[5:02 PM] <gsnedders> iCal alarm went off :P
[5:02 PM] <photomatt_lap> I just pulled over
[5:02 PM] <photomatt_lap> to find a starbucks
[5:02 PM] <rboren_lappy> I'm at Deaf Dog.
[5:02 PM] <photomatt_lap> I don't drink coffee, but their wifi is good
[5:02 PM] <gsnedders> :)
[5:03 PM] <stevecooley> Hey, I think I read SF is getting free wifi
[5:03 PM] <photomatt_lap> okay, the codex is loading for me
[5:03 PM] <photomatt_lap> as it's the day before thanksgiving, I don't expect too much today
[5:03 PM] <gsnedders> ...not in the UK...
[5:03 PM] <Podz> yup
[5:04 PM] <photomatt_lap> ah true
[5:04 PM] <Podz> we give thanks /every day/ :p
[5:04 PM] <gsnedders> and David, who posted the only thing, is in the UK
[5:04 PM] <photomatt_lap> haha
[5:04 PM] <photomatt_lap> so the question is how to make getting a WP.com account easier
[5:04 PM] <gsnedders> :)

[5:04 PM] <photomatt_lap> I think that may have been posted before we opened up registrations?

[5:04 PM] <gsnedders> 19th
[5:05 PM] <photomatt_lap> well, done!
[5:05 PM] <gsnedders> :)

[5:05 PM] <michel_v> yo
[5:05 PM] <photomatt_lap> let's talk about 2.0, how are we doing bugwise?
[5:05 PM] <anthonymcg> as a complete noob to this, i was slightly confused on how to get an API key for akismet
[5:06 PM] <gsnedders> photomatt_lap: try scrapping the form, make it easier :)
[5:06 PM] <anthonymcg> i have a wp powered blog so i didn't understand why i had to sign up with wordpress.com to get one
[5:06 PM] -->| mumbles (n=mumbles@cpc2-bror1-6-0-cust74.bmly.cable.ntl.com) has joined #wordpress-meetup
[5:06 PM] <photomatt_lap> anthonymcg: I'm making some changes to both sites to make that clearer
[5:06 PM] <mumbles> right
[5:06 PM] <mumbles> lo even
[5:07 PM] <anthonymcg> thanks, i'm a user since b2 but it was still slightly mystifying
[5:07 PM] <shep> image upload in 2.0 needs a lot of work
[5:07 PM] <photomatt_lap> we have 24 active tickets
[5:07 PM] <photomatt_lap> http://trac.wordpress.org/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&milestone=2.0
[5:07 PM] <Podz> shep, andy posted that that is being worked on
[5:08 PM] <shep> good
[5:08 PM] -->| alphaoide (n=alphaoid@c-24-126-217-237.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #wordpress-meetup
[5:08 PM] <mumbles> havent got round to testing 2.0 yet
[5:08 PM] <mumbles> installed will work on it tommow
[5:09 PM] <photomatt_lap> I think it's coming along fairly nicely
[5:10 PM] <photomatt_lap> there are some bugs I want to tackle the next day or two in a turkey-induced haze, then I think it would warrant a beta-3 that's more widely announced
[5:10 PM] -->| davidhouse (n=david@host86-132-143-1.range86-132.btcentralplus.com) has joined #wordpress-meetup
[5:11 PM] <davidhouse> have i missed the meetup?
[5:11 PM] <shep> no
[5:11 PM] <Podz> photomatt - you seem to have a target date ?
[5:11 PM] <shep> but the meetup missed you
[5:11 PM] <photomatt_lap> davidhouse: mostly ;)
[5:11 PM] <davidhouse> ah well.
[5:11 PM] <davidhouse> :)
[5:11 PM] <photomatt_lap> Podz: when it's ready! ;)
[5:12 PM] <Podz> hmm ...... seems to be being rushed a wee bit that's all
[5:12 PM] <shep> photomatt_lap: when is the new wp.org site going up?
[5:12 PM] <photomatt_lap> it is moving quicker than before, but we also have more people devoting more time than any previous release
[5:13 PM] <photomatt_lap> I think this will be the best-tested one yet
[5:13 PM] <photomatt_lap> shep: soonish, maybe with launch
[5:13 PM] <anthonymcg> will the media handling be fully ready for 2.0, yes?
[5:13 PM] <photomatt_lap> I can show you guys a URL I've been playing around with, not for sharing
[5:13 PM] <shep> :)
[5:13 PM] <Podz> matt - this is logged :)
[5:13 PM] <mumbles> whoever has the access can edit ?
[5:14 PM] <photomatt_lap> it's not THAT big a deal, but very unfinished - http://new.wordpress.org/
[5:14 PM] <photomatt_lap> layout errors, PHP errors, and blank pages everywhere
[5:14 PM] <mumbles> looking nice
[5:14 PM] <photomatt_lap> just starting to truck through it page-by-page
[5:15 PM] <davidhouse> nice :)
[5:15 PM] <anthonymcg> nice look alright
[5:15 PM] <TonySt> very nice
[5:15 PM] <anthonymcg> "state-of-the-art semantic personal publishing platform" - thats a mouthfull :)
[5:15 PM] <gsnedders> i'm not sure about the wordpress announcements at the bottom, almost looks out of place
[5:16 PM] <michel_v> matt: small alignment issue: I think the sidebar's top border should be aligned with the top of the content's letters
[5:16 PM] <mikelittle> The about page seems really light on the left. Maybe put the right content there?
[5:16 PM] <michel_v> that's the top of WordPress is a state of the art's W
[5:16 PM] <TonySt> I'm glad 'Code Is Poetry' survived :-)
[5:16 PM] <photomatt_lap> mikelittle: yep the menus aren't there yet, there will be navigation there
[5:16 PM] <davidhouse> the wordpress announcements bit can get mixed up with the left sidebar when the page is very short
[5:17 PM] <photomatt_lap> the layout hasn't been tested in any browser yet, just trying to get the framework there first
[5:17 PM] <davidhouse> sure,
[5:17 PM] <photomatt_lap> the markup is changing a bit, trying to make it lighter and cleaner
[5:17 PM] <mikelittle> Nice 404
[5:17 PM] <photomatt_lap> though it was pretty minimal before, most WP.org pages are only a few k
[5:18 PM] <photomatt_lap> so stay tuned, it should be more polished by next week
[5:18 PM] <mikelittle> Cool! Looks good.
[5:19 PM] * davidhouse is looking forward to the codex integration
[5:19 PM] <michel_v> I'm not a big fan of orphan links using bold georgia, but overall it's very nice
[5:20 PM] <photomatt_lap> squashing bugs is a bigger priority right now though, I think we can get 2.0 ready for release in early December
[5:20 PM] <davidhouse> just in time for christmas.
[5:21 PM] <davidhouse> the perfect present :)
[5:21 PM] <photomatt_lap> "give WP 2.0 for festivus"
[5:21 PM] <davidhouse> have we got a jazz player to name it after?
[5:21 PM] <photomatt_lap> not yet
[5:22 PM] <shep> christian mcbride!
[5:22 PM] <photomatt_lap> past that, there is a lot to clean up and optimize in the codebase for point releases
[5:22 PM] <shep> charlie hunter!
[5:22 PM] <photomatt_lap> but who knows, there may never be a 3.0. we're already addressing the vast majority of the needs of people out there
[5:22 PM] <davidhouse> you mean we might actually... finish... some software?
