9a4504dfbaebd4dd190466e?s=16&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D16&r=G" class="avatar avatar-16 photo" height="16" width="16"/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://copyblogger.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Ron Rennick</a>, and 4 others are discussing. <a href="#" class="show-comments">Toggle Comments</a> </p> </div> <div class="bottom-of-entry"> </div> <ul id="comments-2692" class="commentlist inlinecomments"> <li id="comment-7263" class="comment byuser comment-author-tentblogger even thread-even depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/2801f5145de98010dd72f1ac6d92938f?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://john.do/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">John Saddington</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-02T02:45:29Z">2:45 am <em>on</em> January 2, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/02/wordpress-3-6-planning-session/#comment-7263" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F02%2Fwordpress-3-6-planning-session%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-7263" class="commentcontent"><p>booya. this will be awesome. can’t wait to see what 3.6 brings in terms of content editing, especially for editors of blog and blog networks. bingo.</p> </div> </li> <li id="comment-7265" class="comment byuser comment-author-japh odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://0.gravatar.com/avatar/29c9306fe6701ad04933625135a45418?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F0.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://wp.envato.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">Japh</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-02T02:49:02Z">2:49 am <em>on</em> January 2, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/02/wordpress-3-6-planning-session/#comment-7265" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F02%2Fwordpress-3-6-planning-session%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-7265" class="commentcontent"><p>I plan to be there, Mark!

After discussing the multisite roadmap at WPCS I went through most of the multisite tickets. For 3.6 I think it would be good if we went through and cleaned up some of the small enhancements and UX inconsistencies. I’ll have a few hours a week throughout most of the 3.6 cycle to work on those items.</p> </div> </li> <li id="comment-7269" class="comment byuser comment-author-rocketwood odd alt thread-odd thread-alt depth-1"> <img alt="" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932im_/http://1.gravatar.com/avatar/7916cf374479c08b91ed386318671877?s=32&d=http%3A%2F%2F1.gravatar.com%2Favatar%2Fad516503a11cd5ca435acc9bb6523536%3Fs%3D32&r=G" class="avatar avatar-32 photo" height="32" width="32"/> <h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://www.rocketwood.com/" rel="external nofollow" class="url">David Tufts</a> <span class="meta"> <abbr title="2013-01-02T15:53:35Z">3:53 pm <em>on</em> January 2, 2013</abbr> <span class="actions"> <a class="thepermalink" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/02/wordpress-3-6-planning-session/#comment-7269" title="Permalink">Permalink</a> | <a rel="nofollow" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130113210932/http://make.wordpress.org/core/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fcore%2F2013%2F01%2F02%2Fwordpress-3-6-planning-session%2F">Log in to Reply</a> </span> </span> </h4> <div id="commentcontent-7269" class="commentcontent"><p>As far as the custom fields and custom meta boxes go, I would like to see extendable form elements in WordPress similar to the extendable widgets. There should be a base form element class that all other form elements can extend, allowing for all form elements in the custom meta boxes to be generated using built in WordPress elements like, date picker, color picker, editor, etc. This would include input validation and all the sql validation as well. I have added something similar to this in the KickPress plugin that is in the plugin repository.
