The day after close, and there’s a sudden void in my life… what to do with all this spare time? Ahh.. documentation.

All wrapped!

Thank you so much Andrew, Beau, and Noel.

We were a little light on the blog here, but we should post our Skype chats.

Final check-in of MCE addition to bbPress and we’re out of time.

Argh! Last minute drama as I discover that one of the privacy-modifying plugins that I selected for use doesn’t actually work properly on all Posts/Pages on this version of WPMU.

Playing with WP Super Cache. Seems to clash with this alpha version of bbPress, so not going to be able to use it (without some debugging, which I don’t really have time for).

Lots of theme updates

I got the homepage set, so it’s all ready to rock. Navigation needs some work. I also poked around and made some changes here and there, and started cleaning up a few areas as I spotted them. Definitely feel free to change anything I’ve done (esp things like the events page — http://wpshowdown.com/blog/category/events/)

You’ll probably want to add some more sample content to really get a feel for things – I stupidly entered a bunch on my laptop so that doesn’t help you much If you want to add an event, just make a post and assign it to the “Events” category, then a new box should appear below the post area where you enter date/location details.

Here’s some specific elements that I know definitely need work/building/attention:

WPMU

Comments (should be threaded, with gravatars)
Sociable icons
Post Ratings (I’d like to get this consistent on bbPress as well if possible, even though it’s a different plugin)
Wiki-style revision history (e.g. at the bottom of this page when you’re logged in http://wpshowdown.com/about/)
Contact form (you can see it in action here now http://wpshowdown.com/contact/)
File uploads listings. I’ve uploaded a couple files here so you can see how (ugly) it is: http://wpshowdown.com/about/press/

bbPress

Homepage needs some filler content to see what’s what, and then an overhaul
Forum pages (http://wpshowdown.com/forums/forum/general) need their form cleaned up a lot.
Topic pages (http://wpshowdown.com/forums/topic/whats-everyone-doing) need all kinds of help Let’s get gravatar in there as well, perhaps something like http://mybabyourbaby.com/forums/topic/feature-requests-for-mybabyourbabycom)
Need to specifically style the file uploads section (I need to confirm that it’s working as welll…).
Links to people should go to the main blog, their author page. We’re going to set that up as a “global profile”. So something like http://wpshowdown.com/author/beaulebens/ although that doesn’t seem to work :-/
