This post covers the BuddyPress Dev Chats for May 3, 10, and 17. Information has been updated to current status.
bp-nouveau
A friendly reminder from @hnla re testing and patches for bp-nouveau.
@hnla has committed styling updates, concentrated on some issue areas with what’s new update form and user screens, in particular messaging and the bulk action filters & search form elements, hacking away at the Backbone templates to bring the markup into line with the general selector and search form visual styles & updating the JS show/hide events to work with classes rather than jQuery .hide().
@hnla: “The what’s new form could still do with some further attention on the general show/hide nature of its control actions, I removed some earlier styles & tidied up the new autocomplete input where `post in groups` is selected, however we currently have no onBlur event to hide the controls so anyone that fancies delving into backbone could help out looking at what we could do to add some fun to the what’s new form. At this stage We have clean code supporting this feature, pretty much a blank canvas for playing around with effects that might look good rather than our rather staid `onfocus` open.”
@r-a-y reviewed bp-nouveau. Fixed issues for loading Ajax on component request and updated actions now they’re button elements, comments counts, notice errors, and set up the `buddypress-wrap` class dynamically.
@netweb has kept on top of the tooling for the project, updating the style-lint config modules, updating grunt file and fixed linting issues.
@mercime has been working on #130 where consensus during dev chat was to use option 2 for the implementation.
@dcavins was added to the sitewide notices ticket #137.
At this stage we need more devs taking tickets/project cards and moving into In Progress column.
Trac Tickets
Include BP Edit Group Slug into the core (#6014) @dcavins has committed patch to trunk.
Messages: member page messages are queried for the loggedin user (#7096) @dcavins has refreshed patch. @r-a-y and @Offereins have provided feedback.
Remove/Replace `title` attributes with Tooltips usable in all devices (#7188) @mercime has examples in ticket. The choice was the second example, though  @dcavins is making a case for the third example.
Only load component action and screen code when we’re on the component’s page (#7218) @r-a-y has patch.
Use JOIN rather than Subquery on user search (#7442) @brandonliles has patch. Needs dev feedback.
Resize member avatar error with cyrillic (not latin) filename (#7484) @r-a-y has patch which relies on newer PHP functions (v5.4). It’s either that or wait for WP core to fix #WP22363 #WP24661 #WP15955. Dev feedback requested.
bp_group_has_members performs unnecessary query (#7513) @r-a-y has patch. Dev feedback requested before committing.
