Dev Chat Summary for April 1, 2015

(#5980) Help guide the direction of BuddyPress plugin development in 2015. There are only a few more days left for you to take the Survey which will be closing this coming Wednesday, April 8th, at 23:00 UTC. Countdown.

(#6290) @imath had added a patch to bring Avatar UI in wp-admin/Extended profile and move the templates in bp-legacy.
Discussions included clarifying what was the best approach to improve the architecture of this UI per @imath’s latest post in ticket: location of administration panels, backbone template location in bp-legacy or in bp-core. Decisions re localization of the javascript template, naming of template elements, among others, are pending.
To top it off, @im4th is already working on using the Avatar UI to upload Logo/Avatar for multisite installations.
Update: Based on the feedback from WCLDN contributor day and Dev Chat last Wednesday, @im4th has a new post in ticket moving forward with the Avatar UI.
Feedback welcome.

(#6826) @boonebgorges has added a patch and unit tests for this new feature which introduces a new ‘bp_register_member_types’ hook, added changes in bp_core_set_uri_globals(), and a new ‘has_directory’ syntax for Member Types.
