About UX Subgroups
Automattic is a big contributor to the apps, internally we’ve now divided ourselves into 3 key areas in the apps: NUX, Consume & React, and Posting. Each group will go at the priorities of both the iOS and Android platforms as well as taking a deeper look at each experience. The hope is that this will bring the app experiences closer together, get a better sense of ownership, and promote innovation.
In reality this doesn’t mean all that much for the iOS and Android projects, the releases currently being tested will still make it out pending the QA cycle, we’re still focusing on stability/bug fixes/crash fixes/code clean up. We’ll of course continue hanging out in #wordpress-mobile on Freenode and if someone wants to pick up a ticket and contribute we’ll help you get set up but be sure to check out the Mobile Handbook first!
iOS Status
3.8.4 was still being fixed up, so testing will happen this week. There are a lot of changes so help is needed. Look out for a post from @koke later today!
Android Status
All of last week went to fixing some serious bugs in v. 2.5 of the app that came up in QA testing round 2, so this week we’ll move into round 3. Hopefully this will be the final one and we’ll be able to submit towards the end of the week.
Handbook
We were going to talk about the status of the Handbook but decided to loop back on it next week. In the meantime @isaackeyet will look over the Design section one last time and given time @koke or @sendhil can look over the iOS section. We’ll also make sure full Testing instructions for both our main apps are in the Handbook as well.
This Week
- TESTING!
(top priority for both apps is to test the respective upcoming releases, feel free to help out!)
Next Week
The next dev chat will be on Nov 4 at 16:00 in #wordpress-mobile. Mark your calendar and join us!
