Just a few days ago, Matt Mullenweg had a fascinating fireside chat with Sarah Lacy of PandoDaily. The chat covered such interesting things as the state of the WordPress community, the future of WordPress, working with distributed workforces, and Facebook and Tumblr. At almost two hours in length, it’s certainly a long watch, but well worth it, especially with a nice cold drink this weekend.

Developing a WordPress plugin is hard work, and by the time you’re done, the little details can sometimes be overlooked, like the appearance of the plugin’s icon in the Dashboard. I have used plenty of plugins in my time, and quite a few had pixelated icons or icons that just didn’t seem to look right overall. By the way, have you noticed that the default Dashboard icons are not colored until you hover or click on them? Yeah, now try to ignore the few plugins you have installed with constantly colored icons. To help new developers with their plugin icons, Matthias Kretschmann has created a handy template for WordPress admin icons with tons of tips. Now, no more excuses, get some good looking icons into your next plugin update.

Each plugin page now has a new Support tab populated with the plugins’s support thread, and a super-handy chart showing you the resolved vs. open thread count so you can see at a glance how well supported a plugin is. Finally, there is much more focus on the authors this time around and some improved styling over all. What do you think of the newly redesigned plugin directory?

The WordPress core team is pulling out all the stops this year and shooting for a big summit to be attended by prominent contributors and community members. Instead of the traditional meet up, which is typically attended by only the core developers and their chosen guests, the core team is now looking for your nominations to decide who will attend the first ever WordPress Community Summit.

Sure, you can nominate […]
