Getting close to 1.5.1, and I need more authors

Posted by Andrea under News

Donncha has let us all know that there’s been another release candiate, post here. We’re all hoping that if things go well, an official new version will come out on Friday.

Now, since I’ve been real quiet here because I’m swamped with life, work and a pinched nerve in my arm, I thought I’d put out a call for some authors. Typing one-handed is hard. ;)

Even if you’re just interested in a guest post, that’d be great - not just for me or you, but for the community as a whole. Documentation is scanty at best, so this is a great way to show off your knowledge & share a bit. Even if you just want to review a WPMU-based site (good or bad) or write about what special things you’ve done on your own WPMU site.

Also, with the recent Google page rank changes, this blog  jumped up to a PR 6 last tiem I checked, so a little link love back to your regular site (linked in the post you’ll write for here) will be pretty sweet.

Leave me a comment or drop me an email if you’re interested.

    Andrea,
    Hope your pinched nerve feels better. Typing one handed isn’t fun.

    Yes, I could review a WPMU site and write a post or two. I don’t have a ton of knowledge to share, but could add some material.

    [I'm out of the country next week, so it may have to wait until later in May unless we connect in the next day.]

    I was thinking about adding a dev category to the blog of my (small) community, with some HTML/CSS - WP - WPMU - JS tips, but it will be in french…
    I could translate my wpmu articles for you but it’s just an idea.
    And it’s not for right now, it’s exam’s time … But in a week or two why not !

    Hi Andrea,

    I sure hope your arm heals well, and fast:)

    I would be interested in making some WPMU related posts. As you know, I’m building my first MU-based site and I’ve learned many things through the process. I’m not sure of how deep technically I could go into any article, but other would-be WPMU users may find my experience helpful.

    Feel free to contact me if you’re interested.

    Andrea,

    Count me in. Any way we can kind of use this site as the Planet WPMu aggregator you talked about a while back? Perhaps the title makes it too specific, yet we could aggregate certain tags from blogs writing WPMu tutorial stuff in here (for I write it pretty often) and would be happy to share it.

    Let me know,
    Jim

    Hi,

    I’d be more than willing to linkup and review some sites/post some stuff. I’ve recently started getting into WMPU and it’s a blast.

    Give me a shout and we’ll organise.

    I would love to review an MU site or two……………and maybe even have a quick discussion of my overuse of SimplePie. :)

    I am definitely opinionated, so it won’t be all warm fuzzies! :)
