code push today (mon 31 oct)

[denise]

As our Halloween gift to y'all, we are planning a fairly impromptu code push sometime in the next few hours. (It's hard for us to schedule these further ahead of time, due to the difficulty of timezones; fu and I live 12 timezones apart!) The site will be down for approximately 2 minutes as part of the process. We will update here and our offsite status Twitter account when the process begins.

As we mentioned in this week's dw_news update, this code push includes a new profile section for communities you maintain, tied to the display of the list of communities you are a member of. To disable this list, uncheck the "communities" box in the final section of the Edit Profile page.

This code push will also activate the beta testing of our new Create Entries page. Check out dw_beta for more details.

More details on changes going live in this push can be found in the following code tours:

11 Aug - 24 Aug (currently live on site)
25 Aug - 5 Sep
6 Sep - 25 Sep
26 Sep - 11 Oct
12 Oct - 20 Oct
21 Oct - 30 Oct

Highlights of this push can be found in the 21 October dw_news entry.
