Come and join us at meetup.com. All welcomed!
Traditionally, the 3 roles involved in getting a website up and running have been very separate and well-defined. There is the website owner, the web designer and the backend developer. And although normally there is enough communication between them to get the job done, sometimes there is also a fair bit of misunderstanding.
This event will be the first of a series of three, where we will focus on each of the roles in turn, starting with that of web designer and frontend developer.
We are currently working to bring you a couple of lightning talks plus a roundtable discussion covering points such as:
• What makes a good theme or template?
• What would you add to the list of must-have best practices of web design?
• Custom vs template.
• Frameworks vs. child theme.
• Which criteria do you use to decide when to use either?
• From the web design point of view, is the customer always right?
If you are a frontend developer, come along to share your thought processes and compare them with others.
If you are a website owner or backend developer, come along to find out what makes a web designer tick!
If you would be interested in giving one of the lightning talks, please get in touch on [email protected]

Thanks everyone 🙂
Update 2015-11-09: Note that since this was published four years ago, the technical aspects of translations have changed. Projects in GlotPress do need to be 95+% translated for language packs to be deployed with core, plugins and themes. This post is kept for posterity.
I thought it was time we got started on a “proper” English translation of WordPress so here we are.
The plan for the first version of the translation is to go through GlotPress and remove any translations which don’t change the text and just focus on fixing up the pesky z’s and color’s so that everything is spelt correctly.
en-gb is probably the only translation that will never appear in GlotPress as 100% complete because most of the strings don’t need translation and therefore shouldn’t be translated so I am going through and rejecting any translations which don’t change the string as these will just fill up the translation file unnecessarily and increase the memory usage of WordPress when running the en-gb locale.
If you want to help out then please head over to GlotPress and search for strings which need translating –
