That&#8217;s where <a href=\"http://www.jckemp.com/\" target=\"_blank\">James Kemp</a>&#8216;s Magento WordPress Integration plugin comes in. It does all the fancy footwork necessary to make your Magento store look like part of your WordPress site. </p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/mwi.jpg\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/mwi.jpg?resize=560%2C124\" alt=\"mwi\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10193\" /></a><span id=\"more-10189\"></span></p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https://bitbucket.org/jamesckemp/mwi-magento-wordpress-integration/src\" target=\"_blank\">Magento WordPress Integration</a> plugin (MWI), is a solution that Kemp has been developing for several years. It provides the easiest way to get blocks, sessions and products from your Magento store and is capable of doing the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bring out any of the default Magento Blocks in your WordPress theme</li>\n<li>Bring out any Magento blocks that you have created yourself</li>\n<li>Bring out any static blocks that you have made in your Magento admin area</li>\n<li>Show Magento products on a WordPress post or page by using the shortcode add-on</li>\n<li>Show products from any category using the widget add-on</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Think there&#8217;s no demand for this? Think again. Kemp&#8217;s plugin has been downloaded more than 10,000 times. To celebrate, Kemp has made the code available on <a href=\"https://bitbucket.org/jamesckemp/mwi-magento-wordpress-integration/src\" target=\"_blank\">BitBucket</a>. He&#8217;s hoping that having the code available to the public will help to spark more contribution.</p>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_10196\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/kemp.jpg\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/kemp.jpg?resize=264%2C300\" alt=\"James Kemp, creator of the Magento WordPress Integration plugin\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10196\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">James Kemp, creator of the Magento WordPress Integration plugin</p></div>I&#8217;ve been following James Kemp&#8217;s work for several years and finally had the chance to chat with him about how the plugin is doing. </p>\n<p>He continues to develop the plugin due to the demand, which comes from both &#8220;light&#8221; users and developers. &#8220;The demand for MWI is fairly consistent,&#8221; he said. &#8220;On a calm day the mwi-plugin site gets ~30 unique visits, and mid-week on a busier day it will get ~100. It&#8217;s a very niche plugin, so I don&#8217;t expect thousands! The core plugin is mainly useful for developers I&#8217;d say, but I also get &#8220;light&#8221; users who are interested in the add-ons, so they can display products within their blogs. The demand for it is fairly steady at the moment.&#8221;</p>\n<p>The Magento and WordPress communities are fairly disconnected, which is understandable. You don&#8217;t see too many developers wanting to specialize in both platforms. Yet many users want them to work together. When building sites with a bridge, Kemp relies on WordPress for the more content-heavy aspects of the site:</p>\n<blockquote><p>Each system has solutions for the other, but none of them are quite as good as WordPress or Magento. I personally prefer to use WP for all aspects of content management; pages, news, callouts &#8211; using Magento for this is a bit of a nightmare. I use Magento for large stores, with complex product set-ups and discount systems, purely for the product catalogue and back-end ecommerce system.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Although he is an expert Magento developer, he has also built many sites using WooCommerce and Jigoshop. I asked him when he might opt for Magento over a WordPress-based e-commerce solution and he replied:</p>\n<blockquote><p> I tend to use Magento for larger sites, where there are thousands of products and likely to be a lot of activity. This is because of the back-end system of Magento; it offers so much more in terms of tax rules, discounts, product set-up, import/export, order history, invoicing, etc. it&#8217;s just a full, heavy-duty, ecommerce system. The WordPress solutions are great, but not for bigger ecommerce store owners who need more control.</p></blockquote>\n<p>The Magento WordPress Integration plugin provides a much needed bridge between the two open source projects and enables them to work together seamlessly. It can also save you from having to do too much theming to Magento, which is quite a pain because all the files are located about 10 directories deep. MWI allows you to feature your categories and products on your WordPress pages, as well as any blocks created within Magento. If you want to synchronize your sites even further, Kemp has also developed a plugin providing <a href=\"http://codecanyon.net/item/single-signon-for-magento-and-wordpress/861453\" target=\"_blank\">Single Sign-On For Magento And WordPress</a>.</p>\n<p>Kemp and his colleague Jay Pick have formed a new WordPress development company called <a href=\"http://madebyplatform.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Platførm</a>, based out of their rural office in Lutterworth, England. He plans to continue supporting the MWI plugin for as long as it&#8217;s needed. You can find documentation at the <a href=\"http://www.mwi-plugin.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Magento WordPress Integration homepage</a> and can <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/magento-wordpress-integration/\" target=\"_blank\">download the plugin</a> from the WordPress repository.

One of his spam comments contained the entire template of text used to generate random comments. How many combinations of spam can you make with the following template?</p>\n<blockquote><p>I {want to|wish to|desire to} read {more|even more} things about it!|<br />\n{It is|It’s} {appropriate|perfect|the best} time to make {a few|some} plans<br />\nfor {the future|the longer term|the long run} and {it is|it’s} time to be happy.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Check out the long list of different replies on his post. I think this calls for a new holiday. Talk like a spammer day! We humans have to guess which combination is the correct one! But giving this some more thought, if there was a talk like a spammer day and we were legitimately using templates like the ones presented in the post to generate our comments and those comments were published even though Akismet thinks they are spam, how big of an impact would we have on screwing up the Akismet spam algorithm? Maybe this holiday is not such a good idea!</p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/7J40V67FxqE\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 22 Oct 2013 13:00:44 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Jeffro\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:2;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:56:\"Donncha: The shiny new dynamic content in WP Super Cache\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:29:\"http://ocaoimh.ie/?p=89498568\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:70:\"http://ocaoimh.ie/2013/10/21/shiny-new-dynamic-content-wp-super-cache/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:9361:\"<p>With the next release of WP Super Cache in a day or two <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/2013/05/01/mfunc-in-wp-super-cache-1-4-and-beyond/\">the long awaited</a> move away from mfunc, mclude and friends will be complete.</p>\n<p>This means that if you have been using mfunc, mclude or dynamic-cached-content the dynamic portions of your sites will go blank if you upgrade WP Super Cache without updating that dynamic code. This may seem complicated but there&#8217;s an example script included and detailed explanations below. A lot of effort was made to make this backwards compatible but unfortunately it wasn&#8217;t possible.</p>\n<p>In their place is a new cacheaction filter called wpsc_cachedata and it&#8217;s sidekick wpsc_cachedata_safety. In the future when a site owner using WP Super Cache wants to make part of their website dynamic they will use those filters to modify pre-defined text strings and replace them with the data they want displayed to the end user. There&#8217;s an <a href=\"http://svn.wp-plugins.org/wp-super-cache/trunk/plugins/dynamic-cache-test.php\">example script</a> ready to be ripped apart to help you figure all this out.</p>\n<p>There are two ways of using this:</p>\n<ol>\n<li> The dynamic content is the return value of a simple process, be it <code>date()</code> or any of the numerous get_*() functions in WordPress. That data can simply be slotted in place of the pre-defined text mentioned above.</li>\n<li> The more difficult bit comes when you need to use an output buffer to collect the data for display. Due to a limitation in PHP it&#8217;s impossible to run an output buffer in the callback function of another output buffer, which is when the wpsc_cachedata filter runs. We need to collect that data <em>before</em> the callback function executes.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>The first way above is easy. Simply add a text string of random characters to your theme where you want the dynamic content to appear, then hook a function on to the wpsc_cachedata filter to str_replace() it with your dynamic content. These functions in <a href=\"http://svn.wp-plugins.org/wp-super-cache/trunk/plugins/dynamic-cache-test.php\">this script</a> do that:\n<ul>\n<li>dynamic_cache_test_filter()</li>\n<li>dynamic_cache_test_template_tag()</li>\n<li>dynamic_cache_test_init()</li>\n</ul>\n<p>You&#8217;ll have to hook on to the wpsc_cachedata_safety action and return the numeral 1 to actually run the wpsc_cachedata filter. This is a fail safe used by the plugin to make sure things are ok when the filter runs.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately if you want to use an output buffer it&#8217;s a lot harder. As stated above an output buffer can&#8217;t run in the callback function of another output buffer. This means you have to generate your dynamic content earlier in the PHP process.<br />\nThis could be as easy as calling your dynamic content function (dynamic_output_buffer_test() in the example script) from the wp_footer action, or calling it from any action before shutdown, whichever is appropriate. You&#8217;ll also need to add a template tag of your own choosing to your theme.<br />\nYour dynamic content function will run just fine for cached pages, so after the new page has run it store the output in a constant or global variable that the same function can look for when the wpsc_cacheaction runs it. If it finds that information, it can do the search and replace of your template tag without running the output buffer again.<br />\nSome pages won&#8217;t run the dynamic content function however. This includes feeds and sitemaps. Those pages will generate a PHP error because the output buffer will try to run in the callback!</p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;PHP Fatal error:  ob_start(): Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers in&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>\n<p>To stop that happening you must check that there&#8217;s text to shove in the cached page. That&#8217;s what happens in the function dynamic_output_buffer_test_safety() in the example script. It fires on the wpsc_cachedata_safety filter and returns the numeral 1 if successful. </p>\n<h3>Anatomy of an Output Buffer</h3>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to try and explain the output buffer functions in more detail here. They&#8217;re only example functions and if you spot a bug or can suggest improvements please do!</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php; gutter: false; title: ; notranslate\">define( \'DYNAMIC_OUTPUT_BUFFER_TAG\', \'\' ); // CHANGE THIS!</pre>\n<p>This is the string you add to your theme where your dynamic content will appear. The plugin will replace this string with the code generated by your dynamic content function.</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\">function dynamic_output_buffer_test( &amp;$cachedata = 0 ) {\n	if ( defined( \'DYNAMIC_OB_TEXT\' ) )\n		return str_replace( DYNAMIC_OUTPUT_BUFFER_TAG, DYNAMIC_OB_TEXT, $cachedata );\n	ob_start();\n	// call the sidebar function, do something dynamic\n	echo \"&lt;p&gt;This is a test. The current time on the server is: \" . date( \'H:i:s\' ) . \"&lt;/p&gt;\";\n	$text = ob_get_contents();\n	ob_end_clean();\n\n	if ( $cachedata === 0 ) // called directly from the theme so store the output\n		define( \'DYNAMIC_OB_TEXT\', $text );\n	else // called via the wpsc_cachedata filter. We only get here in cached pages in wp-cache-phase1.php\n		return str_replace( DYNAMIC_OUTPUT_BUFFER_TAG, $text, $cachedata );\n\n}\nadd_cacheaction( \'wpsc_cachedata\', \'dynamic_output_buffer_test\' );</pre>\n<ul>\n<li> 1. dynamic_output_buffer_test() is the function that will generate the dynamic content inserted into the cached page.</li>\n<li> 2-3. DYNAMIC_OB_TEXT stores the previous output of this function. If it&#8217;s set that means we&#8217;re in the wpsc_cachedata filter and should insert it into the cached page and return it.</li>\n<li> 4-8. This creates the output buffer, echoes a string with the current time and copies the buffer into a variable called $text before closing the output buffer.</li>\n<li> 10-13. This is how we decide to return data. If $cachedata is 0 that means this function was called from the theme so we should define the constant DYNAMIC_OB_TEXT for later use. Otherwise, we must be dealing with an already cached page so insert the dynamic content into the page and return it.</li>\n<li> 16. Add the dynamic_output_buffer_test() function to the wpsc_cachedata action. &#8220;add_cacheaction&#8221; is used as it loads before the regular WordPress action code loads.</li>\n</ul>\n<pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\">function dynamic_output_buffer_test_safety( $safety ) {\n	if ( defined( \'DYNAMIC_OB_TEXT\' ) )\n		return 1; // ready to replace tag with dynamic content.\n	else\n		return 0; // tag cannot be replaced.\n}\nadd_cacheaction( \'wpsc_cachedata_safety\', \'dynamic_output_buffer_test_safety\' );</pre>\n<ul>\n<li>1-6. dynamic_output_buffer_test_safety() is a function that checks if dynamic content was generated correctly. If that constant is not defined the output buffer will run within the callback function of the main WP Super Cache output buffer and generate a PHP error.</li>\n<li> 7. Add the wpsc_cachedata_safety() function to the dynamic_output_buffer_test_safety action.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>sidebar.php</h3>\n<p>As an example, if I wanted to display my dynamic content in the sidebar of my blog I would load sidebar.php in my theme&#8217;s directory and add the following code. </p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php; title: ; notranslate\">if ( function_exists( \'dynamic_output_buffer_test\' ) )\n    dynamic_output_buffer_test();\n?&gt;WORDPRESS ROCKS THE WORLD&lt;?php</pre>\n<p>I had previously edited the example script, uncommented it and changed the appropriate tag:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php; gutter: false; title: ; notranslate\">define( \'DYNAMIC_OUTPUT_BUFFER_TAG\', \'WORDPRESS ROCKS THE WORLD\' ); // CHANGE THIS!</pre>\n<h3>Final Note and Download Link</h3>\n<p>Please grab the <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/the-development-version-of-wp-super-cache/\">development version</a> of the plugin and try it on a staging server before you put it live. Feedback would be appreciated!</p>\n<p>Warning! Keep the tags you use secret. You don&#8217;t want someone leaving a comment on your blog with that string! Do not use the same function names or constant names as in this post or example script. They&#8217;re in this very public post.

In his post, he talks about WordPress, GPL, and ethics but further into the post, he mentions that perhaps we should not be thinking about what sites like <a href=\"http://wpavengers.com/\" title=\"http://wpavengers.com/\">GPL Avengers</a> or <a href=\"http://gplclub.org/\" title=\"http://gplclub.org/\">GPL Club</a> are doing as right or wrong but rather, good or bad. </p>\n<blockquote><p>When you start talking about premium GPL products, the line between what is right or wrong gets a little blurred. Perhaps the terms “Right” and “Wrong” should not be used in this debate at all. “Good” and “Bad” are more suitable. GPL is supposed to benefit the WordPress community. So we need to consider what is good and what is bad for the community?</p></blockquote>\n<p>Ethics is subjective so let&#8217;s skip that word. It&#8217;s as bad as saying &#8220;spirit&#8221; when talking about the GPL. What GPL Avengers and GPL CLub are doing is not illegal and I don&#8217;t think anyone will argue that point. Let&#8217;s take the good and bad approach.<span id=\"more-10128\"></span></p>\n<h3>The Good:</h3>\n<p> Both are offering commercial products either for free or for a substantially lower price. This is good because those who don&#8217;t need support can make do with the lower price. It&#8217;s also good in that it exposes the commercial offerings to a larger market segment that perhaps otherwise wouldn&#8217;t be able to afford purchasing from the original developer.</p>\n<h3>The Bad:</h3>\n<p> GPL Club points out that support is only provided by the original product authors. Meanwhile, WP Avengers provides automatic updates and premium support via forums and support credits. I am not sure how this works but their forum is not publicly accessible. In general, the best people to provide support for the product are the people who created it. By acquiring products through either of these two sites, unknowing customers will either be out of luck in getting support, or may not get the best support money can buy. </p>\n<p>There are a number of great comments about this situation that I encourage you to read like, <a href=\"http://www.kevinmuldoon.com/wordpress-gpl-ethics/#comment-5255\" title=\"http://www.kevinmuldoon.com/wordpress-gpl-ethics/#comment-5255\">this one from Paul</a>, or <a href=\"http://www.kevinmuldoon.com/wordpress-gpl-ethics/#comment-5251\" title=\"http://www.kevinmuldoon.com/wordpress-gpl-ethics/#comment-5251\">Andrew</a>. What is boils down to is these two sites have started a race to the bottom but I think that race has been going on for a long time. </p>\n<p>One of the scenarios that Kevin laid out was the following:</p>\n<blockquote><p>With regards to where the buck stops :) WP Avengers and GPL Club are charging money for premium plugins that other people developed. Here’s a thought….what if someone went one step further and released all premium plugins free. For example, a plugin and theme directory that allowed every single premium WordPress theme and plugin to be downloaded free of charge. No malware, no hidden agenda. Simply someone who wanted to share all premium plugins with the world.</p>\n<p>How do you think the WordPress community would react to this? Would it kill the market for premium WordPress products or would developers have to focus on support? &#8211; <a href=\"http://www.kevinmuldoon.com/wordpress-gpl-ethics/#comment-5254\" title=\"http://www.kevinmuldoon.com/wordpress-gpl-ethics/#comment-5254\">Kevin Muldoon</a></p></blockquote>\n<p>I think it would be fantastic. On paper, it seems pretty stupid to pay for GPL code. We hear the phrase &#8220;<em>paying for support and product updates</em>&#8221; repeatedly but it still seems as though we&#8217;re paying for the code first. So let&#8217;s make all code free. If we pay money, we&#8217;re actually paying for upgrades and support of that free code. But I know exactly what this would do to commercial themes and plugins. We&#8217;d end up with free code that only has one purpose. To serve up a prompt asking for an API key. In a way, I&#8217;d be ok with this because it would be less code running on my site but on the flip side, I&#8217;d then be relying on an increasing number of third-party sites to be online to make sure my forms worked. If all commercial themes and plugins were free, it wouldn&#8217;t be the end of the world. We would just rapidly make the transition to purchasing support and upgrades or service add-ons. Also, if commercial themes and plugins were free, sites like GPL Club and WP Avengers suddenly become the losers as they would then be charging for GPL code without the support to back it. </p>\n<h3>A Few Questions For My Commercial WordPress Developer Friends</h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s fascinating to think about all GPL licensed code in themes and plugins being free as in beer. How would this change the way vendors today do business? If the real value is in support and upgrades, then the question I have for commercial plugin and theme developers is why are they charging for their GPL licensed code? The GPL license says you can do it, but what&#8217;s the point? I&#8217;ll guess and say that it would then be too confusing for customers to figure this all out so it&#8217;s easier to bundle everything in one purchase. At the end of the day, WP Avengers, GPL Club and sites like them are not going to put the original vendors out of business. All they are is an inconvenience. </p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/zYcZG5ycFZE\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 21 Oct 2013 19:00:52 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Jeffro\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:5;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:65:\"WPTavern: WordPress 3.7 Automatic Upgrades Proving to Be Reliable\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:32:\"http://www.wptavern.com/?p=10151\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:117:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~3/4c1b_4P7CE8/wordpress-3-7-automatic-upgrades-proving-to-be-reliable\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2957:\"<p>The first <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/news/2013/10/wordpress-3-7-release-candidate/\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress 3.7 Release Candidate</a> was sent out into the wild last Friday. So far it&#8217;s been testing very well. The flagship feature of this release is the ability for WordPress to automatically update itself, as highlighted in the customary haiku:</p>\n<blockquote><p>\nWordPress three seven<br />\nA self-updating engine<br />\nLies beneath the hood\n</p></blockquote>\n<p>Automatic background updates seems like a daunting feature to launch across millions of blogs, but WordPress 3.7 includes code to roll back a failed automatic upgrade. Even so, Nacin <a href=\"https://twitter.com/nacin/status/392132430129139713\" target=\"_blank\">tweeted</a> yesterday that after 25,000 updates to RC1, there hasn&#8217;t been one single rollback. So far it looks like the automatic background updates for security and minor releases is proving to be remarkably reliable. <span id=\"more-10151\"></span></p>\n<p>Nacin has done everything in his power to determine points of failure within the feature but so far it&#8217;s been holding up nicely:</p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" width=\"550\"><p>We’ve tried all sorts of things to trip up the updater in WP 3.7, like changing file perms, simulating network issues, having no disk space.</p>\n<p>&mdash; Andrew Nacin (@nacin) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/nacin/statuses/391303056047865856\">October 18, 2013</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" width=\"550\"><p>Short of unplugging the server halfway through, I’m not actually sure it’s possible for a background update in WP 3.7 to critically fail.</p>\n<p>&mdash; Andrew Nacin (@nacin) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/nacin/statuses/391265227058061312\">October 18, 2013</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>Currently two emails are being sent out when the automatic upgrades are successful: one for debugging and the other standard email that all users of 3.7 will receive. Once 3.7 is officially released you will no longer get the debugging email. However, there is a <a href=\"https://twitter.com/nacin/status/391620342172504064\" target=\"_blank\">filter</a> that you can use to keep it turned on if you like.</p>\n<p>Jeff recently <a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/how-will-you-configure-auto-updates-in-wordpress-3-7\" target=\"_blank\">polled Tavern readers</a> to see how they will be implementing the automatic updates on their sites, as many readers previously had expressed reservations. At this time it seems that only 1 in 4 people polled will be disabling automatic updates completely, while the remaining 75% are open to using them to varying degrees. The results of Nacin&#8217;s testing of RC1 should inspire even more confidence. If all goes well, it looks like we should have the official WordPress 3.7 release sometime this week.</p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/4c1b_4P7CE8\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 21 Oct 2013 17:56:38 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:6;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:97:\"WordPress.tv: Justin Jones: WordPress Security or Why Google Says You Shouldn’t Visit My Church\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wordpress.tv/?p=23080\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:111:\"http://wordpress.tv/2013/10/21/justin-jones-wordpress-security-or-why-google-says-you-shouldnt-visit-my-church/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:747:\"<div id=\"v-yIqcqtwl-1\" class=\"video-player\">\n</div>\n<br />  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/wptv.wordpress.com/23080/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/wptv.wordpress.com/23080/\" /></a> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wordpress.tv&blog=5089392&post=23080&subd=wptv&ref=&feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" /><div><a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2013/10/21/justin-jones-wordpress-security-or-why-google-says-you-shouldnt-visit-my-church/\"><img alt=\"Justin Jones: WordPress Security or Why Google Says You Shouldn’t Visit My Church\" src=\"http://videos.videopress.com/yIqcqtwl/video-c9445da87e_scruberthumbnail_1.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" /></a></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 21 Oct 2013 17:19:25 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"WordPress.tv\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:7;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:61:\"WPTavern: New Grid View Coming to the WordPress Media Library\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"http://www.wptavern.com/?p=9218\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:113:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~3/qM4VP9q4HBo/new-grid-view-coming-to-the-wordpress-media-library\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3915:\"<p>Your experience in the WordPress media library is about to get a whole lot better.

The search is also very responsive and returns results instantly as you type, even if you only enter one letter. </p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve seen a lot of changes lately when it comes to WordPress user interface design. These rapid changes have been set in motion to arrange information in a way that is easier to use and understand.</p>\n<p>Scientific <a href=\"http://www.pnas.org/content/95/5/2703.full\" target=\"_blank\">studies of neural memory encoding</a> have shown that the human brain remembers pictures better than words. If you&#8217;re searching for an image you recently uploaded, browsing through thumbnails is likely to be much more helpful than trying to use words to search for your image. An optional grid view makes a lot of sense for this interface and I&#8217;m hoping it will become the default view. </p>\n<h3>When Will We See the Media Grid in the WordPress Core?</h3>\n<p>Of course, the burning question everyone wants to know, is when can we see this added to the WordPress core? The Media Library Grid View project is led by <a href=\"https://twitter.com/helenhousandi\" target=\"_blank\">Helen Hou-Sandi</a>. The plugin is part of the &#8220;Features as Plugins&#8221; initiative that enables developers to propose new features to core in the form of a plugin. Last time I checked with Shaun he said that they would love to have it ready for 3.8 or 3.9 but really it comes down to whenever it&#8217;s ready. </p>\n<p>This plugin is the future of the WordPress media library. I&#8217;m convinced that once you try the grid view you won&#8217;t ever want to go back to the boring list style. Although the Media Grid plugin is still being actively developed, it&#8217;s working quite nicely already. Shaun Andrews welcomes your suggestions and patches. If you&#8217;d like to help test it you can <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/media-grid/\" target=\"_blank\">download</a> Media Grid from the WordPress plugin repository.</p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/qM4VP9q4HBo\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 21 Oct 2013 17:00:28 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:8;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:37:\"Joseph: Books: The Year Without Pants\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"https://josephscott.org/?p=9213\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:70:\"https://josephscott.org/archives/2013/10/books-the-year-without-pants/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:10188:\"<p>I finished reading Scott Berkun&#8217;s book <a href=\"http://scottberkun.com/yearwithoutpants/\">The Year Without Pants</a>.  The book tells the tale of Scott&#8217;s time at <a href=\"http://automattic.com/\">Automattic</a> as the lead of Team Social, which worked on <a href=\"http://wordpress.com/\">WordPress.com</a>.  I&#8217;ve never read a book about a place that I&#8217;ve worked at, so I was curious to see things from his point of view.</p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve worked at Automattic for over six years, well before Scott started there.  We were always on separate teams and I never worked directly with Scott on any projects.  As a result some of the things Scott talks about in the book take on a different angle than my own.  While reading through the book I made notes on things that I wanted to expand on a bit, provide a different point of reference for, or just struck me as interesting.  I&#8217;m including the page number for easy reference.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 10</strong>, talking about how for many people Automattic was the largest company they had ever worked for.  I definitely didn&#8217;t fall into that camp.  Oddly enough I&#8217;ve alternated between large and small companies, though not on purpose.  Before Automattic I worked at a university that had thousands of employees.  Before that I was at small regional ISP that never had more than 10 full time employees.  Going back one more job I was at a large international company with more than 10,000 people across the planet.  And the job before that was at a company with 20 people.  That pretty much covers all of the jobs I&#8217;ve had as an adult.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 15</strong>, about IRC being an ancient chat program.  When I mention to other people that we use IRC I&#8217;ll often describe it as being &#8220;as old as dirt&#8221;, meaning <a href=\"http://www.irc.org/history_docs/jarkko.html\">1988</a>.  Being old doesn&#8217;t change the fact that it is still one of the best solutions to the problem of text based chat.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 16</strong>, about Automattic demanding great communication skills.  In some ways we have to overcommunicate in order to make up for not all being in the same building.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 20</strong>, Caturday.  Long running thing at Automattic from the world of LOLcats.  On page 25 Scott shows a screenshot of some stats, and the week ends with Caturday.  Some time ago a new hire at Automattic &#8220;fixed&#8221; the typo by changing it to Saturday.  We had to explain the joke, then had them revert it back to Caturday :-)</p>\n<p><strong>Page 25</strong>, experts don&#8217;t go back to regular jobs because regular jobs are hard.  This is worth keeping in mind the next time you read an article or book from a professional expert.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 28</strong>, on jamming practices from one culture into another.  This is a hard lesson to learn and I think most who have learned it have only done so through experience.  Culture isn&#8217;t something you can easily transplant.  Culture, like trust, is hard to build and easy to destroy.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 29</strong>, about trust.  Trust is a really big deal in any company culture.  The lack of it usually results in grinding political structures.  High degrees of trust can result in the whole being so much more than the sum of the parts.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 42</strong>, remember how I mentioned that I described IRC being as old as dirt?  I&#8217;m not the only one who thinks that way :-)</p>\n<p><strong>Page 43</strong>, about many things at Automattic being inherited from the open source WordPress project.  I don&#8217;t think it is an overstatement to say that this is one of the core attributes in the formation of Automattic.  In many ways it looks like a group of people working on an open source project that just happens to also involve money, sometimes.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 46</strong>, about the WordPress theme P2. One day I&#8217;ll write a separate post about how P2 came to be.  Naming things can be hard, and sometimes beyond your control.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 48</strong>, on the communication break down between P2, IRC, Skype, and email.  The ratio varies between teams.  For my experience I&#8217;d say P2 and IRC are closer to 50 / 50, Skype and email nearly rounding errors.  IRC was good for talking about something right now ( synchronous ) and P2 was good for things that weren&#8217;t nearly so time sensitive ( asynchronous ) or needed a better way to be tracked.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 54</strong>, about the size of a company being the ultimate goal.  I&#8217;ve had conversations with people about companies that stay intentionally small.  In the technology field it isn&#8217;t often that you come across people who want to have a limit to how big their company gets.  I think there is an idea worth exploring in there.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 61</strong>, regarding killing a project or experiment.  It isn&#8217;t easy to shutdown something that you&#8217;ve put energy into.  That said, we could be better about letting go.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 104</strong>, data-influenced culture versus a data-driven one.  I&#8217;ll give an example of one experience I had that shows how this worked.  A new A / B test was launched around a signup flow and I was fairly certain that the new version was going to do worse because the resulting experience was so bad for the user.  It quickly became clear that the new version resulted in more revenue.  As a team we talked it over and decided against using the new version, even though it meant giving up some of that increase in revenue.  I was happy we were able to agree on that because the user experience in the new version was one I&#8217;d never want to use.  The results of the A / B test were one part of our decision making process, but it wasn&#8217;t the only consideration.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 111</strong>, vision.  Someone having a clear vision of where things are going as a whole is a different dynamic in a company that focuses on individuals being super proactive about coming up with their own ideas on what to work on next.  Not that you can&#8217;t have it, just that at some point you realize everyone can&#8217;t do everything.  See also page 126 regarding clarity vs. quantity of ideas.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 132</strong>, &#8220;Without the time machine, all choices have the possibility of being wrong.&#8221;  I need to put that on a t-shirt.  Sometimes the value of making a decision outweighs any of the potential outcomes of the decision itself.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 134</strong>, on not being tied down too much by a pre-selected process.  I&#8217;ve been asked before if Automattic uses [ insert current trendy methodology here ].  My answer has always been no.  We work out what works best for us as a team, then start moving forward, adjusting along the way as needed.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 136</strong>, &#8220;To start big projects, you must have the capacity for delusion.&#8221;  Probably also worth a t-shirt.  At some point after going through enough big projects you learn that you always underestimate them at the beginning.  Then after even more of them you learn that under estimating them is sometimes a good thing, because if you didn&#8217;t you would never actually start them.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 152</strong>, about work environments.  When I talk with people about Automattic being a distributed company, I usually end up explaining that like most things it is about trade offs.  Distributed vs. non-distributed is often less about which one is better and more about which trade offs you want to work with.  The same is true of individuals.  Not everyone is going to excel in a distributed situation, and that is fine, it doesn&#8217;t make them bad at what they do or who they are.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 171</strong>, talking about Team Social being stretched even further.  When Scott joined Automattic I started working on the Akismet team.  Our team was always stretched, with people in Melbourne ( Australia ), California, Utah, North Carolina, and England.  From UTC that is +11, -7, -6, -4, and +1 for everyone playing along at home.  Not the same broad and even distribution that Team Social ended up with, but not always easy either.  But we made it work.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 198</strong>, a reference to the bike shed problem.  Long time FreeBSD users will remember <a href=\"http://bikeshed.com/\">the bike shed post by PHK</a>.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 200</strong>, on few people being willing to dive in and make changes.  That is pretty much the opposite of my experience.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 200</strong>, about broken windows for good and bad.  I think our ability to fix a bug that came up quickly is a good thing.  There obviously has to be some balance with other things, but I would never want to lose our ability to go from getting a ping from a friend about something on our service being broken, to being able to reply that it has now been fixed, often in a matter of minutes.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 201</strong>, some people being afraid to post on a P2 because they think it is a megaphone and everyone is reading it.  What is funny about reading that is that before we had P2, there was just one internal blog for all of Automattic and it was rarely used.  It was common for it to only get one post per month.  P2 changed that dramatically.</p>\n<p><strong>Page 225</strong>, &#8220;No one should be expected to carry the burden of a secret their peers would love to know.&#8221;  Not worth putting on a t-shirt, but something that every leader should remember.</p>\n<hr />\n<p>I could comment on every page in the book, but these were the points that I noted specifically as I read through it.</p>\n<p>The book itself is an enjoyable read, and easy to get through.  If you&#8217;ve ever wondered what things are like at Automattic, The Year Without Pants, is a pretty good window.  Just keep in mind that it is from one point of view and that each team has a high degree of flexibility in doing things in a way that works best for them.</p>\n<p>If you would rather live it than read about it, <a href=\"http://automattic.com/work-with-us/\">Automattic is hiring</a>.</p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 21 Oct 2013 15:05:31 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"Joseph Scott\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:9;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:61:\"WPTavern: After Four Years – WPShout Is Under New Ownership\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:32:\"http://www.wptavern.com/?p=10124\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:109:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~3/sUm_0G9JveY/after-four-years-wpshout-is-under-new-ownership\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2615:\"<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/wpshoutlogo.jpg\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/wpshoutlogo.jpg?resize=300%2C46\" alt=\"wpshout logo\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-10125\" /></a>Long time WordPress community member Alex Denning <a href=\"http://wpshout.com/ending-better-beginning/\" title=\"http://wpshout.com/ending-better-beginning/\">has announced</a> that his WordPress centric site <a href=\"http://www.wpshout.com\" title=\"http://www.wpshout.com\">WPShout</a> is now under new ownership. Alex has reached the point where his job combined with his university study work has made it impossible for him to keep the site going. Thankfully, Alex has found a great home for the site. New owners Fred and David of <a href=\"http://pressupinc.com/\" title=\"http://pressupinc.com/\">Press Up</a> will be taking over the site. According to their introductions within the announcement post, they seem to fit in naturally with providing the type of content WPShout readers have come to expect. <span id=\"more-10124\"></span></p>\n<blockquote><p>We’re really excited to be taking over WPShout, and glad that we were able to talk Alex into sticking around in an advising role for the transitional period. He’s built a great resource here, and we’re eager to keep his vision alive and make it even better.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Kudos to Alex for finding the right individuals to take over the site. I know from experience that giving up something that was built from the ground up is not an easy task but handing it over to the right individuals makes the process a lot easier to cope with.

Also, I&#8217;ll have Alex, Fred, and David on this week&#8217;s episode of WordPress Weekly to discuss the transition of the WPShout website.

According to Shaun, the plugin is really just a bit of CSS and JS, so it would be an easy addition to MP6.</p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a quick demo of the Widgets Area Chooser in action:</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10105\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/widgets.gif\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/widgets.gif?resize=560%2C457\" alt=\"(note: The experience is actually not as jumpy as it appears in the screencast)\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10105\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">(note: The experience is actually not as jumpy as it appears in the screencast)</p></div>\n<p>After testing this plugin on my desktop as well as mobile devices, I believe there are several merits which should be considered in the discussion about whether or not this should be a part of MP6 and eventually WordPress 3.8:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Makes it easier to add new widgets &#8211; clicking is easier than drag-and-drop</li>\n<li>Reduces frustration when working with a large number of widget areas</li>\n<li>Makes it easier to manage widgets on a mobile device</li>\n</ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to recognize that this doesn&#8217;t actually remove drag-and-drop capabilities. The Widgets Area Chooser simply adds a new way to move widgets around, and users will still have the option of dragging and dropping if they prefer. Please note that you will need to have <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/mp6/\" target=\"_blank\">MP6</a> installed and activated in order to test this plugin. </p>\n<p>So what do you think? Should the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-area-chooser/\" target=\"_blank\">Widgets Area Chooser</a> be included in MP6?</p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/mvgunDECZL0\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Mon, 21 Oct 2013 13:01:04 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:11;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:44:\"WordPress.tv: Paul Kortman: Stop Selling SEO\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wordpress.tv/?p=23072\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:61:\"http://wordpress.tv/2013/10/20/paul-kortman-stop-selling-seo/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:638:\"<div id=\"v-Oc6EhwH0-1\" class=\"video-player\">\n</div>\n<br />  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/wptv.wordpress.com/23072/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/wptv.wordpress.com/23072/\" /></a> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wordpress.tv&blog=5089392&post=23072&subd=wptv&ref=&feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" /><div><a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2013/10/20/paul-kortman-stop-selling-seo/\"><img alt=\"Paul Kortman: Stop Selling SEO\" src=\"http://videos.videopress.com/Oc6EhwH0/video-0ca99ba0ff_std.original.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" /></a></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Sun, 20 Oct 2013 14:17:23 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"WordPress.tv\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:12;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"WordPress.tv: K.

While we originally scheduled Alex Denning for this episode, we needed to reschedule him for October 25th. So in this episode, we each took turns discussing this weeks headlines.

(Please, not on a production site, unless you’re adventurous.)</p>\n<p>WordPress 3.7 introduces <strong>automatic background updates</strong> for security and minor releases (like updating from 3.7 to 3.7.1). These are really easy to test  — RC 1 will update every 12 hours or so to the latest development version, and then email you the results. (You may get two emails: one for debugging, and one all users of 3.7 will receive.) If something went wrong, you can report it.</p>\n<p><strong>Think you’ve found a bug? </strong>Please post to the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/support/forum/alphabeta/\">Alpha/Beta area in the support forums</a>. If any known issues come up, you’ll be able to <a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/report/5\">find them here</a>.</p>\n<p>To test WordPress 3.7 RC1, try the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/\">WordPress Beta Tester</a> plugin (you’ll want “bleeding edge nightlies”). Or you can <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/wordpress-3.7-RC1.zip\">download the release candidate here</a> (zip). If you’d like to learn more about what&#8217;s new in WordPress 3.7, visit the awesome About screen in your dashboard (<strong><img alt=\"\" src=\"http://core.svn.wordpress.org/branches/3.6/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/wordpress.png\" /> → About</strong> in the toolbar). There, you can also see if your install is eligible for background updates. WordPress won’t automatically update, for example, if you’re using version control like Subversion or Git.</p>\n<p><strong>Developers,</strong> please test your plugins and themes against WordPress 3.7, so that if there is a compatibility issue, we can figure it out before the final release. Make sure you post any issues to the support forums.</p>\n<p><em>WordPress three seven</em><br />\n<em>A self-updating engine</em><br />\n<em>Lies beneath the hood</em></p>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 18 Oct 2013 19:52:14 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"Andrew Nacin\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:19;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:57:\"WordPress.tv: Chad Warner: WordPress Admin: A Guided Tour\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wordpress.tv/?p=23082\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:73:\"http://wordpress.tv/2013/10/18/chad-warner-wordpress-admin-a-guided-tour/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:663:\"<div id=\"v-lrHdq3sq-1\" class=\"video-player\">\n</div>\n<br />  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/wptv.wordpress.com/23082/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/wptv.wordpress.com/23082/\" /></a> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wordpress.tv&blog=5089392&post=23082&subd=wptv&ref=&feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" /><div><a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2013/10/18/chad-warner-wordpress-admin-a-guided-tour/\"><img alt=\"Chad Warner: WordPress Admin: A Guided Tour\" src=\"http://videos.videopress.com/lrHdq3sq/video-98021c129a_std.original.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" /></a></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 18 Oct 2013 16:35:05 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"WordPress.tv\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:20;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:78:\"WPTavern: WordPress MP6 Plugin Adds New Widgets Page and Midnight Color Scheme\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:32:\"http://www.wptavern.com/?p=10040\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:130:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~3/34x8ppLkyUY/wordpress-mp6-plugin-adds-new-widgets-page-and-midnight-color-scheme\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3425:\"<p>Although <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/mp6/\" target=\"_blank\">MP6</a> may sound like the code name of a covert spy mission, it&#8217;s actually one of the most exciting WordPress plugins in the repository right now. MP6 is part of the &#8220;features as plugins&#8221; initiative and houses the intended design updates to the WordPress admin. The plan is to include the changes in the core with the  upcoming WordPress 3.8 release. </p>\n<p>Many WordPress sites are already using MP6 to transform their dashboards and there are <a href=\"http://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/log/mp6/?rev=786548&stop_rev=764842\" target=\"_blank\">several dozen reasons</a> to upgrade to the latest version. Here are just a few of the highlights:<span id=\"more-10040\"></span></p>\n<ul>\n<li>A bunch of new dashicons</li>\n<li>A re-designed widgets page by <a href=\"https://twitter.com/shaunandrews\" target=\"_blank\">Shaun Andrews</a> from his Widgets project</li>\n<li>Improvements to customizer, color schemes, menus section and much more</li>\n<li>New Midnight color scheme</li>\n</ul>\n<p>You may have seen a <a href=\"http://polldaddy.com/poll/7437854/\" target=\"_blank\">poll</a> floating around about extra color schemes for MP6. The Midnight color scheme must have proven the most popular, as it has now been included in the latest MP6 update. This bold skin for the dashboard sports red highlights:</p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10043\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/midnight-color-scheme.png\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/midnight-color-scheme.png?resize=560%2C305\" alt=\"MP6 Midnight Color Scheme\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10043\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">MP6 Midnight Color Scheme</p></div>\n<p>The new widgets page design is much cleaner, allows you to see more widgets at once and is easier to navigate if you&#8217;re using a theme with many different widgetized areas. </p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10047\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/widgets.jpg\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/widgets.jpg?resize=560%2C349\" alt=\"New widgets page design\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10047\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">New widgets page design</p></div>\n<p>In order to achieve this cleaner look, the widgets page had to sacrifice the widget descriptions, which seems to be a main point of concern for those who have already upgraded MP6. Plugin authors can be rather generic in how they name their widgets, so descriptions are helpful for knowing which widget you&#8217;re looking at. The scrollbar within the widgets section is also a point of contention. Overall, the MP6 2.1 updates have been very well received and there&#8217;s still plenty of time to work through any challenges.</p>\n<p>Your feedback is important! If you want to be a part of testing or you&#8217;re just curious about where the WordPress admin is going, <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/plugins/mp6/\" target=\"_blank\">install MP6</a> and put it through the paces of your daily routine. If you&#8217;re already using MP6, you can take advantage of all the new features and bug fixes by upgrading the plugin through your dashboard.</p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/34x8ppLkyUY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 18 Oct 2013 13:21:04 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:21;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:64:\"WordPress.tv: Ross Johnson: The Overlap Of Emotion And Usability\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wordpress.tv/?p=23074\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:83:\"http://wordpress.tv/2013/10/18/ross-johnson-the-overlap-of-emotion-and-usability-2/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:686:\"<div id=\"v-K4qaPBBC-1\" class=\"video-player\">\n</div>\n<br />  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/wptv.wordpress.com/23074/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/wptv.wordpress.com/23074/\" /></a> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wordpress.tv&blog=5089392&post=23074&subd=wptv&ref=&feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" /><div><a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2013/10/18/ross-johnson-the-overlap-of-emotion-and-usability-2/\"><img alt=\"Ross Johnson: The Overlap Of Emotion And Usability\" src=\"http://videos.videopress.com/K4qaPBBC/video-c523678150_scruberthumbnail_0.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" /></a></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 18 Oct 2013 12:32:09 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"WordPress.tv\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:22;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:70:\"WPTavern: Mark Jaquith on WordPress 3.6 Postmortem and Post Formats UI\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:32:\"http://www.wptavern.com/?p=10034\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:122:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~3/TrujuHuq6co/mark-jaquith-on-wordpress-3-6-postmortem-and-post-formats-ui\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3783:\"<p>One of the most anticipated features of WordPress 3.6 was the new <a href=\"http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-the-post-formats-ui-feature/\" title=\"http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/01/07/wordpress-3-6-the-post-formats-ui-feature/\">Post Formats UI</a> which would have exposed the feature to users who may not have known of its existence. Unfortunately, near the tail end of development for 3.6, Mark Jaquith <a href=\"http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/05/29/post-formats-ui-is-exiting-core-will-live-as-a-plugin/\" title=\"http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/05/29/post-formats-ui-is-exiting-core-will-live-as-a-plugin/\">made the announcement</a> that the feature would be exiting core and that the work involved would most likely end up as a plugin. This generated a lot of mixed reviews from developers. In the midst of all the discussion, <a href=\"http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/05/29/post-formats-ui-is-exiting-core-will-live-as-a-plugin/#comment-8863\" title=\"http://make.wordpress.org/core/2013/05/29/post-formats-ui-is-exiting-core-will-live-as-a-plugin/#comment-8863\">Mark Jaquith stated</a> that he would publish a postmortem to explain the lessons learned. <span id=\"more-10034\"></span></p>\n<p>WordPress 3.7 is around the corner and we have yet to see the postmortem post, or a post formats UI plugin for that matter. I managed to get in touch with Mark Jaquith, who is an incredibly busy man, to find out what the status was on the post as well as the plugin. Mark tells me that he is working on the blog post that will explain the WordPress 3.6 development cycle, the lessons learned, and the struggles the team had during this time. The post will also cover the new approach to feature development that WordPress is now embracing with features being developed as plugins first. For those that will be attending <a href=\"http://central.wordcamp.org/wordcamps/wordcamp-london/\" title=\"http://central.wordcamp.org/wordcamps/wordcamp-london/\">WordCamp London</a> on November 23 and 24th, Mark will be giving a presentation that shares the lessons learned in 3.6. </p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/PostFormatsUI.jpg\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/PostFormatsUI.jpg?resize=500%2C133\" alt=\"Post Formats UI\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6994\" /></a></p>\n<p>The reason for the delay in getting this information out to the public is that Mark is not an employee that gets to work on WordPress full-time. He was the lead developer for 3.6 and while trying to ensure the project stayed on time, he also had to make a living through his consultancy business. Some of his projects were even pushed back to make room for 3.6 development. To put it mildly, the 3.6 development process took a lot out of the man and he&#8217;s been playing catch up ever since. </p>\n<p>Mark concluded the email with his main takeaway of the post formats UI.</p>\n<blockquote><p>With regards to post formats UI, the main takeaway I had was that the approach we took was the wrong approach and I didn&#8217;t really see that until very late in the process. So if or when the post formats UI feature gets taken back up in plugin form (in 3.9 or later), it will be a fresh effort, not one based on the work we did in 3.6. I am also watching the content creation experience efforts to see how that might play in.</p></blockquote>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be keeping an eye out for the post and will link to it once it&#8217;s published. Thanks to Mark Jaquith for not only providing me with this update, but for all the hard work he did to lead the team to get 3.6 out the door. </p>\n<img

<a href=\"http://make.wordpress.org/ui/2013/10/11/dash-update-4/\" title=\"http://make.wordpress.org/ui/2013/10/11/dash-update-4/\">dashboard redesign</a> is officially added to WordPress core, it looks like it will be missing a widget that&#8217;s been with the software since 2005 when the Dashboard feature was introduced with <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/news/2005/02/strayhorn/\" title=\"http://wordpress.org/news/2005/02/strayhorn/\">WordPress 1.5 &#8220;Strayhorn&#8221;</a>. In its early days, the incoming links widget used Technorati but due to the service not being able to handle the traffic from WordPress installs, the site was down more than it was up. This prompted the switch from Technorati to Google Blogsearch in a later version of WordPress. <span id=\"more-10020\"></span></p>\n<p>I personally found the Technorati version of the widget much more useful than the Google Blogsearch version. The widget updated on its own and for the most part, the URLs were legitimate sites linking to articles of mine. I remember visiting most of those websites to not only thank them in the comments for the link, but also read what they had to say regarding my blog posts. However, shortly after switching from Technorati to Google Blogsearch, I discovered that my own blog posts were being shown within the widget, cancelling out any links generated from outside sources. While doing some research for this post, I discovered a <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/support/topic/incoming-links-is-buggy\" title=\"http://wordpress.org/support/topic/incoming-links-is-buggy\">WordPress.org support thread</a> created by yours truly, detailing this specific issue.</p>\n<h3>Remove The Widget, Or Fix It?</h3>\n<p>Undoubtedly, some people will be upset to see incoming links disappear. In a <a href=\"https://twitter.com/jeffr0/status/390531986634207232\" title=\"https://twitter.com/jeffr0/status/390531986634207232\">conversation I had on Twitter today</a>, I brought up the idea that pingbacks and trackbacks solve the purpose of incoming links. However, those techniques have been abused by spammers for so long, most sites have them turned off. <a href=\"http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/plugins/simple-trackback-validation/\" title=\"http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/plugins/simple-trackback-validation/\">Simple Trackback Validation</a> suggested by Otto is a plugin that&#8217;s made those technologies useful again. I won&#8217;t dive into the specifics but it&#8217;s worked for me. </p>\n<p>The incoming links widget has been allowed to sit inside the WordPress dashboard broken, for too many years. For example, here is what the widget shows me in WordPress 3.6.1. </p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10024\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IncomingLinksInWP361.jpg\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IncomingLinksInWP361.jpg?resize=500%2C252\" alt=\"Incoming Links In WordPress 3.6.1\" class=\"size-large wp-image-10024\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Incoming Links As They Appear In WordPress 3.6.1</p></div>\n<p>How is it useful for me as a site administrator to see the last 10 incoming links are actually the 10 most recent posts published on the site? It&#8217;s not. That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m glad to see a useless widget that no one has time to properly fix be removed from core. If the widget were to be reworked into something useful, my suggestion would be to show the most recent 5-10 referral links. Those types of links are such a pain to find within analytic software, especially recent ones. Something that quickly showed just that information to me would be considered helpful and worthy of taking up a spot on my dashboard.</p>\n<p>What do you think?</p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/Wt8xB-A4x60\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 17 Oct 2013 12:00:13 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Jeffro\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:26;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:45:\"WPTavern: Book Review: The Year Without Pants\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"http://www.wptavern.com/?p=9996\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:96:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~3/Is4z4dknb3M/book-review-the-year-without-pants\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:5794:\"<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tywp.png\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/tywp.png?resize=200%2C300\" alt=\"tywp\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-10004\" /></a>While Facebook is busy building a <a href=\"http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303492504579111792834660448.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_LEFTTopStories\" target=\"_blank\">$120 million dollar compound</a> to offer more convenient employee housing, Automattic has people working remotely all over the world, totally unsupervised and yet insanely productive at the same time.</p>\n<p>In a more <a href=\"http://www.wired.com/business/2013/10/working-from-home/?cid=co12921794\" target=\"_blank\">recent trend</a>, some of the largest tech companies like Yahoo, Best Buy and Hewlett Packard are moving away from allowing employees the freedom to work from home. Office culture was so firmly ingrained in their employees that collaboration and productivity fell sharply when they attempted a distributed workforce. While these tech giants have been unable to surmount the cultural challenges of having employees work from home, <a href=\"http://automattic.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Automattic</a> has never done it any other way. <span id=\"more-9996\"></span></p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/The-Year-Without-Pants-WordPress-com/dp/1118660633\" target=\"_blank\">The Year Without Pants</a></em> is Scott Berkun&#8217;s account of working for Automattic with <a href=\"http://wordpress.com\" title=\"WordPress.com\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress.com</a>.  As a former Microsoft employee, Scott&#8217;s story is that of a leader entering a new work culture with no offices, no rules and no customary enslavement to email. Scott takes you along for the ride as all of his previous notions of procedure go right out the window.</p>\n<h3>&#8220;Trust is Everything&#8221;</h3>\n<p>Much of the buzz surrounding the book has to do with a prevailing belief that no real work can be done without direct supervision and regular soul-sapping meetings. Those who are new to Automattic&#8217;s distributed style of working are wondering how in the world a company can work without email as a primary tool. Berkun explores why Automattic has been so successful as a distributed company:</p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;To anyone who has worked on a large project, this all sounds like madness. How can they work without schedules? How can there be no safeguards? Why wouldn&#8217;t things blow up and collide all the time? A major reason this works at Automattic is belief in a counterintuitive philosophy: <em>safeguards don&#8217;t make you safe; they make you lazy</em>.&#8221;</p></blockquote>\n<p>For Berkun, trust is everything, and much of the book revolves around this concept. At every opportunity Berkun highlights trust as the center point around which all good work is done, as well as the anchor for healthy working relationships. When trust is present in an organization, productivity abounds.</p>\n<blockquote><p>The basic notion is that if people are smart and respect not blowing things up, too many safety measures get in the way. Instead, employees are trusted and empowered to release things fast.</p></blockquote>\n<p><em>The Year Without Pants</em> tells the story of Berkun&#8217;s journey in learning how to build trust with co-workers while working remotely. He also demonstrates how it is possible for a non-programming team leader to build trust with engineers.</p>\n<h3>The Influence of WordPress Culture</h3>\n<p>My favorite parts of the book are where Berkun delves deeper into the culture of WordPress. Its open source values extend beyond the software into the communication that surrounds the work. Berkun found that for the most part, communication within Automattic was public on <a href=\"http://p2theme.com/\" target=\"_blank\">P2</a> blogs, making knowledge freely available to anyone. </p>\n<p>He also found  that the culture of WordPress was influenced both by its open source roots and its co-founder, Matt Mullenweg. As far as open source projects go, the WordPress community is remarkably friendly, open and hospitable. These values are exemplified from the top down and Automattic employees are hand-selected to be a natural fit.  </p>\n<p>Berkun takes quite a bit of time detailing the tools of communication used within the company but reiterates that they were always free to try any tool or method that would help teams work more efficiently.  He found that freedom and trust in the culture encouraged experimentation. </p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Technology does have an impact on behavior, but culture comes first.&#8221;</p></blockquote>\n<p>WordPress.com employees have the freedom to use whatever tools were most efficient for getting things done, regardless of tradition.  This is perhaps one of the most valuable explorations in the book and is especially applicable to any company owner who wants to break out of what they&#8217;ve experienced in modern office culture.</p>\n<p>Berkun has what I like to call &#8220;grandfather glasses&#8221;. He can see the grand picture and knows how to tell a story in a compelling and entertaining way. Ultimately, he arrives at the conclusion that Automattic&#8217;s culture of freedom and trust are restoring meaning to work. This book is not just for WordPress people by any means. <em><a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/The-Year-Without-Pants-WordPress-com/dp/1118660633\" target=\"_blank\">The Year Without Pants</a></em> is for leaders, managers and progressives who are not afraid to break with tradition and experiment with some of the methods that have underscored the success of WordPress.com.  </p>\n<img

Considering the amount of <a href=\"http://www.wptavern.com/should-automatic-upgrades-be-opt-in\" title=\"http://www.wptavern.com/should-automatic-upgrades-be-opt-in\">discussion that took place in September</a> and albeit, some confusion, I’m wondering if some of the opponents of automatic updates are now changing their minds, based on seeing the implementation. </p>\n<div class=\"aligncenter\">Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post\'s poll.</div>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/ipoblKXcrnY\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Tue, 15 Oct 2013 19:03:40 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Jeffro\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:32;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:56:\"WPTavern: BuddyPress 1.9 Will Include Dynamic Menu Links\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"http://www.wptavern.com/?p=9957\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:108:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~3/G4Zp7ck1s5Q/buddypress-1-9-will-include-dynamic-menu-links\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2990:\"<p>For a long time BuddyPress site admins have puzzled over how to create dynamic links within WordPress menus. Although the admin bar provides a comprehensive menu for links related to active components, the process of inserting just one or a few of these links into a regular nav menu is actually quite difficult.</p>\n<p>The most common example is when a site admin wants to add a &#8220;My Profile&#8221; link to the main menu. The link looks something like this in most cases:</p>\n<p><strong>/members/username/profile/</strong><br />\n<span id=\"more-9957\"></span><br />\nHowever, getting the username for the current logged-in user is impossible when working in the dashboard with WordPress menus. In the past you would either have to manually code your menu or use a plugin to create those dynamic user-specific links.</p>\n<p>BuddyPress 1.9 will <a href=\"http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/7427/\" target=\"_blank\">introduce a BuddyPress links box to nav-menus.php</a> to help users easily add dynamic BuddyPress links to their WordPress menus. </p>\n<p>The new menu metabox will include: </p>\n<ul>\n<li>Separate sets of links for logged-in and logged-out users</li>\n<li>Logged-in user links are automatically generated based on the logged-in user. For example, adding a &#8216;Settings&#8217; item from the BuddyPress menu will create a menu item that points to the logged-in user&#8217;s settings page, and will not be shown to logged-out visitors.</li>\n<li>The list of available logged-in links is automatically populated with all components that are registered in the BuddyPress navigation</li>\n<li>Log In and Register links are visible only to logged-out users</li>\n</ul>\n<p>The new menu options can be found at <strong>Dashboard > Appearance > Menus</strong>:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/bp-menus.jpg\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/bp-menus.jpg?resize=560%2C547\" alt=\"bp-menus\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9961\" /></a></p>\n<p>For many BuddyPress users this is like an early Christmas present from Santa. This new addition will make theming BuddyPress much easier for developers and gives more options to site administrators with less technical knowledge. If you&#8217;d like to get a quick preview, install the latest trunk from the <a href=\"http://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/browser\" target=\"_blank\">BuddyPress trac</a>. Please note that this feature is not yet ready to be used in a production environment.  </p>\n<p>You can expect to see the new dynamic menu options in the 1.9 beta release, which should make an appearance this month. BuddyPress lead developers are working towards another speedy release cycle with a target release date set for November 7, 2013. Lots of architectural improvements and some very exciting enhancements are on the way.</p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/G4Zp7ck1s5Q\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"

href=\"https://managewp.com/\" target=\"_blank\">ManageWP</a> wants to change the way WordPress news is distributed. For six months the team has been working on a new offshoot of their site, dedicated to bringing community-driven news. Today ManageWP launches <a href=\"http://managewp.org/\" target=\"_blank\">ManageWP.org</a>, a new interactive site where anyone can share, vote and promote <a href=\"http://managewp.org/guidelines\" target=\"_blank\">high quality</a> WordPress news. The site was built with an author ranking algorithm similar to PageRank. ManageWP has created a browser bookmarklet to make it easy for users to share to the site, as well as a ManageWP.org sharing button that can be added to any website.<span id=\"more-9927\"></span></p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/managewp.png\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/managewp.png?resize=560%2C358\" alt=\"managewp\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9954\" /></a></p>\n<p>ManageWP isn&#8217;t new to the WordPress news space. In addition to their own regular blog, they&#8217;ve been blending their twitter stream to include articles from many major news sources. ManageWP.org is another interesting take on how commercial products and services are leveraging the high demand for WordPress news in order to bring more traffic and interaction to their websites.</p>\n<p>With WordPress now powering a serious chunk of the web at 20% of all websites, the demand for high quality WordPress news will continue to grow. So far many publishers have found it difficult to sustain a WordPress news source without a strong commercial backing, as in the case of ManageWP. However, the underlying question is always how much of a slant is there based on the commercial interests of the publisher. In the case of a community-curated news site, that is less of a concern, since users are free to vote up the articles they believe to be the most important.</p>\n<p>Do you like the idea of a community-curated news site?

Scott Berkun, a former Microsoft manager during the 1994- 2003 time frame where he worked on the Internet Explorer team is the author of the book, <a href=\"http://www.amazon.com/The-Year-Without-Pants-WordPress-com/dp/1118660633\" title=\"http://www.amazon.com/The-Year-Without-Pants-WordPress-com/dp/1118660633\">The Year Without Pants</a>. In this book, Scott reports on his challenging year working at Automattic on WordPress.com as the leader of one of its most important teams. The book is a tale of his journey but it’s also filled with advice for managers, executives, and employees alike about how great work is done and what Automattic’s success means for the rest of us. We covered a lot of ground in just 40 minutes. <span id=\"more-9948\"></span></p>\n<h2>Stories Discussed:</h2>\n<p><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/news/2013/10/wordpress-3-7-beta-2/\" title=\"http://wordpress.org/news/2013/10/wordpress-3-7-beta-2/\">WordPress 3.7 Beta 2 Released</a><br />\n<a href=\"https://medium.com/lessons-learned/8076216a30b9\" title=\"https://medium.com/lessons-learned/8076216a30b9\">A Two Year Old Conversation Shows Up In a Book</a></p>\n<h2>WPWeekly Meta:</h2>\n<p><strong>Next Episode:</strong> Friday, October 18th 3 P.M.

you&#8217;re an entrepreneur, one of the most exciting ways to validate your idea is to participate in a startup challenge. These intense competitions pit fledgling startups against each other where they are forced to articulate their business ideas before the public as well as a scrutinizing panel of judges. Since the business world is always on the lookout for the next potentially game changing new startup, these competitions are one of the best ways to drive innovation and help entrepreneurs find out if they have what it takes to tackle the challenges of realizing their business dreams.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/matt.png\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/matt.png?resize=148%2C148\" alt=\"matt\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-9932\" /></a>The WordPress community is about to get its very own startup challenge, created by Matt Medeiros. For the past year, Matt has hosted a successful WordPress business podcast for entrepreneurs, startups, and freelancers. On the &#8220;<a href=\"http://mattreport.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Matt Report</a>&#8220;, Matt regularly interviews folks who have made a living using WordPress. On Monday, Matt will be launching a new segment called &#8220;<a href=\"http://mattreport.com/wordpress-startup-challenge\" target=\"_blank\">The WordPress Startup Challenge</a>&#8220;. The challenge will feature early stage startups who will be thrown to the shark tank, a panel of judges comprised of proven WordPress entrepreneurs.<span id=\"more-9908\"></span></p>\n<p>I had the chance to chat with Matt about the details of the WordPress Startup Challenge. While he expects the format to change and mature over time, the series will start out with judges delivering a score based on each startup&#8217;s pitch. &#8220;For the first episode, startups will pitch their idea and demonstrate their product or service to the judges. Judges will give them a score based on their pitch, the product and their estimated outlook to success of both. Most importantly, I&#8217;m giving the startups a chance to ask their most challenging question(s) to the panel for feedback.&#8221;</p>\n<h3>WordPress Entrepreneurs in the Shark Tank</h3>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_9940\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/medium_4522682602.jpg\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i0.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/medium_4522682602.jpg?resize=560%2C420\" alt=\"photo credit: contemplative imaging via photopin cc\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9940\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo credit: <a href=\"http://www.flickr.com/photos/thomas-merton/4522682602/\">contemplative imaging</a> via <a href=\"http://photopin.com\">photopin</a> <a href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/\">cc</a></p></div><br />\nWhile Matt would not reveal who will be on the panel of judges, I was able to find out a little more about his plans for what he is calling the &#8220;shark tank&#8221;. I asked if it would be purely educational or if there might be some dreams crushed in the process. He replied:</p>\n<blockquote><p>First and foremost, it&#8217;s about bringing real meaning to our startup ecosystem. For lack of a better comparison, &#8220;The TechCrunch effect&#8221; of our fellow WP entrepreneurs. </p>\n<p>You see Matt Mullenweg interviewed on various startup shows like This Week in Startups and all the dialogue is about .com and publishing &#8212; but not about the multi-million dollar industry that has spawned from the .org product. (and community)</p>\n<p>Be it themes, plugins or service there&#8217;s great stuff going on. That said, the first &#8220;season&#8221; will be a combo of education, awareness and entertainment. </p></blockquote>\n<p>So who&#8217;s suiting up to get thrown into the tank? Matt has approximately 32 early stage startups on board, including ideas ranging from customer relationship management to a crime vertical to client training and many other varieties. Matt said applicants include, &#8220;Some very interesting startups that are using WordPress to build mobile solutions for entire countries all the way down to niche WordPress service providers.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Matt created his startup challenge with the desire to prove that the WordPress startup ecosystem should be taken seriously. &#8220;I&#8217;ve only scratched the surface. I&#8217;m already seeing super unique passionate individuals and small startups step up to the plate. It proves (to me at least) that building your business on top of WordPress is a real thing. I&#8217;m sure there&#8217;s plenty of other startups out there that have yet to discover me and the show.&#8221;</p>\n<p>Matt has a list of goals that he&#8217;s hoping to accomplish through this first season as the WordPress Startup Challenge plays out:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Validation of the WordPress startup scene</li>\n<li>A strong sense of community</li>\n<li>The vision of WordPress as the internet&#8217;s Operating System, be it far off, is not just a pipe dream</li>\n<li>For the audience to discover new opportunity while learning from the panel and startups</li>\n<li>What else can we do with WordPress?</li>\n</ul>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve had a startup idea buzzing around in your head and you&#8217;re not afraid of the shark tank, send your pitch to Matt and get some feedback. There are a lot of people who have been down this road who may have some valuable advice to help you refine your idea. </p>\n<p>The WordPress Startup Challenge has the potential to be very educational and will explore the strength of some exciting early stage startups. <a href=\"http://mattreport.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Tune in on Monday</a> to find out if these innovators have what it takes to tackle the challenges of entrepreneurship in the WordPress community. </p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/KNGuuD5HsbM\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Fri, 11 Oct 2013 20:02:36 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"Sarah Gooding\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:44;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:52:\"WP Windows Phone 7: Making a Splash with Version 2.2\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:42:\"http://wpwindowsphone.wordpress.com/?p=466\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:61:\"http://wpwindowsphone.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/making-splash/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:3206:\"<p>It&#8217;s been an exciting few months for WordPress for Windows Phone.

Since that post was published, Christopher has made a number of improvements to the plugin. Now when you publish a post, the WP Admin slides to the left with a shadow bar in the middle, and the content on the right. There&#8217;s an X near the top right corner of the page that exits out of the preview window. <span id=\"more-9906\"></span></p>\n<div id=\"attachment_9907\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http://i1.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/UpdatedInlinePreview.jpg\" rel=\"thumbnail\"><img src=\"http://i2.wp.com/www.wptavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/UpdatedInlinePreview.jpg?resize=500%2C164\" alt=\"Inline Preview Plugin\" class=\"size-large wp-image-9907\" /></a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Updated Version Of Inline Preview</p></div>\n<p>Christopher has now taken things one step further by <a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/25546\" title=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/25546\">creating a feature request</a> using his inline preview plugin which falls in line with the new approach of features as plugins first. In the ticket, he lists pain points in previewing a post and suggests returning to the way in-page previewing used to work in WordPress but give it a facelift. </p>\n<p>When I tested the new plugin version on my local install, I loved the way it worked. It&#8217;s quick and the bar to adjust the size of the preview pane is a nice touch. I think the adjuster could use a more defining image instead of a vertical shadow. Something like a little grey bar with arrows on each side telling the user that image can be moved left or right. As listed in the likely candidates for improvement, the X button could use some work although it works just fine as it is. Although the preview pane does not update in real-time with edits made on the Post Writing screen, each time an auto-save or revision occurs, the changes are automatically updated within the inline preview. </p>\n<p>One of the biggest challenges to having something like this in core is making sure it&#8217;s compatible with as many themes as possible. While using it here on the Tavern, I noticed it shrinks the text on the website almost to the point where it&#8217;s hard to read. The other challenge is performance. Using the tavern theme as an example, there is a significant delay when trying to adjust the width of the inline preview box. It&#8217;s not as smooth of an experience as it could be. In fact, the type of delays and performance I&#8217;m seeing is similar to the widget administration page. </p>\n<p>I reached out to Christopher Finke and asked him what his best argument was for including Inline Preview to the core of WordPress;</p>\n<blockquote><p>The best argument for adding inline preview to core is that it improves the current multi-step and disjoint processes of editing and previewing a post by combining them into a single seamless action of post creation.  Users could switch from the mindset of &#8220;Edit, preview, edit, preview&#8221; to just &#8220;Write.&#8221;</p>\n<p>However, when I submitted the ticket, I wasn&#8217;t aware of the possibility that front-end editing will be a feature in WordPress 3.8: <a href=\"http://make.wordpress.org/ui/2013/09/14/front-end-editor/\" title=\"http://make.wordpress.org/ui/2013/09/14/front-end-editor/\">http://make.wordpress.org/ui/2013/09/14/front-end-editor/</a>  If that is the direction that WordPress is going, then radically changing the backend editing process may not be a priority.</p></blockquote>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in seeing something like this be added to the core of WordPress as I am, you should download the plugin, test it on your site with your design and give feedback in the <a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/25546\" title=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/25546\">Trac ticket</a>. </p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/iMe_rec1j4w\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" />\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 10 Oct 2013 18:29:35 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:6:\"Jeffro\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:48;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:79:\"WordPress.tv: Kyle Unzicker: My First 414 Days As A Freelancer: A Retrospective\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:28:\"http://wordpress.tv/?p=23030\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:95:\"http://wordpress.tv/2013/10/10/kyle-unzicker-my-first-414-days-as-a-freelancer-a-retrospective/\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:713:\"<div id=\"v-fv0710kX-1\" class=\"video-player\">\n</div>\n<br />  <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/wptv.wordpress.com/23030/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/wptv.wordpress.com/23030/\" /></a> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=wordpress.tv&blog=5089392&post=23030&subd=wptv&ref=&feed=1\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" /><div><a href=\"http://wordpress.tv/2013/10/10/kyle-unzicker-my-first-414-days-as-a-freelancer-a-retrospective/\"><img alt=\"Kyle Unzicker: My First 414 Days As A Freelancer: A Retrospective\" src=\"http://videos.videopress.com/fv0710kX/video-b7b2183018_scruberthumbnail_0.jpg\" width=\"160\" height=\"120\" /></a></div>\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:7:\"pubDate\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"Thu, 10 Oct 2013 12:11:32 +0000\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}s:32:\"http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:12:\"WordPress.tv\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}}}}i:49;a:6:{s:4:\"data\";s:13:\"\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";s:5:\"child\";a:2:{s:0:\"\";a:5:{s:5:\"title\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:48:\"WPTavern: Make.WordPress.org Gets A New Homepage\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"guid\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:31:\"http://www.wptavern.com/?p=9877\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:4:\"link\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:100:\"http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~3/PsSq8o2vf6I/make-wordpress-org-gets-a-new-homepage\";s:7:\"attribs\";a:0:{}s:8:\"xml_base\";s:0:\"\";s:17:\"xml_base_explicit\";b:0;s:8:\"xml_lang\";s:0:\"\";}}s:11:\"description\";a:1:{i:0;a:5:{s:4:\"data\";s:2982:\"<p>Coming home from a WordCamp is like falling back to earth after floating on a cloud for a weekend. You&#8217;ve probably noticed that WordCamp Europe attendees are now blogging about their experiences at the WordPress party of the year. Their posts are packed full of speaker notes, shoutouts to new friends and pictures of the epic after party, which looked not unlike a rave, by the way.</p>\n<p>But some of the most exciting action happened at the WordCamp Europe Contributor Day, where attendees collaborated  together in person to swiftly complete a number of key projects.<span id=\"more-9877\"></span>     </p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" width=\"550\"><p>Pizza, WordPress, geekery, beer, code :) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23wceu&src=hash\">#wceu</a> contributor day</p>\n<p>&mdash; Ryan Hellyer (@ryanhellyer) <a href=\"https://twitter.com/ryanhellyer/statuses/387254309500751873\">October 7, 2013</a></p></blockquote>\n<p></p>\n<p>Well if that doesn&#8217;t make you wish you were there, I don&#8217;t know what will.

Many thanks to those who worked at WCEU to improve the homepage and to those who will continue their work. We&#8217;re looking forward to seeing how this page evolves. Do you think the new presentation will encourage more people to jump in and get involved in a contributor group?</p>\n<img src=\"http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/WordpressTavern/~4/PsSq8o2vf6I\"

been talking with a lot of program and project managers and executives&nbsp;lately, asking their opinions about the challenges faced with running and managing complex programs.&nbsp;&nbsp;These managers and executives&nbsp;have a minimum thirty years experience, have managed complex programs in the hundreds of millions of dollars, and have worked with a variety of PPM tools.&nbsp; We\'ve seen and heard that many projects go over budget and over time, and rarely is there a sense that a program has been run in an \"optimal\" way, so that\'s how the conversation started.<br /><br /><span style=\"color: #274e13;\"><em><strong>In response, I&nbsp;heard some \"war stories;\" here are a few of the highlights:</strong></em></span><br /><ol><li>&nbsp;I keep seeing programs <strong>drift away from the original goals</strong>.&nbsp; The justification for the program is done up front, and the program gets approved, and then it gets handed to the PMO.&nbsp; The PMO maps out the execution so that the end point of the program matches the justification, but then the Program Manager gets all wrapped up in coordinating between projects, reviewing status reports, managing issues and risks, and <strong>we don\'t have time to&nbsp;keep reviewing&nbsp;the corporate objectives</strong>, as long as we are still moving toward that original end state.</li><li>Another problem we see is with <strong>accountability</strong>.&nbsp; The executive sponsor doesn\'t really have a way to monitor accountability toward the corporate goals throughout the program.&nbsp; </li><li><strong>In-flight changes</strong> are another issue.&nbsp;&nbsp;If goals change, or something&nbsp;outside of the program happens that impacts the business,&nbsp;we don\'t really have a way to handle that within the PPM systems, and we certainly don\'t have a way to rapidly adjust without re-baselining everything - which can take weeks.</li><li>Programs should really be <strong>managed like corporate initiatives</strong>.&nbsp; Business rules don\'t really tie into a program once it has started.</li><li>Things get so complex that <strong>decisions made in one department that have a profound impact elsewhere, aren\'t recognized</strong>.&nbsp;I managed a big migration project once, where an entity had to separate itself from the government network to which it had been connected.&nbsp; It was a moderately sized program, with about twenty distinct projects in it, and it was a \"must-do\" project without a real ROI justification.&nbsp; It just had to be done.&nbsp; We were handed the program to run, and laid out all of the project plans, scheduled all of the resources, even had to hire some contractors to help out.&nbsp; Guess what?&nbsp; Purchasing, which was not managed within the program, didn\'t place the order for the servers.&nbsp; They had been given the order, but the accounting department, which also wasn\'t managed within the program, decided that they should negotiate better pricing, which took them about six weeks.&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes, we knew that there was a delay in purchasing, but we had no idea that, after that six weeks was up and the order finally given to the vendor, that it would take the vendor another six weeks to deliver.&nbsp; <strong>We had ten different project teams sitting virtually idle for twelve weeks</strong> - thank heavens we didn\'t mobilize all twenty teams!&nbsp; Honestly, I bet we ate up whatever they saved by negotiating the price - and maybe about ten or even twenty&nbsp;times more than that.</li></ol>Based on these responses (and there were quite a few more stories, let me tell you), I asked this question:<br /><br /><span style=\"color: #274e13;\"><em><strong>What if you could tie program management into the corporate objectives, leverage the business&nbsp;requirements,&nbsp;and create continuous visibility into the future impacts of both project decisions and business decisions?</strong></em></span>&nbsp; <br /><br />Answers:<br /><ol><li>There\'s nothing out there that does that.&nbsp; If there were, it would be gold.</li><li>We could take a MBO (management by objectives) kind of approach.&nbsp; That would be awesome.</li><li>It would elevate Program Management to \"Corporate Initiative Management.\"</li><li>The executive sponsor could push down the business\'s requirements, and then hold the delivering organization accountable for business results and to the ROI justifications.&nbsp; That would be amazing.</li><li>Understanding how what we do today will impact the future of the project would be terrific.&nbsp; We can\'t see far enough into the future when we are running these programs to know when we might end up checkmating ourselves, or when the business might checkmate us without realizing it.</li></ol>After getting this input, I handed my conversation partner the information sheet on World Modeler DEEPM™ (in person or virtually), and excused myself from the meeting for a few minutes.&nbsp; Upon returning, it would not be unusual for me&nbsp;to see scribbles and stars all over the sheet.&nbsp; Then these highly qualified, tremendously experienced program managers started firing questions and comments&nbsp;at me.&nbsp; <br /><ol><li>Can you really do this?&nbsp; <em><span style=\"color: #274e13;\"><strong>Yes, we can.&nbsp; We have.</strong></span></em></li><li>I like the name, because our view can stay pretty shallow, and I like the idea of being deeply integrated with the business.&nbsp; What does the name mean?&nbsp; <span style=\"color: #274e13;\"><em><strong>It comes from Decision Engineering for Enterprise Program Management - DEEPM.</strong></em></span></li><li><span style=\"color: black;\">Can we set up the program goals and all of the dependencies, and then have it tell us the optimal way to do the various projects inside the program?&nbsp; </span><span style=\"color: #274e13;\"><em><strong>Yes, you can.</strong></em></span></li><li><span style=\"color: black;\">This is for the business sponsor, or portfolio manager, or maybe a PMO Director, if they are measured on business results; project managers probably won\'t even know about it.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span style=\"color: #274e13;\"><em><strong>Good input, thank you.</strong></em></span></li><li>Does this integrate with PPM tools, or does it replace them, or what?&nbsp; <em><span style=\"color: #274e13;\"><strong>It does not replace PPM tools, and it will integrate with them.&nbsp; It essentially sits on top of the PPM toolset, and its job is to link the business\'s requirements, rules, and decisions into a forward-looking model that the Program Manager can monitor, share, and adjust as reality hits.</strong></span></em></li><li><span style=\"color: black;\">Explain this picture please.&nbsp; </span><span style=\"color: #274e13;\"><em><strong>[The picture to which he referred is below.]&nbsp; Programs have goals, and the projects get mapped out to achieve the end target.&nbsp; However, especially in transformation projects, the ROI is not just an end goal.&nbsp; The project execution can be optimized to return ROI whenever possible throughout the program.&nbsp; In short, visibility and linkage to the business\'s ROI expectations allows things like the order of projects and project execution to be truly optimized.</strong></em></span></li></ol><br /><table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"margin-left: auto;

minor-latin;\"><br /><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Q1:&nbsp; Do you have specific use cases in manufacturing, specifically around operational problem solving in a factory setting?</span><br /></span></span><br /><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;

manufacturing experts, but here are some ideas that come from our work in optimizing processes that may be applicable in your situation:</span></div><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"></span><br /></div><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;

minor-latin;\">On the factory floor, we see Predictive Intelligence playing a role in a variety of situations, including optimizing the purchase of new equipment and/or the continuing use of older equipment, equipment selection, how to best balance capacity with order volumes and across product lines, and production planning.&nbsp; We also see plant equipment that is gathering data about performance, and a need to quickly aggregate that data to understand overall potential outcomes.&nbsp; Predictive Intelligence models can help with these situations, and likely can impact outcomes that we have not yet considered, helping to maximize quality while reducing risk and cost.</span></div><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family:

Roman&quot;; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;\">In the broader context, questions like “do we build another factory?,” “do we enter a new market?,” or “how do we set this price?” have historically been answered by analyzing past performance data, which is then projected into the future.&nbsp; However, sometimes the future is not enough like the past for this to be effective.&nbsp; </span></div><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family:

wage contracts and tax laws can have a substantial impact on the future.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; </span>However,<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp; </span>many organizations don\'t track and monitor the impacts of these external factors.&nbsp; World Modeler models assumptions and facts about external influences on our decisions, combines them with decision levers, does appropriate calculations, and models multiple outcomes simultaneously.&nbsp; It also does decision optimization: where we use a predictive model to determine the levers that achieve a certain set of outcomes.&nbsp; Since the decision model is iterative and agile, it can be re-run at any time as actual performance data is accumulated, and/or when external factors change.&nbsp; Our robust data binding capability makes the continuous QA of a decision fast and powerful.</span></div><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: Calibri; margin: 0in;\"><span style=\"font-family: inherit;

discussion in the webinar of the classic:&nbsp;\"diapers and beer\" story.&nbsp; As the story goes, we see simultaneous spikes of diaper sales and beer sales, and draw a conclusion that buying diapers causes the purchase of beer.&nbsp; In&nbsp;this example, &nbsp;there\'s a third factor: late night trips to the store to buy diapers.&nbsp; There is a correlation between&nbsp;diapers and beer, but diaper purchases do not cause beer purchases.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As illustrated by this example, Big Data is fraught with&nbsp;the risk of spurious conclusions, which&nbsp;can then lead to spurious business decisions.</span></span></div><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;

historical information - either about the target company\'s performance, founders, market, or competitors. Yet, disruption can come from any direction.&nbsp; Due diligence needs to be expanded to consider a future that we do not yet understand, data that&nbsp;we have, as well as data we may <u>not</u> have, and human expertise when data is unavailable.&nbsp;&nbsp;By clearly understanding the levers we can pull or push, the external information that impacts our desired outcomes, and how all of these factors connect together, we can&nbsp;create a forward-looking view and a more complete picture of the potential for investment and/or development. </span></span><br /><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\"></span><br /><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Some experts claim, correctly, that accurate prediction regarding financial markets is very difficult, especially when compared to making predictions about systems that have reasonably stable behavior in aggregate.&nbsp; This is true, but despite our inability to predict, we still must make investment decisions. The solution to this dilemma is to stay agile and to work collaboratively, combining the best of human expertise and data in&nbsp;a structured way.</span></div><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin:

distribution function of a data element; 2) The visual and agile nature of a predictive intelligence model means that we can change direction more rapidly when circumstances change.&nbsp; So, for instance, we may assume that our competitor\'s price is around $8.&nbsp; But we can do some analysis of a model that shows that if the price goes as low as $6 or as high as $10, then our levers won\'t achieve the same outcomes, and might need to be adjusted.&nbsp; So we track these externals - also called \"key assumptions\" - and when they drift \"out of band\", we go back to the decision model and re-run it based on the new information.</span></span></div><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: &quot;Times New

where decision-makers keep their decision rationale to themselves, that trust gap likely already exists.&nbsp; There are several factors that will bridge the gap.&nbsp; Predictive Intelligence - decision modeling - creates a level of \"decision transparency\" that builds trust.&nbsp;&nbsp;Instead of mistrusting a decision, and arguing about it, stakeholders can now hold a more productive conversation about levers and externals, assumptions, and the human expertise that may have been considered.&nbsp; The conversation becomes constructive and collaborative rather than defensive and mistrustful.&nbsp; There are no hidden agendas in a decision model, where the system is exposed and the right people have input to the process.</span></span></div><div class=\"MsoNormal\"

workers:&nbsp; historically, we have seen that Friday ER visits are 30% higher than Thursday ER visits.&nbsp; We don\'t need to know the cause to know that we need to staff up on Fridays.&nbsp; If, however, we are trying to answer the question, \"what can we do to reduce ER visits on Fridays?\" we will want some analysis about typical health complaints by ER visitors on Thursdays and Fridays, so that we can determine if we can add any preventative measures to our levers.&nbsp; Disagreement is usually rooted in assumptions and ideology, and adding a fact-based view via&nbsp;a decision model can elevate the discussion to a new level.&nbsp; If someone wants to argue facts, the facts are there.&nbsp; If, however, someone wants to argue <em>beliefs</em>, no software on earth is going to cope

Predicting which patients are likely to readmit, based on historical information about readmission - done.&nbsp; Predicting how products will sell based on placement on the store shelves - done.&nbsp; Predicting what you might want to buy, based on what others have purchased, or on what you\'ve purchased before - done (though with a few flaws; as we all know, gift buying can really mess up those recommendations).<o:p></o:p></span></div><br /><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;\">But…<o:p></o:p></span></div><br /><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;\">Predictive analytics about income streams&nbsp;for healthcare providers&nbsp;went out the window with the Affordable Care Act.&nbsp; Predictive analytics about stock performance went down the chute with the financial collapse of 2008.&nbsp; Predictive analytics about the travel industry went sadly, horribly awry in September of 2001.&nbsp; The mobile telephone market\'s future&nbsp;was upended with the introduction of the iPhone.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br /><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;\">Predictive analytics is not so helpful in understanding these “black swan” events, because it is based on a \"revert to mean\" approach that, arguably, was even at the core of the most recent US presidential election.&nbsp; <span style=\"color: black;\">(<a href=\"http://www.quantellia.com/bl1/post/2012/11/17/Understanding-the-US-2012-Presidential-Election-Result-How-Models-Triumphed-over-Big-Data.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Read more here</a>).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><br /><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;\">Where predictive analytics is focused solely on historical data —collected, captured, cleaned, and perfected—<b>Predictive Intelligence focuses first on the desired outcome.</b>&nbsp; Instead of collecting information to determine what kinds of decisions can be made, Predictive Intelligence provides a decision&nbsp;roadmap so that organizations can achieve the outcomes they require.&nbsp; It provides a “focusing lens” on what could otherwise be an overwhelming amount of data, and identifies which information is the most critical for achieving those outcomes. This information often includes human expertise, when data is in short supply.&nbsp; <b>In other words, Predictive Intelligence lives at the juncture of data (including big data) analytics and human expertise, combining the robust and evidence-based approach from the former with the agility, intuitiveness, and speed of the latter.</b> <b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div><br /><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;\"><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt;\">Predictive Intelligence is a robust systems <b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\">model</b>that leverages the results of predictive analytics, complexity theory, systems analysis, data management, pattern recognition, big data, and more, but goes further -&nbsp;incorporating human expertise, assumptions, external factors, dependencies, and inter-dependencies.&nbsp;&nbsp; It combines these elements in a piecewise way into a framework that provides the best of both worlds. Where predictive analytics typically answers one question, <b>Predictive Intelligence manages and models multiple outcomes at the same time</b>.&nbsp; It’s a bridge between the data-driven, fully automated decision-making systems of the past, and what is needed to navigate an uncertain future. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br /><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;

By starting with the outcomes, considering external factors like competitive actions, interest rates,&nbsp;and predictive analysis of customer churn, and weaving in human expertise, logic, and situational awareness, Predictive Intelligence takes&nbsp;an organization to the next level - true Decision Intelligence.&nbsp; Had Predictive Intelligence been part of the conversation above, the answers would have been readily apparent, and decisions about the next year could have been made right then and there.&nbsp;And because Predictive Intelligence must have “low cognitive friction” for decision makers to find it valuable, it is <b style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;\">intuitive</b><span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\">&nbsp;</span>- interactive, 3D, and actually a bit fun – and, most importantly, Predictive Intelligence matches the natural way that decision makers think about complex situations, based on years of research into collaborative decision making at hundreds of organizations.<o:p></o:p></span></div><br /><div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;

Any CEO who runs his or her business as an autocracy is doomed to a life of disengaged employees and a disengaged executive team.  The idea that \"the only person that really matters is you\" as a message to CEOs is just wrong.  Wow.  If the team doesn\'t clearly understand the decisions made, and the process used to make them, isn\'t aligned around the expected outcomes, and doesn\'t understand what levers to push and pull to make it happen, CEOs will also be doomed to a life of having the execution of their decisions completely on their own shoulders.

can no longer be made simply by doing what the article\'s author states:&nbsp; \"the business world trains us to actively solicit opinions, bounce ideas off other people, and run our ideas up proverbial flagpoles in order to harness the amazing brain power of the many to make awesomely incredible decisions.\"<br /><br />The decision-making methodology needs to change, we agree&nbsp;- but not to an autocracy nor a dictatorship.<br /><br />Decisions should be made using a decision model.&nbsp; <br /><br />Decision models shift the attention away from the decision (bear with me) and on to the components of the decision, the first of which is the outcome.&nbsp; If a decision-making team does not agree on what it is that&nbsp;needs to be achieved, then&nbsp;that is the first issue that must be addressed.<br /><br /><strong>Step One:&nbsp; Align around the specific&nbsp;outcome and the associated goal.</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; For example, the outcome might be \"increased revenues,\" and the associated goal is \"by X in what timeframe.\"<br /><br /><strong>Step Two:</strong>&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;List all of the measurable, <u>controllable</u> factors that impact that outcome</strong>.&nbsp; These are your levers.&nbsp; For example,&nbsp;budgeting to further train your sales team, changing the price of your product, or investing in new equipment.<br /><br /><strong>Step Three:</strong>&nbsp; <strong>List all of the measurable, <u>uncontrollable</u> factors that impact the outcome</strong>.&nbsp; These are your externals.&nbsp; Some examples of&nbsp;externals include&nbsp;regulatory controls, a tax rate, prevailing wage, or the price that your competition is charging for a similar product.<br /><br /><strong>Step Four:</strong>&nbsp; <strong>Determine how all of these factors impact each other</strong>.&nbsp; These intermediates will, most likely, be calculated values, input from a database or a spreadsheet, and frequently also include human expertise as well as non-data-based inputs.&nbsp; This is where things get fascinating.<br /><br /><strong>Step Five:&nbsp; Adjust the&nbsp;levers, monitor the intermediates, and watch the outcomes.</strong>&nbsp; Now go back to the decision you are trying to make, and determine the impact that different decisions will have on the near future as well as \"over the horizon.\"&nbsp; <br /><br />If a decision isn\'t behaving as you think it should, examine the components, don\'t argue about the decision.&nbsp; <br /><br />Tying back to the original article, it does not take away from power, responsibility, authority, or accountability to have transparency in decisions.&nbsp; Rather, a level five leader (thanks, <a href=\"http://www.jimcollins.com/media_topics/level-5.html#audio=81\" target=\"_blank\">Jim Collins</a>) will actively engage his team, and will do so in a manner that is consistently humble while remaining powerful.&nbsp; The buck does, in fact, always stop at the CEOs desk, but a CEO who solicits input to a transparent decision methodology will have a higher performing team than&nbsp;one who thinks that his or her opinion is the only one that really matters.<br /><br />Exiting soapbox now.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br

href=\"http://www.forbes.com/sites/gilpress/2013/12/12/16-1-billion-big-data-market-2014-predictions-from-idc-and-iia/#!\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">summary of the 2013 Big Data market predictions from IDC and IIA</a> is quite illuminating.&nbsp; With a prediction (IDC) that the market will reach $16.1 Billion next year, the first question the predictions must bring up is \"why?\" and the most illuminating statistic is the prediction that infrastructure (servers, storage, etc.) is predicted to be the&nbsp;fastest growing segment at 45% of the market, while services only account for a predicted 29% of the market.<br /><br />IDC also commented \"that the benefits of big data are not always clear today.\"&nbsp; <br /><br />If I\'ve done my math right, spending on infrastructure for Big Data will exceed $7.2 billion, while&nbsp;Big Data services&nbsp;spend&nbsp;will lag significantly at about $4.6 billion.<br /><br />In other words, we don\'t know what to do with it, but we\'re sure we should have it, so we are going to give storage and server vendors lots of money while we figure it out.&nbsp; <br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">(There\'s a great slide running around LinkedIn for the past few weeks.&nbsp; It\'s a little in-your-face, funny, and all too true.&nbsp; I won\'t give you the comparison, but the punch line is that \"everyone talks about it, nobody really knows how to do it, everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so everyone claims they are doing it.\"&nbsp; It\'s been widely quoted, so you should be able to find it by plugging the quoted phrase into a search engine.)</blockquote>Big Data is&nbsp;one of the greatest hardware sales strategies ever invented.<br /><br />I\'m just going to say it:&nbsp; this reminds me of&nbsp;the TV show&nbsp;\"Hoarders\" - not the gross episodes, but&nbsp;ones where people are living&nbsp;surrounded by \"stuff,\" to which they are clinging in&nbsp; the off-chance they will need it one day.&nbsp; Some of the people profiled even have storage lockers for which they are paying monthly fees, and these lockers are filled with more stuff that they might find a use for one day.&nbsp; <br /><br />If there isn\'t a plan, then holding on to everything might make sense, on some level.&nbsp; If you don\'t know what it is that you need to know, then collecting every bit of data in case it someday becomes useful could be a strategy, albeit an expensive one.&nbsp; <br /><br />Here\'s a useful tip:&nbsp; <u>the majority of data is irrelevant</u>.&nbsp; The old 80/20 rule applies even here:&nbsp; 80% of the usefulness will come from 20% of the data.&nbsp; <br /><br />Here\'s another useful tip:&nbsp; the world is changing faster and faster, and what used to be 80/20 might become 90/10 through the law of diminishing returns.&nbsp; In other words, big data loses relevance over time.&nbsp; Much like \"the hoard\" on that TV show, the pile can start to smell after it has aged a bit. <br /><br />We can spend money to collect it, spend money to store it, and spend money, eventually, to analyze it, at which point we will find out that we have paid out a lot of money for very little return.&nbsp; <br /><br />What if, instead of lengthy Big Data initiatives, we were to start with the outcomes we need, and pull in only the data that is relevant, combine it with our own expertise, and proceed to make complex business decisions right now?<br /><br />My read of the Forbes article is that Big Data is good business for storage vendors.&nbsp; Is it good business for everyone else?&nbsp; <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />&nbsp;

started a conversation regarding Big Data&nbsp;on LinkedIn that took on a life of its own.&nbsp; I\'ve been thinking about writing about Big Data for a while now, and I just don\'t think I can write it any better than the conversation that played out.&nbsp; <br /><br />Here is my original statement:<br /><div><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">When Big Data is just illogical - I saw a post not long  ago that I just can\'t get out of my head. It was from an \"industry expert\" and  all about how we must accumulate data, and store data, and make data wonderful  and perfect, and then, after all that is done, we should figure out how we might  use it (literally, it is a 4-step Big Data Strategy, and figuring out how we use  it is Step 4). This does not make sense to me. That is like a world-renowned  chef telling us that we must read every cookbook published before we decide  what\'s for dinner. Don\'t you think?</blockquote></div><span class=\"commentary\"></span><br /><span class=\"commentary\">And here\'s the conversation that took place between some pretty knowledgeable experts in the field (and, to clarify,&nbsp;I am not one of the commenters below):</span><br /><span class=\"commentary\"></span><br /><span class=\"commentary\">First commenter:</span><br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><q><span class=\"commentary\">In a perfect world, you are right  - you would know the questions you want answered beforehand. However, his point  likely is that since we don\'t live in a perfect world, we need to collect,  store, and optimize data before we start asking questions. Data miners look for  questions to ask by finding patterns in the data. This is also emphasized with  Big Data since you want to capture more data to aid the questions you will ask  in the future that you don\'t know to ask today! IMO, you are both right!</span>  </q></blockquote>Second commenter:<br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><q><span class=\"commentary\">Nicely put! However, I think  there is an important distinction here: scientists begin by trying to find  interesting patterns. For this purpose, context represents bias. For business  people and other practitioners, context is everything, and represents cues as to  where to search for valuable patterns. The solution to the \"imperfect world\" of  not understanding the questions to ask is to determine the obstacles to clarity  of questions, not to gather more data. Gathering/cleansing/migrating more data  in that situation is like trying to find a needle in a haystack by adding more  hay, IMHO.</span></q>&nbsp;</blockquote>First commenter:<br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><q><span class=\"commentary\">Good point. I\'m not exactly  certain what the expert\'s true point was. I was just commenting that often the  utility of data extends beyond its original purpose for being captured. I agree  that capturing data for data\'s sake is not typically a good thing. We should  always have goals in mind and I assumed as such. But even our goals are often  more vague than our actual queries, demanding broader (but not non-sensible)  data collection within our domains - at least until proven not useful.</span>  </q>&nbsp;</blockquote>First commenter:<br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><q><span class=\"commentary\">One last thought here: basically,  with big data, the trend is shifting from sample collection to population  collection because of increased computing capabilities, which are just at the  beginning of being realized. Instead of just adding more hay, we now have all  the hay and all the needles. This doesn\'t mean we don\'t adjust moving forward,  but this new trend does mean data collection comes before questioning. We just  collect the population as it exists and query it later.</span>&nbsp;</q>&nbsp;</blockquote>Second commenter:<br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><q><span class=\"commentary\">In my experience, data  collection, analysis, management, cleansing, and migration can be extremely  time-consuming and expensive. I have seen large, capable organizations spend  years on a data management project before extracting any value from it. Perhaps  the organizations you\'ve worked with are different than mine, so I wonder what  environments you\'ve seen it end up being worthwhile to collect data first, and  determine the queries later? I\'m thinking there may be a couple of different use  case categories here, and that this might lead to a worthwhile distinction as we  implement big data strategies. Thank you for this interesting  conversation!</span>&nbsp;</q>&nbsp;</blockquote>I like to call this \"The Cheshire Cat School of Management,\" which means \"if you don\'t know where you\'re going, any road will get you there.\"&nbsp; If you don\'t know what a needle looks like, adding more hay to the haystack is a task not worth undertaking, and the idea of collecting massive amounts of data just in case we might want it for something (but we don\'t know what) later, is a conundrum to me.&nbsp; Yes, storage space is cheaper now than ever before; I get that.&nbsp; But I have to pull out one of my stock sayings here - \"a blue velvet pantsuit that you will never wear isn\'t a bargain at any price.\"&nbsp; (You\'re welcome to ask me the origin of that saying; it\'s one of my favorites.)<br /><br />Big Data has its place, and it can provide valuable information in certain use cases, without a doubt.&nbsp; But collecting data for the sake of collecting data, and hoping that someday it will be useful, is only putting money in the storage vendors\' collective pockets (and oh, by the way, it was an executive at a storage vendor who came up with the previously-mentioned 4-Step Big Data Strategy).&nbsp; The other angle, of course, is that the window of usability of Big Data can be very small, so collecting it now for use later may be a totally irrelevant exercise.&nbsp; I\'ll expand on that in a different post.<br /><br />Conclusion:&nbsp; If you don\'t know what a needle looks like, a bigger haystack is not going to help you find it.&nbsp; Start with the outcome - the needle - and then focus your search on the data - and other information -&nbsp;that will help you achieve it.&nbsp; Don\'t get sucked in by the Big Data hype engine if it isn\'t going to get you where you need to go.<br /><br /><br /><div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a

can\'t stop thinking about the business associate who shared with me that the mysterious \"they\" had been hard at work rallying the troops around the expectations for 2014 performance.&nbsp; \"They\" told one department lead that revenues in her department need to increase by 20% next year.&nbsp; Another department&nbsp;leader was told that he needed to&nbsp;drop his costs by 10%.&nbsp;&nbsp;The rationale behind these expectations was not shared with either of these people.<br /><br />Let the whack-a-mole games begin.<br /><div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">&nbsp;</div>I\'ve posted before about how getting everyone in the boat is one thing, but having them all row in the same direction, productively, is another.&nbsp; Many organizations set&nbsp;it up so that, instead of rowing, the oar-wielders&nbsp;just hit each other over the head with their oars, arguing all the while about what direction the boat should go in.&nbsp; Setting up the annual budget process like I described above is a recipe for that exact&nbsp;disaster.<br /><br />I find myself wondering how many annual budgets are created by telling the revenue producing groups that they need to raise revenues by some percentage next year, while&nbsp;delivering some other message (hold costs or decrease costs, typically) to the cost-centric departments.&nbsp; How much of the plan for the next year is driven around hoping that at least one of those groups will be able to do as they\'ve been told?&nbsp; <br /><br />Hope is not a strategy.&nbsp; (I don\'t remember who said it, but I like it!)<br /><br />Imagine, for a moment, that the business in question is&nbsp;in the consumer&nbsp;packaged goods industry.&nbsp; They make food products.&nbsp; The department told to raise revenues by 20%&nbsp; is the Retail group.&nbsp; The department told to decrease cost next year is Distribution.&nbsp; You see where I am going here, right?<br /><br />Short of an across-the-board price increase while maintaining the same number of units sold, there may be no way to&nbsp;increase retail sales by 20% with zero impact on the rest of the organization.&nbsp; Do we need to deliver 20% more product to the retail channel?&nbsp; Do we need increased marketing?&nbsp; More salespeople?&nbsp; More retail outlets?&nbsp; What about the supply chain?&nbsp; How is Distribution supposed to decrease costs when Retail is going to need more of their services to deliver 20% more product?<br /><br />Is it even practical to tell one department that its number must go up while telling other departments that their numbers must go down?&nbsp; <br /><br />It might be.&nbsp; But most organizations in this situation don\'t know the answer for sure, and have zero transparency in the decision process.<br /><br />The relationships between departments and their individual goals are called \"interdependencies.\"&nbsp; These interdependencies are frequently ignored in the annual budgeting process.&nbsp; Each department is given its own&nbsp;outcomes to achieve,&nbsp;to which they are held accountable.&nbsp; What is the real outcome, though?&nbsp; What is the organizational outcome?&nbsp;&nbsp;Are these departmental goals the&nbsp;best way to achieve that outcome?&nbsp; &nbsp; <br /><br />Spreadsheets can\'t provide the answer - at least not in a manner that can be easily absorbed.&nbsp; There are simply too many variables to consider in one massive sheet filled with numbers, or even multiple sheets filled with numbers.&nbsp; Plus, our brain doesn\'t do its best work by looking at numbers (but that\'s a story for another day.)&nbsp; Predictive analytics is one piece of the answer, perhaps, if we assume that the future is just like the past, and we make decisions based only on historical data.&nbsp; Let\'s face it: predictive analytics using historical data as a proxy for the future (another story for yet another day).<br /><br />Modeling the annual budget process, using a visual decision model, will provide the insight about future performance that is critically required.&nbsp; Without that insight, organizations are doomed to repeat the refrain we hear time and time again - \"The departments are hitting their goals, but the organization is not.&nbsp; What\'s wrong?\"&nbsp; <br /><br />What\'s wrong is that there are too many moles, and no visibility into which mole is going to pop up next.&nbsp; Whack away, but winning the game, if it happens, is only a happy accident.&nbsp; <br /><br /><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><a

sales forecasting (and we all know they exist, right?), why do organizations worldwide continue to hang their corporate hats on the sales forecast?<br /><br />Simple answer:&nbsp; in most organizations, it\'s all there is.&nbsp; <br /><br />What if it were possible to avoid all of the corporate angst that goes along with trying to forecast next year\'s revenues?&nbsp; What if it were possible to have a system that allows corporate decisions to be made <u>without</u> an <em>accurate</em>&nbsp;annual prediction from the sales team?&nbsp; <br /><br />What if it were possible to extrapolate opportunity information, combine it with historical performance, consider external factors (like changes in the economic climate, the price of fuel, or minimum wage), add in levers (like sales team growth, marketing investment, internal training, or streamlining the quote process), and actually create simulations of&nbsp;different versions of the possible future?<br /><br />What if&nbsp;it were <u>then</u> possible to take those simulations, add in the corporate key performance indicators, and fully understand the entire whack-a-mole picture for the entire organization?<br /><br />Finally, what if it were possible to create a robust decision-making methodology for the entire organization into which the sales forecast is one, <em>potentially imperfect</em>,&nbsp;data point?<br /><br />What if we could learn some lessons from the world of software, and incorporate a more agile approach to the decisions we make based on the sales forecast?<br /><br />We can, and yes, it is all possible.<br /><br />By way of background - and this is lengthy, so you can skim through to the last few paragraphs if you&nbsp; want to get straight to the point....<br /><br />We\'ve had a lot of discussions lately about sales forecasting, and we believe that the reason for the sudden upsurge in this topic is that budgeting for next year is, in many companies, about to begin.&nbsp; <br /><br />Key to the whole process, of course, are the revenue projections.&nbsp; Without revenue, after all,&nbsp;the best plans and&nbsp;sharpest budgets in the&nbsp;world cannot possibly be funded.&nbsp;&nbsp;Where revenue is a question, sales becomes the answer, and all eyes turn to the sales team.<br /><br /><em><strong>What will you do for us next year?</strong></em>&nbsp; <br /><br />Sales leaders turn to the forecast - that magical document that predicts the future.&nbsp; They schedule planning sessions with their respective sales teams, and insist that a comprehensive analysis is done, account by account.&nbsp; The&nbsp; opportunity&nbsp;tracking system gets fattened up with ten and twenty-percent deals with close dates in the coming year.&nbsp; The scrutiny continues.&nbsp; The reps who do not have a forecast that puts them at plan for the coming year are met with individually.&nbsp; Account realignment is contemplated.&nbsp; The sales comp plan&nbsp;becomes fair game.&nbsp; At long last, after generally a fairly lengthy cycle of \"push-me-pull-you,\" sales leaders return to the executive conference table with a number.<br /><br />Now, at last, planning for next year can take place.&nbsp; Revenues can be predicted, budget requirements reviewed, and the team can decide what will be approved, and which projects will not make the cut.&nbsp; Eventually, the corporate budget is finalized and circulated.<br /><br />Just one problem with that scenario, of course.&nbsp; <br /><br />Sales forecasts are a myth.&nbsp; <br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">As an aside - in a former life, no kidding, our CEO was heard to say&nbsp;\"sales mythodology\" - and of course we adopted that term, even though he later indignantly insisted that he had actually said \"sales methodology,\" and we had misunderstood him.&nbsp; Sales mythodology makes more sense&nbsp;(even though mythodology isn\'t a&nbsp;real word).</blockquote>Sales forecasts are a combination of educated guesses,&nbsp;outright guesses,&nbsp;\"happy ears,\" response-to-pressure-from-the-boss,&nbsp;fabrication, hope, and wishful thinking.&nbsp;&nbsp; At no time, in the history of the universe, has a sales&nbsp;team ever performed exactly the way its members had forecasted it would.&nbsp; <br /><br />Great sales performance covers up a lot of problems, and so does poor sales performance.&nbsp; <br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">If the numbers are there, the organization doesn\'t care if the performance&nbsp;is aligned with what was forecasted.&nbsp; A sales organization of top performers can be very bad forecasters, and no one pays attention if the numbers meet or exceed the plan.</blockquote><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">If the sales team is performing poorly, corrective action becomes the focus, and those actions are usually focused internally - bad salespeople, bad proposals or quotes,&nbsp;under-trained sales staff, and bad sales processes are the most-found culprits.&nbsp; Seldom does \"bad&nbsp;forecasting\" come up in the blame-storming sessions that inevitably ensue when sales performance is below expectations.</blockquote>It seems then, that we need to either cause salespeople to&nbsp;be better forecasters (and good luck with that), or we need to create a better way to use the future predictions that the sales team provides.<br /><br /><strong>Specifically, the sales forecasting process can be made much more effective by fundamentally changing our expectations of what the output of the forecasting process is.</strong>&nbsp; As I\'ve just described, in almost all organizations, it is a number - a number that can either be right, or, as is almost always the case, wrong.&nbsp; The number provides no insight as to why things are going off track, nor about what should be done to get the organization back on course.<br /><br />When I said earlier that \"we can, and yes, it is all possible,\"&nbsp;I was thinking specifically about managing the sales forecast with a dynamic model - a living, breathing representation of the factors that determine the organization\'s sales performance.&nbsp; Numbers can still come from the forecast, but they are no longer near-mystical values to which justification cannot possibly be traced.&nbsp; Instead, they are the transparent consequences of explicit sets of assumptions about the external world, and&nbsp;responses to specific settings of the levers used by management to run the business.&nbsp; Most importantly, as the world changes in unexpected ways, the model can adapt in kind, and the decisions that most benefit the organizations can be quickly determined and enacted.<br /><br />Sometimes, the data management involved in creating and managing a sales forecast is so overwhelming that we lose sight of the outcomes that we are trying to achieve.&nbsp; While a model is more complex, at least initially, than data dumps from CRM and spreadsheets from the billing system, the benefit is that <em><strong>a model never loses sight of the outcome</strong></em>.<br /><span style=\"color: black;\"></span><br />Velocity in business and in the business climate as a whole can cause a traditional sales forecast to be wrong almost as soon as it is written.&nbsp; Complexities in a global business climate leads us to spend time&nbsp;and&nbsp;money normalizing data from differing systems and/or differing currencies, when, in reality, we could spend far less time and money pulling only data&nbsp;that is relevant to the decisions we are trying to make and the outcomes we are trying to achieve.&nbsp;The sales forecast&nbsp;assumes its proper place in the corporate decision hierarchy, as a component&nbsp;of the Decision Intelligence Framework.<br /><br />Something on which we can <em><strong>confidently</strong></em> hang our corporate hats.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span

Standish Group did a global study of more than 10,000 IT projects&nbsp;in 2010 and found that more than forty percent of projects came in over budget, late, or with less-than-required features, and an astounding <u>twenty-one percent of projects failed completely</u>.<br /><br /><a href=\"http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fUWlvnorkLA/UjO4snW9N3I/AAAAAAAAAB8/8FgHA90QuVY/s1600/Navigation-Titanic-2.jpg\"

Group statistics, for many years, and, in my experience and observation, these statistics cause a lot of&nbsp;hand-wringing, a fair&nbsp;amount of analysis, a lot of opinion-offering, and, in the end, come to the same conclusion, year after year:&nbsp; \"We must do a better job of ensuring that projects are aligned with corporate strategy!\"&nbsp; <br /><br />Insert the definition of insanity here.&nbsp; Even worse, the project failure rates continue to climb.&nbsp; The statistics above total 61%.&nbsp; The CHAOS Report 2011 (from The Standish Group) cites that 66% of projects are challenged or failing.&nbsp; The adoption of an agile approach does seem to indicate a greater ratio of success over a more traditional waterfall approach, but even that isn\'t getting it done.<br /><br />Where is the disconnect?<br /><br />Again based on my experience and observation, the first issue is that the hand-wringing, analysis, and opinions seem to come, the majority, from organizations which sell project management software and/or consulting services.&nbsp; <br /><br />For the record, Quantellia sells neither.&nbsp; Our superpower is creating a mechanism by which organizations can understand the impact that a decision made today will have on tomorrow.&nbsp; That\'s it.&nbsp; We don\'t teach organizations how to do a better job of managing projects.&nbsp; We don\'t have a specialty in resource leveling, or earned value, or task management.&nbsp; Nope.<br /><br />Projects and programs become challenged or fail for many reasons, but the biggest gap that we have seen, having worked in this area with dozens of organizations, is that project management software&nbsp;is&nbsp;built to carry out decisions that have already been made, and portfolio management software is designed to evaluate projects against a set of corporate guidelines as part of the project approval decision process.&nbsp; While an agile approach does, by its nature, lend itself to a continuous reset, if you will, neither it nor any of these software systems do an adequate job of&nbsp;providing an ongoing evaluation&nbsp;of the&nbsp;<strong><em>future,</em></strong> and neither agile nor project management software do an adequate job of continuously tying to corporate objectives.&nbsp; <br /><br />In the real world, programs become silos, and program managers, who are tasked with making sure all of the projects in their programs do NOT become silos, are overwhelmed with resource issues, unexpected constraints, tracking of dependencies and risks, and status reporting.&nbsp; Portfolio managers, who are tasked with ensuring that the programs are on track to achieve the stated business case, are managing milestones and metrics, but are not managing the programs directly.&nbsp; <br /><br />In our experience at Quantellia, the key to project success is the ability to <em><strong>simulate the future</strong></em> and take action based on those results.&nbsp; Portfolio managers, and program managers, need to be able to look around corners and see the future impact of decisions - on other projects, other programs, and on the organization as a whole.&nbsp; <br /><br />\"If I move Bob to Project B, what is the impact on Project A, and does that mean that Project C won\'t be completed?\"&nbsp; Ah, you experienced PMs are probably thinking that resource leveling will do that for you.&nbsp; Here\'s what it won\'t do:&nbsp; resource leveling does not provide a view to all of the programs and projects through the eyes of the corporate key performance indicators.&nbsp; It might not matter that Project C won\'t be completed, and Project B might have ten times the corporate impact that Project A or Project C does.&nbsp; Let\'s not forget, too, that market conditions, or economic conditions, or resource&nbsp;pricing might change, and project management needs to be able to adjust in response, even in the midst of executing a key project.<br /><br />An aside - an agile approach <em>does</em> manage to a vision of the future, but it\'s the short-term future.&nbsp;&nbsp;Because it is structured in sprints, the project team might go in a different direction for the next sprint.&nbsp; In other words, with an agile approach, you don\'t have to manage that far into the future, because you can change it.&nbsp; However,&nbsp;practical reality means that we often need to plan more than one sprint into the future.&nbsp; We need to commit to plans for our shareholders; we need to make personnel acquisition plans, and we need to provide a deeper view into the future than an agile approach will accomplish.<br /><br />Doing the same thing we\'ve always done and expecting different results is clearly not working.&nbsp; It is time to add something else to the mix&nbsp; <strong>It\'s time to shift from management and forecasting into navigation</strong>.&nbsp; The future is changing so rapidly these days that we need a mechanism to create an on-going, iterative vision of the future, to which we can manage in an iterative way.&nbsp; Project management needs to be able to deal with a rapidly changing business climate, forks in the road, and transitions in corporate direction, by simulating the future and continuously evolving project plans to remain in alignment with the entire corporate picture&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;the market landscape.<br /><br />If we do so, perhaps The CHAOS Report for 2015 will finally show that project success is on the upturn.<br /><br /><br />*You might enjoy

alluded to the \"Why Chain\" in prior posts, and some of the conversations we\'ve had lately lead us to talk about it specifically.&nbsp; We are too accustomed to sitting in executive team meetings, hearing someone say \"we need to do this,\" and then launching into a conversation about how to get that done.&nbsp; While we might talk about everyone being in the boat, rowing in the same direction, the truth is that most executive teams are, yes, all in the boat, but each member is wielding his or her own oar, in his or her own way, and it\'s not unusual for one team member to get accidentally whacked over the head with someone else\'s oar in the process.<br /><br />Following the Why Chain leads teams to a point where the oars are all being wielded correctly, and the boat is&nbsp;moving faster and better than ever before. <br /><br />Let\'s look at a couple of examples.&nbsp; These might seem a little simplistic, but they will make the point.<br /><br />Picture this:&nbsp; The team is gathered in the conference room for the weekly (monthly?) executive team meeting, and...<br /><ul><li>The global head of customer service says \"We are going to need to double the size of our call center.&nbsp; We cannot keep up with the call volume, and we need more people.\"&nbsp;</li><li>The VP of Sales&nbsp;offers \"We need to buy a new forecasting system and standardize on it worldwide.&nbsp; We have too many different systems, and the information is a mess.\"</li><li>The CIO proclaims, \"I am adding three new people to the data management team to do data analysis.&nbsp; We have a lot of data.\"</li></ul><div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DVKKpxkx7IM/Uinj1mr5dnI/AAAAAAAAABk/mvy4DlYgxo0/s1600/WhyChain.png\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"123\" src=\"http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-DVKKpxkx7IM/Uinj1mr5dnI/AAAAAAAAABk/mvy4DlYgxo0/s320/WhyChain.png\" width=\"320\" /></a></div><br /><br />Each one of these people is viewing the strategic direction of the company through their own unique lens, and, more importantly, selecting a problem remediation path that is within their span of control.&nbsp; Too frequently, the rest of the team falls in line - \"Oh, if volume is up, of course you need more people\" - or, worse, becomes accusatory - \"You need&nbsp;a better&nbsp;customer service training program.\"&nbsp; We get lost in the weeds of solving&nbsp;a specific problem without fully understanding why a) the problem exists and b) why it is important to solve it.<br /><br />Here\'s where the Why Chain comes in.<br /><br />The Why Chain will ALWAYS land at one of the key corporate objectives.&nbsp; Some chains will have many links, and some will have only a couple.&nbsp; Let\'s have a Why Chain discussion using one of the examples above:<br /><ul><li>We need a new forecasting system.&nbsp; <em>Why?</em></li><li>We have too many different systems, and I can\'t get a good handle on the information.&nbsp; <em>Why is that important?</em></li><li>We need to know what our sales forecast is for the upcoming months.&nbsp; <em>Why?</em></li><li>So we know what to expect, of course.&nbsp; <em>Why do we need to know that?</em></li><li>We want to know if we\'ll be on target to achieve our revenue plan.&nbsp; <em>Why is that important?</em></li><li>So we can get to our profitability target.</li></ul>Aha!&nbsp; The profitability target is the key corporate objective we are trying to achieve here.&nbsp; But... what if a new forecasting system isn\'t really going to get us there?&nbsp; <br /><br />When we understand the destination, we now have the option of considering a variety of paths to get us there, and we can choose the path that will have the highest probable rate of return.&nbsp; <em><strong>You see, here\'s the magic of the Why Chain:</strong></em>&nbsp; the first link and the last link must make a logical statement that allows us to take action.&nbsp; If they don\'t link logically, there is&nbsp;more work to do.&nbsp; Here\'s the linkage from the discussion above:<br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">We need a new forecasting system so we can meet our profitability&nbsp;target.&nbsp;</blockquote>Does this make sense?&nbsp; Will a new forecasting system enable us to meet our profitability goals?&nbsp;&nbsp;In most organizations, that answer is no.&nbsp; Even with a sophisticated,&nbsp;consolidated system that&nbsp;forecasts both sales and profit-per-proposal, the answer will still be no.&nbsp; What if the forecast is primarily for&nbsp;a product that has a very thin profit margin, rather than for our most profitable product?&nbsp; What if our dollar-per-customer ratio is down, so we need to make more sales to more customers to make the same dollars?&nbsp; What if our cost-per-sale remains constant while we are trying to make more sales to make the same dollars?&nbsp; What is our customer acquisition cost?&nbsp; What if we have a product recall?&nbsp; <em>What if the sales don\'t close?</em><br /><br /><em><strong>What are the decisions we need to make as an organization to achieve our profitability goals, our corporate objective?</strong></em><br /><br /><u>Start there</u>.<br /><br />You might buy a new forecasting system, or you might not, but&nbsp;you\'ll know exactly why.&nbsp;You might build a new distribution center, or streamline the supply chain, or create better online documentation, or find a lower-cost supplier of a key component.&nbsp; <br /><br />When you free yourself from the lens of one, and work from the decision down, you open a panorama of possible decisions.<br /><blockquote

/><em><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Data, by its nature, cannot define its own relevance to a specific situation.</span></em>&nbsp; <br /><br />Stated another way:&nbsp; <em>Without context, data is meaningless</em>.<br /><ul><li>The temperature will be 98 degrees today.&nbsp; </li><li>The website got six million page hits today.&nbsp; </li><li>Widget-A sold twenty percent more than Widget-B last month.</li><li>The&nbsp;sales forecast&nbsp;shows that&nbsp;this year will be 18% over last year.</li></ul>So what?&nbsp; <br /><br />These are merely data points, and unless we have context in

website traffic?</li><li>On which product line should we focus marketing attention?</li><li>Do we build a new distribution center?</li></ul>Let\'s look at that first one in more detail with a fun - and true - example.<br /><br />I have a passion for raspberry slices, and not just any raspberry slices - the ones from <a href=\"http://www.nuts.com/\">www.nuts.com</a> are simply the best raspberry slices I have ever found.&nbsp; (Note that I am not getting paid to endorse them, although perhaps I should as I certainly talk about them enough!)&nbsp; <br /><br /><div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EPkzTW5Aaqs/UhyvxQ9Xc1I/AAAAAAAAABQ/t4Qf6M5DpgI/s1600/Raspberry+slices.PNG\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img border=\"0\" height=\"166\" src=\"http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EPkzTW5Aaqs/UhyvxQ9Xc1I/AAAAAAAAABQ/t4Qf6M5DpgI/s320/Raspberry+slices.PNG\" width=\"320\" /></a></div><br /><br />Recently, I tried to place an order for those delicious raspberry slices.&nbsp; When I got to the end of the ordering process, a message appeared that went something like this:&nbsp; \"It appears you are ordering a product that might melt in high temperatures.&nbsp; Would you like to have it shipped with next day delivery?&nbsp; Would you like our heat-resistant packaging?\"<br /><br />I was impressed, and I was filled with respect for an organization that had realized that it would rather take the chance of me cancelling my order than have an unhappy customer receiving a package of melted raspberry goo.<br /><br />Here\'s the real point, though:<br /><br />Though I do not know, I suspect that there was a time when these very nice people (and they are)&nbsp;simply shipped raspberry slices and other melt-able treats, without regard for the temperature, and that doing so resulted in unhappy customers, and ultimately, write-offs in the form of credits to those unhappy customers, all accompanied by inventory reduction.&nbsp; In other words, they shipped product but, in the end,&nbsp;got no money for it.&nbsp; Not a sustainable business model, I\'m sure you agree.<br /><br />So, as I imagine it, several people gathered around a table to talk about \"how do we reduce our losses in hot weather?\"&nbsp; The data point \"the temperature will be 98 degrees today\" became a critical piece of data to the decision-making process, and, at some point, they determined that they getting fewer orders for melt-able goods during hot weather&nbsp;would be preferable to shipping melt-able goods, writing off the sale, and perhaps losing the customer.&nbsp; <br /><br /><em>Data only becomes relevant in the context of a decision</em>.<br /><br />I did not place my

Blindness is a malady that occurs when organizations get so overwhelmed with data that they lose sight of the decisions that run, grow, and transform&nbsp;the business.&nbsp;&nbsp;Based on our research,&nbsp;more than seventy percent of organizations&nbsp;may suffer from&nbsp;it.&nbsp; There is, however a cure.<br /><br /><u>Step One</u>:&nbsp; Free yourself from&nbsp;data dependency.<br /><br />I know what you\'re thinking.&nbsp;&nbsp;\"Wait a second... how can we possibly do that?&nbsp; We need our data.&nbsp; We must hold it and mold it and perfect it and transform it... (and name it&nbsp;George?).&nbsp; Data is the lifeblood of our company.&nbsp; A decision is&nbsp;only as good as the data that supports it.\"<br /><br />Data is necessary; don\'t get me wrong.&nbsp; However, data is not <u>everything</u>, and <u>all</u> data is not necessary to make great decisions.<br /><br /><u>Step Two</u>:&nbsp; Use decision models to support strategic decision-making.<br /><br />We live in a storm of data; it is flying everywhere, coming from&nbsp;everywhere, living in too many systems, with too many people, in too many domains.&nbsp; If you were in the center of an <u>actual</u> storm, what would you do?&nbsp; <br /><br />Close your eyes and cover your head, right?&nbsp; <br /><br />Having a model standing behind every strategic decision is a systematic way to close your eyes and cover your head - and re-center yourself in the decision.&nbsp; Being able to refer to the model, monitor outcomes, and adjust on the fly is the way to protect yourself from the storm.&nbsp; Leverage the useful bits of data, but don\'t get overwhelmed with all of the inputs, because most of them are irrelevant anyway.<br /><br />Let\'s take that storm analogy one step further, just for fun.<br /><br />We don\'t run to the basement when a tornado warning is issued three counties away.&nbsp; The existence of the tornado warning is data, but it is not yet relevant to us.&nbsp; However, in a data-centric world, the presence of a tornado warning would have us running to the basement, regardless of the proximity of the warning zone.&nbsp; <u>That\'s because data, by its nature, cannot define its own relevance to the specific situation</u>.&nbsp; <br /><br />When the TV station breaks into programming and says \"a tornado warning has been issued,\" we run a decision model in our heads.&nbsp; The decision:&nbsp; \"Should I go to the basement?\"&nbsp;&nbsp;The externals:&nbsp; \"The tornado warning is three counties away.&nbsp; Tornados rarely hit this area.&nbsp; The storm is moving at 40 mph.&nbsp; The storm track is northeast.\"&nbsp; <br /><br />In running this decision model in our heads, we consider a variety of factors, input our&nbsp;own expertise,&nbsp;and make a decision about whether or not to go to the basement.&nbsp; Blinded only by data, we would be in the basement already, and we would stay there until the storm has passed out of our area.<br /><br />With a decision model, we can say \"I made the decision to go to the basement because...\" and stay centered in the decision.&nbsp; This allows us to make decision adjustments as we get more data, more input, and more external information, all based on our human expertise.<br /><br />Data Blindness is a curable condition.&nbsp; In business, it takes a documented, agile, and iterative&nbsp;process that can be validated on an on-going basis, and a freedom from relying only on data as the source for strategic decisions.<br /><br /><div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear:

Clear shared an excellent&nbsp;article on Quora the other day, \"<a href=\"http://jamesclear.quora.com/Successful-People-Start-Before-They-Feel-Ready?ref=fb\" target=\"_blank\">Successful People Start Before They Feel&nbsp;Ready</a>.\"&nbsp; (Interesting article; well worth the two minute read.)&nbsp; When I finished it, I happened to notice that he has a number of other articles, in a variety of subjects, including Health and Wellness.&nbsp; That\'s when I found this one:&nbsp; <span class=\"inline_editor_value\"><a href=\"http://jamesclear.quora.com/Simple-and-Effortless-Ways-to-Lose-Weight-and-Eat-Healthy\" target=\"_blank\">Simple and Effortless Ways to Lose Weight and Eat Healthy</a>, and I found some very sensible advice there.&nbsp; The last two sentences, in particular, resonated with me - though perhaps not for the reasons you think.</span><br /><div><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">\"When it comes to diets and nutrition, I think you are better off moving in the right direction rather than searching for the perfect direction.<br /><br />Less effort, better food, and more time for what matters.\"</blockquote>We\'ve all known people who have joined weight loss programs, bought&nbsp;a kitchen scale and health supplements and walking shoes, cleared out the fridge, and/or found a workout buddy.&nbsp; The pattern I\'ve observed is this - nearly every one of these people does not make a single change to their lifestyle until they receive their first UPS package, set up the scale, started the supplements, or what-have-you.&nbsp; They continue to seek the perfect direction and don\'t make a move toward their end goal until everything is in place.&nbsp; (Yes, I\'ve been guilty of that, too.)<br /><br />The reason this resonated with me is this:&nbsp; as I have embedded myself in Decision Intelligence, I\'ve realized that&nbsp;\"the data must be perfect before you can use it to make a strategic decision\" has become over-socialized.&nbsp; You\'ve heard the phrase \"A decision is only as good as the data that supports it.\"&nbsp; This phrase has become the primary justification for the millions of dollars spent every year in projects that make data perfect.&nbsp; <br /><br />Much like a plan for healthy living, data will never be perfect.&nbsp; Decisions that await perfect data, and decisions that depend only on data, are more likely to fail than decisions that just start moving in&nbsp;the right direction: <br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">Shop the outside of the store = pick off the healthy bits of information that you need in order to make a decision right now.&nbsp; Produce department?&nbsp; Data.&nbsp; Meat department?&nbsp; Human expertise.&nbsp; Dairy cases?&nbsp; External factors.&nbsp; Get the ingredients you need and start a healthier decision-making lifestyle.</blockquote>With an agile, iterative decision-making methodology in place, you can start moving in the right direction, make adjustments based on performance and changes in external factors, and continue the Decision Intelligence journey without getting held up by the quest for perfect data.<br /><br />Less effort, better decisions, and more time (and money) for what matters.<br /><br />Get your running shoes on!<br

you agree?&nbsp; It\'s a logical statement, after all, and it makes total sense, doesn\'t it?&nbsp;&nbsp;Achieving consensus&nbsp;on that point is not very hard.&nbsp; What <u>is</u> hard is gaining agreement on \"what is a strategic outcome?\"&nbsp; <br /><br /><strong><em>Strategic outcomes should align, 100%, with at least one of the corporate key performance indicators (KPIs).</em></strong>&nbsp; <br /><br />Assume for a moment that every organization of size has three to five key performance indicators that govern the entire business.&nbsp;&nbsp;Each department head might have a different set of KPIs, and these should&nbsp;support the corporate KPIs.<br /><br />An appropriately crafted,&nbsp;critical, strategic decision within an organization must follow \"the why chain\" and end up impacting one of the corporate KPIs.&nbsp; <u>That</u> is the outcome on which an effective decision model is based.<br /><br />Here\'s another point - and it is a critical one.&nbsp; Focusing on the proxy constrains the outcome, whereas focusing on the outcome frees up the thinking process around the path to achieve it.&nbsp; More on that later.<br /><br />So what is a proxy?&nbsp; <br /><br />A&nbsp;proxy is a substitute; in a decision intelligence environment, a proxy&nbsp;could be an interim goal, a milestone,&nbsp;or an achievement.&nbsp; <strong>Departmental KPIs are proxies</strong>, and we confuse them with true outcomes at our peril.&nbsp; You <em><strong>think</strong></em> it is what you are trying to achieve, but it\'s really a shadow (and sometimes a very bad shadow) of what you are trying to achieve.&nbsp; <br /><br />Let\'s look at a real-life example.&nbsp; <br /><br />A large retail organization, with more than 6,000&nbsp;stores and kiosk locations combined, had made the decision to move to VoIP.&nbsp; The organization struck a contract with a consulting firm to do the conversion for them.&nbsp; The contract referenced, and even provided incentives, for the number of locations (and a kiosk was counted as a location) converted.&nbsp; The proxy, in this case, was \"number of locations converted,\" which was the goal of the group running the project, and what everyone thought the desired outcome should be.&nbsp; Accordingly, the contractor started by converting kiosks and small stores, so that they could stay ahead of the project goal (and earn the incentives).<br /><br />However, that was the wrong measure.&nbsp; You see, 60% (or so) of the organization\'s telecommunication infrastructure costs were spent between the ten largest stores, the corporate headquarters, and the warehouse / manufacturing plant.&nbsp; <br /><br />You see it now, don\'t you?&nbsp; The corporate KPI, \"Operating Cost Reduction\" should have been the governing force over this project.&nbsp; The decision model should have started with \"How do we have the most impact on operating costs,\" not \"How do we convert the most locations.\"&nbsp;The departmental KPI needed re-examination and re-wording as well, from \"Number of Sites Converted\" to \"Amount of Cost Savings Realized.\"<br /><br />Now, there\'s an old saying, \"don\'t should on yourself, and don\'t should on anyone else.\"&nbsp; When you can impact a \"should,\"&nbsp;I&nbsp;think it is a perfectly acceptable word.&nbsp; (I hope you agree.)&nbsp; In this particular case, we were able to impact the \"should,\" by providing a decision model that allowed the project to reset to align to the corrected outcome, taking into account the appropriate levers and assumptions.<br /><br />In the past two weeks alone, I have heard people articulate a massive strategic decision that needs to be made in terms of proxies, not outcomes.<br /><ol><li><strong>\"How do we get a new product launched faster?\"</strong>&nbsp; Follow the \"why chain\" with me.&nbsp; \"Why is that important?\" we asked.&nbsp; \"It takes too long too launch a new product,\" was the response,&nbsp;delivered in a \"that\'s a dumb question\" tone of voice.&nbsp; (We agree, the answer seems rather obvious, but that\'s not the point.)&nbsp;&nbsp;\"Why are you developing new products, and why does it matter how quickly they get launched?\"&nbsp; \"We need to stay ahead of our competition.\"&nbsp; Ah, now we\'re getting somewhere.&nbsp; \"Why is that&nbsp;important?\"&nbsp; (I\'ll shorten the conversation now and take you right to the end.)&nbsp; \"So we can attract more customers and return more profit to the bottom line.\"&nbsp; AH HA!&nbsp; So, let\'s drive a decision model around that:&nbsp; \"How do we choose which new products to&nbsp;fast-track&nbsp;so we can get more customers and more profit?\"&nbsp; If we take it a step further, and de-couple the proxy from the outcome, the decision model could focus on \"How do we get more customers and more profit?\"&nbsp; New product launches might be the right area in which to focus, but other possibilities will come to light in a well-crafted decision model framework.</li><li><strong>\"How do we improve customer satisfaction?\"</strong>&nbsp; The answer to that question is easy.&nbsp; Give everyone free stuff.&nbsp; When a customer calls, offer them everything for free, and don\'t take no for an answer.&nbsp; No decision model required. and customer satisfaction will go through the roof!&nbsp; Perhaps I\'m being a bit facetious here, so let me tie it back to the original point.&nbsp; Improving customer satisfaction is a proxy.&nbsp; It is a departmental KPI.&nbsp; It is not an outcome for a strategic decision.&nbsp; We want to improve customer satisfaction so that we can impact customer retention, create profitable repeat buyers, and ultimately, increase profit.&nbsp; The decision model is then driven around&nbsp;\"How do&nbsp;we improve customer satisfaction in a way that aligns with the corporate cost and revenue expectations.\"&nbsp; (Even \"customer retention\" is a proxy, by the way.&nbsp; If they aren\'t profitable customers, we don\'t need to retain them.)&nbsp; Tie it back to the \"freedom of thinking\" idea mentioned above, and the organization may realize that the most impact a customer-related decision will have on cost and revenue expectations will come from an area <u>other</u> than customer satisfaction (heresy, I know).&nbsp; </li></ol>Confusing proxies with outcomes can lead an organization down a path that may not be in the actual best interests of the company, as you can see.<br /><br />Do you have examples of where this has occurred?&nbsp; We\'d love to hear

class=\"tr_bq\"><div>Study the past, if you would divine the future.&nbsp;&nbsp;- Confucius</div></blockquote>As I read this quote&nbsp;earlier, I was struck by the notion that this is the root of&nbsp;predictive analytics, business intelligence, and business scorecards - virtually anything that can be used by business to gain understanding that will allow effective decisions to be made today about operating the business tomorrow.&nbsp; It is, by and large, good advice.&nbsp; However, large is the operative word in that comment.&nbsp; <br /><br />I offer you the following, very respectful, modification to the quote above:<br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><em><strong>Study the relevant past,&nbsp;if you would divine the future.&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></em></blockquote>The biggest issue facing business today is the sheer amount of data that is being collected, and the legions of people who&nbsp;believe that every kilobyte of that data has value.<br /><br />That is true with operational data, but not true with \"decision data.\"<br /><br />Operational data gives business an understanding of the past - what happened and when it happened - <em>lagging indicators</em>.&nbsp; Analysis of that data should be able to tell why it happened, so that successes can be repeated - <em>leading indicators</em>.&nbsp; Operational data is critical to running a business on a day-to-day basis, and thus data collected has value.<br /><blockquote class=\"tr_bq\">The business set a record high in sales for last month.&nbsp; The lagging indicator \"sales volume\" is a spike on the year-to-date chart.&nbsp; Why did sales spike?&nbsp; Upon examination, we see that the sales team had a record number of customer calls during the prior month.&nbsp; The leading indicator \"number of customer calls\" in Month A would then be an effective predictor of increased sales in Month B.&nbsp;&nbsp;</blockquote>Operational knowledge and operational data can yield effective operational decisions:&nbsp; The sales manager can now manage the leading indicator and have a reasonable expectation that increased sales will follow.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />However, that same data set is insufficient for making long-term decisions, and, in some cases, the data can lead a business down the wrong path.&nbsp; The \"decision data\" is not there.<br /><br />What does that mean?&nbsp; <br /><br />Let\'s extrapolate the earlier example:&nbsp; Why was the sales team able to make an increased number of calls during Month A?&nbsp; Turns out, the business participated in its&nbsp;industry\'s largest&nbsp;trade show early in Month A, and the sales team was kept busy following up with everyone who visited their booth.&nbsp; Coincidentally, at the same time the trade show was going on, something fantastic happened over which the company had no control (think movie star carrying a specific purse at a red carpet event).&nbsp; Public opinion was up, the trade show happened at the right time, and many orders were placed as a result.&nbsp; <br /><br />Is all of&nbsp;that information contained within the data being collected about sales?&nbsp;&nbsp;Most likely not.<br /><br />When making a long-term decision about the make-up of the sales team, it would be too easy to decide that adding more people who would therefore make more calls will, in turn, lead to increased sales.&nbsp; The collected data supports that decision.&nbsp; However, in this example, that decision would be a bad decision&nbsp;that will absorb overhead expense with potentially no compensatory revenue payback.<br /><br />The past is data.&nbsp; The <em>relevant</em> past is <u>some</u> of the data, plus external factors, plus human knowledge, plus action.&nbsp; Making effective decisions about the future requires a view of the <em>relevant</em> past, an understanding of the possible future, a set of assumptions based on human experience, and the ability to measure outcomes against all of&nbsp;the considered factors.<br /><br />How much more effective would long term decisions be if they were modeled with all of those factors in mind?<br /><br /><br /><div

shops befuddle me; I\'ll admit it.&nbsp; Too many choices, terms I don\'t fully understand, and people who know, without question, exactly what combination of choices works for them.&nbsp; It puzzles me.<br /><br />This morning, a friend tweeted, \"<span class=\"userContent\">Guy at SBUX just ordered venti no-foam chai latte with six shots. Because he can.\"&nbsp; That set my mind reeling.&nbsp; How did that guy land on the decision to configure his morning beverage in just that way?&nbsp; </span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">The answer I came to?&nbsp; It depends.&nbsp; It depends on whether the fellow is subconsciously&nbsp;wired for data, or wired for decisions.&nbsp; Let\'s explore this with two different personas - Data Guy and Decision Guy, and let\'s assume they have the same goal - to purchase a palette-pleasing pick-me-up morning beverage.&nbsp; Let\'s further assume that coffee-shop lingo is as foreign to them as it is to me.</span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">This is going to sound like the beginning of a really great joke.</span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">Data Guy and Decision Guy walk into a coffee shop for the first time.&nbsp; They both like coffee, and they see a stunning array of&nbsp; coffee and non-coffee choices on the menu.&nbsp; They also hear a stunning array of choices in the orders that others are making - no-foam, soy milk, skinny, double shot, non-fat, this flavor or that flavor added.&nbsp; They look at the side counter and sees stuff to sprinkle on top, and different dairy and non-dairy choices to add.&nbsp; The line is moving quickly, and the orders are being given and filled at a pretty rapid pace.&nbsp; There\'s no time to stop progress for a lengthy educational session with the barista. </span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">Now, their paths diverge, and the future course of their coffee shop visits will be decided.</span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">Both have read the entire menu, and both have seen and heard the exact same activities during their time there.&nbsp; What do they order?</span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">Data Guy has been on his smartphone the entire time they\'ve been in line, and has quickly viewed a variety of topics:&nbsp; chai, cappuccino, espresso, and latte are all search terms he has plugged in.&nbsp; He is gathering external data in order to make an informed decision when he places his order.&nbsp; He has also looked up calorie counts, and he has bookmarked a blog site he found about coffee shops.&nbsp; Data Guy is determined to get the most perfect beverage he can, based on data and observation.&nbsp; He arrives at the counter and places his order based on his findings:&nbsp; \"I\'ll have the chai latte with no foam and a double shot.\"</span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">Decision Guy arrives at the counter having done none of that.&nbsp; He casually but quickly tells the barista \"First time here.&nbsp; What\'s your best seller?\"&nbsp; She recommends a mocha cappuccino.&nbsp; He says \"That will be fine.&nbsp; Can you cut the calories for me?\"&nbsp; She indicates she can make it with low-fat milk and no whipped cream, and he agrees.&nbsp; Order placed.&nbsp; He asks, \"Now, what do I call this so I can order it next time?\" and she tells him what he needs to know:&nbsp; \"Skinny mocha cappuccino.\"</span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">The story doesn\'t end there, because the real point is what happens on their next visit to the coffee shop, and every visit after that.</span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">Data Guy and Decision Guy walk into a coffee shop for the second time.&nbsp; Decision Guy gets to the counter and orders a skinny mocha cappuccino.&nbsp; Data Guy, on the other hand, is still trying to configure the perfect drink.&nbsp; He has spent time talking to colleagues about their coffee-shop choices.&nbsp; He has done a little more research online.&nbsp; He has thoroughly read that blog he bookmarked earlier.&nbsp; He has more data, and will now make a different decision.</span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">Let\'s pause here for a moment.</span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">Did the special chai latte he ordered last time taste good?&nbsp; Yes, it did.&nbsp; Did it give him whatever pick-me-up he sought in a morning beverage?&nbsp; Yes, it did.&nbsp; It satisfied the stated objectives.&nbsp; Why would Data Guy not just order the same thing again, like Decision Guy did?</span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">Data Guy is trying to configure the perfect morning beverage for his tastes and needs.&nbsp; He has continued to invest brain cycles and time into gathering more data to make his decision at the coffee shop even more exact.&nbsp; Data Guy will continue tweaking his order until he gets to a point where he is satisfied that he has made an excellent decision.&nbsp; Eventually he will land on a recipe that works for him, and only then will he&nbsp;order that specific drink every time he goes into the coffee shop.&nbsp; </span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">Decision Guy, on the other hand, found something that works for him with minimal data input.&nbsp; His beverage choice achieves the stated objectives - a palette-pleasing pick-me-up morning beverage.&nbsp; His decision made, he has taken appropriate action and moved on.&nbsp; </span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">For Data Guy, it\'s all about the data.&nbsp; Gather information, take some action, gather more data, seek input, take tentative action, gather more data, review the action, review the data, make a final decision, then take action.&nbsp;&nbsp;Faced with an imperfect decision,&nbsp;Data Guy will gather more and more data, thinking that more data will create a better decision.&nbsp;&nbsp;In fact, Data Guy will, during his lengthy discovery phase,&nbsp;likely drink at least a few beverages that don\'t achieve the stated objectives&nbsp;&nbsp;- meaning that some of those tentative actions will actually prove to be bad decisions.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">For Decision Guy, it\'s all about the decision.&nbsp; Gather enough information to make a reasonable decision that achieves the objectives, take action.&nbsp; Decision Guy will monitor the results of his action (does mocha cappuccino make his stomach hurt?), and re-think the decision only if indicated by the results achieved.&nbsp; Decision Guy has shifted his data-gathering from pre-decision to post-decision.&nbsp; </span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">Decision Guy proves it - you can make effective decisions with imperfect or missing data.&nbsp; Make the decision, monitor the results over time, and adjust if necessary.&nbsp; While it could be <u>more</u> effective, it most certainly will be <u>as</u> effective as mining data over time before making a decision, and it is a much faster process that gets you to a state of monitoring results and measuring impact.&nbsp; </span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\">Which guy do you want to be?</span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><br /><span class=\"userContent\"></span><span class=\"userContent\"></span><span class=\"userContent\"></span><span

We plan to release the final product in October, and then follow it in December with a jam-packed WordPress 3.8 release, which is already in development. Some of the best stuff in WordPress 3.7 is subtle &#8212; by design! So let&#8217;s walk through what we&#8217;d love for you to test, just in time for the weekend.</p>\n<p><strong>Automatic, background updates.</strong> 3.7 Beta 1 will keep itself updated. That&#8217;s right &#8212; you&#8217;ll be updated each night to the newest development build, and eventually to Beta 2. We&#8217;re working to provide as many installs as possible with fast updates to security releases of WordPress &#8212; and you can help us test by just installing Beta 1 on your server and seeing how it works!</p>\n<p>When you go to <strong>Dashboard → Updates</strong>, you&#8217;ll see a note letting you know whether your install is working for automatic updates. There are a few situations where WordPress can&#8217;t reliably and securely update itself. But if it can, you&#8217;ll get an email (sent to the &#8216;Admin Email&#8217; on the General Settings page) after each update letting you know what worked and what didn&#8217;t. If it worked, great! If something failed, the email will suggest you make a post in the support forums or create a bug report.</p>\n<p>Here are some other things you should test out:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you&#8217;re running <strong>WordPress in another language</strong>, we&#8217;ll automatically download any available translations for official WordPress importers and the default themes. (More to come here.)</li>\n<li>Our <strong>password meter</strong> got a whole lot better, thanks to Dropbox&#8217;s <a href=\"https://tech.dropbox.com/2012/04/zxcvbn-realistic-password-strength-estimation/\">zxcvbn</a> library. Again, subtle but effective. Strong passwords are very important!</li>\n<li><strong>Search results</strong> are now <a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/25632\">ordered by relevance</a>, rather than just by date. When your keywords match post titles and not just content, they&#8217;ll be pushed to the top.</li>\n<li>Developers should check out the new <strong>advanced date queries</strong> in <code>WP_Query</code>. (<a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/18694\">#18694</a>)</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>This software is still in development</strong>, so we don&#8217;t recommend you run it on a production site. I&#8217;d suggest setting up a test site just to play with the new version. To test WordPress 3.7, try the <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/\">WordPress Beta Tester</a> plugin (you&#8217;ll want &#8220;bleeding edge nightlies&#8221;).

Each author now has their own autosave stream, which stores things locally as well as on the server (so much harder to lose something) and there&#8217;s an interface for taking over editing of a post, as demonstrated beautifully by our bearded buddies in the video above.</li>\n<li><strong>Built-in HTML5 media player</strong> for native audio and video embeds with no reliance on external services.</li>\n<li>The <strong>Menu Editor</strong> is now much easier to understand and use.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Developer features</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A new audio/video API gives you access to metadata like ID3 tags.</li>\n<li>You can now choose HTML5 markup for things like comment and search forms, and comment lists.</li>\n<li>Better filters for how revisions work, so you can store a different amount of history for different post types.</li>\n<li>Tons more <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Version_3.6\">listed on the Codex</a>, and of course you can always <a href=\"http://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=closed&amp;group=resolution&amp;milestone=3.6\">browse the over 700 closed tickets</a>.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>The Band</h3>\n<p>This release was led by <a href=\"http://markjaquith.com/\">Mark Jaquith</a> and <a href=\"http://geekreprieve.com/\">Aaron Campbell</a>, and included contributions from the following fine folks.

From a discussion between myself and <a href=\"http://mikelittle.org/\">Mike Little</a> about <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2003/01/the-blogging-software-dilemma/\">forking our favorite blogging software</a>, to powering 18% of the web. It&#8217;s been a crazy, exciting, journey, and one that won&#8217;t stop any time soon.</p>\n<p>At ten years, it&#8217;s fun to reflect on our beginnings. We launched WordPress on 27th May 2003, but that wasn&#8217;t inception. Go back far enough, and you can <a href=\"http://zengun.org/weblog/archives/2001/06/post1958/\">read a post by Michel Valdrighi</a> who, frustrated by the self-hosted blogging platforms available, decided to write his own software; &#8220;b2, a PHP+MySQL alternative to Blogger and GreyMatter.&#8221; b2 was easy to install, easy to configure, and easy for developers to extend. Of all the blogging platforms out there, <a href=\"http://cafelog.com\">b2</a> was the right one for me: I could write my content and get it on the web quickly and painlessly.</p>\n<p>Sometimes, however, life gets in the way. In 2002, Michel stopped maintaining b2. Over time, security flaws became apparent and updates were needed and, while the b2 community could write patches and fixes, no one was driving the software forward. We were lucky that Michel decided to release b2 under the GPL; the software may have been abandoned, but we weren&#8217;t without options. A fork was always a possibility. That was where it stood in January 2003, when <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2003/01/the-blogging-software-dilemma/\">I posted about forking b2</a> and <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2003/01/the-blogging-software-dilemma/#comment-445\">Mike responded</a>. The rest, as they say, is history.</p>\n<p>From the very beginning to the present day, I&#8217;ve been impressed by the thought, care, and dedication that WordPress&#8217; developers have demonstrated. Each one has brought his or her unique perspective, each individual has strengthened the whole. It would be impossible to thank each of them here individually, but their achievements speak for themselves. In WordPress 1.2 the new Plugin API made it easy for developers to extend WordPress. In the same release <code>gettext()</code> internationalization opened WordPress up to every language (hat tip: <a href=\"http://ryan.boren.me/\">Ryan Boren</a> for spending hours wrapping strings with gettext). In WordPress 1.5 our Theme system made it possible for WordPress users to quickly change their site&#8217;s design: there was huge resistance to the theme system from the wider community at the time, but can you imagine WordPress without it? Versions 2.7, 2.8, and 2.9 saw improvements that let users install and update their plugins and themes with one click. WordPress has seen a redesign by <a href=\"http://v2.happycog.com/create/wordpress/?p=design/wordpress/\">happycog</a> (2.3) and gone under extensive user testing and redesign (<a href=\"http://www.slideshare.net/edanzico/riding-the-crazyhorse-future-generation-wordpress-presentation\">Crazyhorse</a>, Liz Danzico and Jen Mylo, WordPress 2.5). In WordPress 3.0 we merged WordPress MU with WordPress &#8212; a huge job but 100% worth it. And in WordPress 3.5 we revamped the media uploader to make it easier for people to get their images, video, and media online.</p>\n<p>In sticking to our commitment to user experience, we&#8217;ve done a few things that have made us unpopular. The <a href=\"http://tech.gaeatimes.com/index.php/archive/wordpress-wysiwyg-editor-is-a-disaster/\">WYSIWYG editor</a> was hated by many, especially those who felt that if you have a blog you should know HTML. Some developers hated that we stuck with our code, refusing to rewrite, but it&#8217;s always been the users that matter: better a developer lose sleep than a site break for a user. Our code isn&#8217;t always beautiful, after all, when WordPress was created most of us were still learning PHP, but we try to make a flawless experience for users.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not all about developers. WordPress&#8217; strength lies in the diversity of its community. From the start, we wanted a low barrier to entry and we came up with our &#8220;famous 5 minute install&#8221;. This brought on board users from varied technical background: people who didn&#8217;t write code wanted to help make WordPress better. If you couldn&#8217;t write code, it didn&#8217;t matter: you could answer a question in the support forums, write documentation, translate WordPress, or build your friends and family a WordPress website. There is <a href=\"https://make.wordpress.org/\">space in the community</a> for anyone with a passion for WordPress.</p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been wonderful to see all of the people who have used WordPress to build their home on the internet. Early on <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/news/2004/04/switchers/\">we got excited</a> by <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/news/2004/04/more-switchers/\">switchers</a>. From a community of tinkerers we grew, as writers such as <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2004/05/om-malik/\">Om Malik</a>, <a href=\"http://dougal.gunters.org/blog/2004/05/15/mark-pilgrim-switches/\">Mark Pilgrim</a>, and <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2004/07/mollycom-switches/\">Molly Holzschlag</a> made the switch to WordPress. Our commitment to effortless publishing quickly paid off and has continued to do so: <strong>the WordPress 1.2 release saw 822 downloads per day, our latest release, WordPress 3.5, has seen 145,692 per day.</strong></p>\n<p>I&#8217;m continually amazed by what people have built with WordPress. I&#8217;ve seen <a href=\"http://justintimberlake.com/main/\">musicians</a> and <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2013/01/neil-leifer-on-wordpress/\">photographers</a>, magazines such as <a href=\"http://life.time.com/\">Life</a>, <a href=\"http://boingboing.net/\">BoingBoing</a>, and the <a href=\"http://observer.com/\">New York Observer</a>, <a href=\"http://www.compliance.gov/\">government websites</a>, a <a href=\"http://josephscott.org/archives/2011/05/pressfs-a-wordpress-filesystem/\">filesystem</a>, <a href=\"http://www.ymcanyc.org/association/pages/y-mvp\"> mobile applications</a>, and even <a href=\"http://www.viper007bond.com/2010/06/12/so-apparently-wordpress-can-guide-missiles/\">seen WordPress guide missiles</a>.</p>\n<p>As the web evolves, WordPress evolves. Factors outside of our control will always influence WordPress&#8217; development: today it&#8217;s mobile devices and retina display, tomorrow it could be Google Glass or technology not yet conceived. A lot can happen in ten years! As technology changes and advances, WordPress has to change with it while remaining true to its core values: making publishing online easy for everyone. How we rise to these challenges will be what defines WordPress over the coming ten years.</p>\n<p><strong>To celebrate ten years of WordPress, we&#8217;re working on a book about our history.</strong> We&#8217;re carrying out interviews with people who have involved with the community from the very beginning, those who are still around, and those who have left. It&#8217;s a huge project, but we wanted to have something to share with you on the 10th anniversary. To learn about the very early days of WordPress, just after Mike and I forked b2 <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/about/history/\">you can download Chapter 3 right here</a>. We&#8217;ll be releasing the rest of the book serially, so watch out as the story of the last ten years emerges.</p>\n<p>In the meantime, <a href=\"http://ma.tt/2013/05/dear-wordpress/\"> I penned my own letter to WordPress</a> and other community members have been sharing their thoughts:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http://zed1.com/journalized/archives/2013/01/25/wordpress-a-10-year-journey/\">Mike Little on our Ten Year Journey</a>.</li>\n<li>Core contributor Helen Hou-Sandi <a href=\"http://helen.wordpress.com/2013/05/27/happy-10th-wordpress-and-thanks-from-my-little-family/\">wishes WordPress happy birthday</a>.</li>\n<li>Peter Westwood on <a href=\"http://blog.ftwr.co.uk/archives/2013/05/27/a-decade-gone-more-to-come/\">a decade gone</a>.</li>\n<li>Support rep Mika Epstein <a href=\"http://ipstenu.org/2013/you-me-and-wp/\">on her WordPress journey</a>.</li>\n<li>Dougal Campbell <a href=\"http://dougal.gunters.org/blog/2013/05/27/instagram-my-wife-suzecampbell-and-i-celebrating-the-wordpress-10th-anniversary-with-bbq-in-our-wordpress-shirts-wp10/\">celebrating with his wife, Suze</a>.</li>\n<li>Otto on <a href=\"http://ottodestruct.com/blog/2013/how-wp-affected-me/\">how WordPress affected him</a>.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>You can see how WordPress&#8217; 10th Anniversary was celebrated all over the world <a href=\"http://wp10.wordpress.net/\">by visiting the wp10 website</a>, according to Meetup we had 4,999 celebrators.</p>\n<p>To finish, I just want to say thank you to everyone: to the developers who write the code, to the designers who make WordPress sing, to the worldwide community translating WordPress into so many languages, to volunteers who answer support questions, to those who make WordPress accessible, to the systems team and the plugin and theme reviewers, to documentation writers, event organisers, evangelists, detractors, supporters and friends. Thanks to the jazzers whose music inspired us and whose names are at the heart of WordPress.
