While the plugin competition has come and gone, there is one plugin that I’m not done with just yet and that is the Advanced Exporter for WordPress and WordPress MU. Even though it did not take first place, I still think the WordPress userbase as a whole would benefit from having this plugins functionality built into the core of WordPress. You can watch the review of the plugin I did in a screencast video which showcases what the plugin does.
I believe this plugin functionality should be put into the core of WordPress and for that to happen, we have to show the core devs that there is a strong interest in it. To do so, log into Trac using your WordPress.org username and password as they are linked then direct your browser to Ticket 10317.
Below the link to view tickets, you’ll see a number with an up or down arrow to place a vote for the ticket. Please click the up arrow to vote for the inclusion into core. Of course if you don’t agree with having it in core, click the down arrow. The more votes a particular ticket has, the better the chance people will pay attention to it. While WordPress 2.9 is feature frozen, I wonder if we can get this into WordPress 3.0.
If you don’t think this should be in core, I’d like to know why.

The voting booth has opened to choose the WordCamp NYC logo. During the month of August, all sorts of entries were entered in the contest but only one of them will be used as the official logo. You can view all the entries here. Voting ends on September 7th at 5PM EST. My original idea that I was going to enter into the contest was a cross between entry 22 and 26. But, I never got around to creating the design. While there are quite a few cool designs on the page, I decide to stick with entry 23.
A late entry by Ozh which is not on the list to vote for but I’d love to buy as a T-Shirt.

Pretty awesome to see that in such a short notice, there were ten different header tweaks submitted including one by Kaspars Dambis. I placed my vote early this morning but I followed Janes instructions in opening each full view screenshot in a browser tab and viewing each one. I must have looked at all of them for about 7 minutes without any of them screaming out at me. I finally placed my vote and I’ll just say it was for a design tweak other than the current one.
One interesting thing to note is that when I voted, the second most voted for choice in the poll was to keep the current header design.
Have your say in the header design tweak before the poll closes tonight at 8PM EDT.
