wpdevel posts for important information for developers

Two things come to mind immediately:

#18880: admin_user_info_links filter is gone. Use the admin bar. We should include code samples, perhaps one that leverages groups (#19136).

#19342: Plugin Authors Do the Darndest Things, a new show by Bill Cosby.

If anyone has anything else, post here now.

• jQuery 1.7.1, full UI in core, other JS changes.
• WP_Screen changes?
• new format for help,
• feature pointers (do we want plugins to use them?),
• revised admin bar API and styling,
• wp_editor() replaces all previous calls to different components of both editors

I'll work on cobbling together a tentative codex page on wp_editor() -- azaozz, I'll try to flag you down at some point when you're free to pick your brain for a couple of the bits that I'm having a hard time gleaning straight off the code.

I'll work on cobbling together a tentative codex page on wp_editor()

Just requesting a note about the potential issues with wp_editor() and meta boxes, which as georgestephanis pointed out on irc, are already documented in the source (as of 3.3beta4).

Thinking we need that at about the same time as RC.

Help and screen API is up: ​http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/12/06/help-and-screen-api-changes-in-3-3/. Someone can adapt this to a few Codex pages I'm sure.

Do we have a list of codex pages that need written? I'll try to go through and hit as many as I'm able.

What’s to watch for: Javascript and Editor changes in WordPress 3.3: ​http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/12/07/whats-new-javascript-in-3-3/

We *need* a Codex page and/or tutorial on quicktags and how to use it. Particularly a before/after for how you take existing code and update it to the new code.

[georgestephanis]

I'll do the codex pages and a tutorial for how to change old across to new tomorrow of thursday if noone else claims them.
