In reply to: Why using Kubrick on 1.3 is a mistakeGravity: I should’ve mailed you (actually several times), just a few hours ago ??
Anyway, IIS can’t do Kubrick, it’s just not possible. I’ll do a write-up on why on my blog as soon as I can find the time. But don’t worry, this won’t be a problem _at all_ in 1.3.Forum: Themes and Templates

In reply to: Why using Kubrick on 1.3 is a mistakeOkay, here’s the quick lowdown. I promise I’ll make a complete update when I get home from work, probably on my own site, I’ll be sure to leave a link here once that happens.
Goodsnake: You are assuming that a ‘variant of Kubrick’ is == Kubrick, thus also including the .htaccess setup and whatnot that Kubrick has.
You haven’t actually asked anyone about this, you’re assuming it.
Now do you honestly think that a group of devs that pride themselves from having an install that takes less than 5 minutes, will throw themselves into a messy setup?
Of course not!
But you haven’t asked any of them…
Anyone pissed that I said the following:“As for Gemini and Trident, I hadn’t heard of them before just now, and having looked them over I’m sorry to say that I’m not particularly impressed. Now I’m not saying this to start a war or anything, but there are some glaring usability and in my opinion stylistic flaws. Obviously I’m biased, but that’s where I stand anyway.”
I mean it… I really think that there are some flaws in it, in terms of its aesthetics, and I wouldn’t want them to represent WP. But that’s me. And again it has nothing to do with anything that’s really going on here, except that Root has hurt feelings.
Root: Deleting my perfectly acceptable comments on your blog and replacing them with [flame deleted] to make me look bad isn’t doing you any favors. Fair enough that you, I owe you an explanation for my remarks, but instead of continually cluttering up this thread with off-topic garbage and launching tantrum assaults from your blog, perhaps you should’ve just mailed me and sorted it out with me.
“But you made it public in the first place!” you say. True, but that’s just how I am, I say what I think. And I think I know at least a little about design and usability.
As I wrote in the comment you deleted from your blog, this thread isn’t about my design aesthetics vs. yours.
To all:
This thread is about using elements from Kubrick in the next WordPress version. No one knows what elements yet. None of the devs know what it’ll be like yet. Matt doesn’t know exactly. I don’t know. And you don’t know.
Instead of bickering over this or that, why not be constructive and make points for what you would like to see changed, if anything.
I’m sorry that I posted what I posted in the first place. Not because it was wrong of me, but because I had forgotten the incredible ability some people have of jumping to conclusions without veryfying with the sources.
And I’m sorry that because of that, this forum turned its nasty side up.
But mostly, I’m sorry that because people are flailing their arms about something they know nothing about, Matt and probably some of the other devs are going to have to spend some time weeding out all the garbage in this thread to find at least a smidgen of usable advice.Forum: Requests and Feedback

In reply to: Why using Kubrick on 1.3 is a mistakepodz: What I think would benefit WP in general, is if you instead of putting your heels into stopping the progress on a new default template, is make a top 10 list of the most problematic questions that you see again and again.
You’re without a doubt the most qualified person to deal with such a thing!Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Why using Kubrick on 1.3 is a mistakeRoot: But have you bothered asking Matt what changes that are going to be made?
