[wp-testers] Feature Freeze, Wireframes, Visual Design, Bug Scrubbing, and Beta Testing

[Will Garcia]

Hi Ryan,

Here's what I have found so far:
- Comment threading works using the default theme. Tried it on a custom
theme and it also works, but the layout is heavily dependent on the theme.
It wouldn't look nice with the layout Ma.tt has with his blog's comments
section (separated comment text area and commenter info). Haven't tried
comment paging yet, but I'm assuming it's working fine with the default
theme.
- Auto upgrade via the "Stay Updated" link works for my host (1&1). Other
users hosts' mileage may vary.
- Plugin installation from admin works beautifully. Searching for a plugin
works but would like to suggest the paged links for the results be more
prominent. And more results per page would be nice.
- Landing page for adding new plugins is not yet pretty, but I'm sure you
have that all covered.
- Upload a Plugin still not implemented as of the last auto-upgrade I did
(about an hour ago).

That's it for now. Sorry I'm not much help when it comes to coding and such.
I simply don't wanna jinx your mojo.

Kudos to all of the developers for exceeding my expectations. Just when I
thought 2.6.x couldn't get any better, here comes 2.7.

Cheers!
