WordPress Core Trac Gardening
Scared of WordPress Core Trac, but want to give it a shot? Try Trac Gardening! – Helen on WordPressFor 3.7, the biggest goal (at least in my mind) is to blow through Trac and close as many tickets as possible, either through committing a patch or because they aren’t relevant anymore. At close to 3800 open tickets, Trac just isn’t manageable for anybody anymore (except perhaps for Sergey). Casual and hopeful patch contributors…Helen Hou-Sandí’s got a pretty great idea for folks looking to pitch in on core development:
For 3.7, the biggest goal (at least in my mind) is to blow through Trac and close as many tickets as possible, either through committing a patch or because they aren’t relevant anymore. At close to 3800 open tickets, Trac just isn’t manageable for anybody anymore.

Anonymity is bullshit
Anonymity is bullshit • Post StatusI’m a little fired up. Tonight, I saw an open-ended and, honestly, silly post from Torque about a strange WooCommerce extensions shop called WP Avengers.Anonymity is an option on the internet, but it is not an option for ethical business in my opinion.
