For day-to-day stuff, I probably get more news/links/stuff from WP friends on Twitter than anywhere else (mixed with ample time-wasting and goofiness).
Same here—probably a bit too much of the time-wasting, of course!
Thanks for your informative reply, it really does help. I’ll look into the local WP group, and hopefully make a few events. I already have a few friends on Facebook and Twitter who are pretty much exclusively WP-oriented, so I’ll try squeezing them for information too.
One thing I’ve noticed from the start is that WordPress is a lot more designer/OCD-friendly on the front-end than Drupal (bonus!), but a bit less developer friendly under the hood—but not horribly so.
Do you know if there are any initiatives to move away from SVN at some point with plugin repositories?
