WPWeekly Episode 145 – An OMGBBQWTF Kind Of Week

Marcus Couch and I were joined by Eric Mann to discuss the news of the week. After the news, we discussed in-depth a few of the core proposals Mann has published on his blog. We covered the following three WordPress core proposals:

Data Service

Portability

Offline Editor

After speaking with Mann, it’s clear he puts a lot of thought into each proposal. I hope you enjoy the show and don’t forget to give us your feedback in the comments.
