I still bet I can outrun getting SD finished before they go final, because most things are already tested, and of the 11 issues, 5 of them are bugs, with the others being a day each at the outside (and likely less) to implement.

And there's only one of me working on SD's development.

I should note, I have a strongish feeling that their manual will be reverted back in before final, with the changes and testing (and bug fixes) that will go with that.

Now you know why 2.0 didn't :P

Oh, we probably have, we've discussed an awful lot and I know I've forgotten a decent % of it by now.

Precisely my point: a .0 release should grab me more than a single major feature that, IMNSHO, doesn't benefit a decent percentage of users.

Most things about WP's execution suck.

No, I agree with you there, that's the right approach to take. I just wanted to be sure we were on the same page.

We're coming up to the stage where we could call it 1.0 but to me it feels like something that should be one of the defining elements of our first release, you know?

IOW, that's a hint I should sculpt a bit quicker :P

Awesome (and a huge improvement)

Thing is, I could have sworn the create-topic hook in SMF was outside createPost because I did SD's equivalent inside the equivalent function and at the time I could have sworn I did so deliberately. But that was most of a year ago I added that integration hook to SD...

They bumped major version number for THAT? Somehow I just lost a lot of what respect I did left have for WP.

It is, prior to going into createPost. I seem to recall that hook being outside the create function though.

Nah, WPMU was around when I was looking for a blogging platform in 2008 when I first discovered WP.

That's almost half the problem: a number of those who are used to it can't see what's wrong with it.

Question: when a user quotes a post, it should be stripped, or left in, depending on whether they can see it - but presumably, admins and moderators will get it in the quote as well?

I bet I'll be done before them, hell I managed to implement several thousand lines of code since mid March, and just for fun they altered how one of the hooks works so I'm not even sure if what I have now will be compatible with both RC5 and final :/

I will actually do some Wedge work before finalising SD such as fixing the one known bug with drafts, and alongside that I'm debating adding the option to show/hide signature per post, it's a minor feature that I have been asked about (and the cost of implementing it is not particularly significant)

I can't remember off hand, but do I take it then that there are two hooks on post creation, one for new topics and one for any new posts? (There was a pre-existing on-new-topic hook that's been in SMF since forever)
