News: Influenza sucketh severely.

Other news - dunno if this is too long for newsletter, use thine red pen as required: The accessibility team, especially Jadelennox, are working towards marking up the site with WAI-ARIA landmark roles. This is basically a way to say "this part of the web page is the banner", "this part is the main text", "this part is a menu", and so on to help assistive technology programs understand which part of the page is the bit they want. It would replace the "Skip to main content" links you see on some web pages for example, because the software will be able to find the main content by itself.

Jade and myself are busy going "whee, this technology is cool!" a lot.

I'm not sure if it's worth mentioning, but the shop is almost all done up until the "check out" point (it should be at this point by the Monday update, anyway)...anything after that isn't coded yet. :)

If there is clothing in the shop, will it be black? (As opposed to LiveJournal's idea of blue and green geekwear.)

[janinedog]

No clothing yet, just paid accounts. :)

We blasted ~400 more invite codes out there and doubled our traffic, cresting over 2Mbps. Which, while not a LOT, is still interesting (to me).

We also deployed MogileFS, Gearman, SSL, got directory search working, and I did a lot of other backend stuff. Not much coding this week, unfortunately, but hey. S'life.

I got my first patch committed. Does that count? It was exciting for me, anyway.

In the wizard:

- the most basic items (recent items, customized vs noncustomized comment pages. pushing to get more, soon)
- modules

I need to be creating more updates on specific bugs fixed, but that can go in dw-styles :)
