Quick update – just tagged and released WPBook 2.1.2 – should show up in the repository shortly.
Note that if you’ve already made the changes described in upgrading from 2.0.x to 2.1 you do not have to redo them, though you will have to regrant permissions (in order to fix #s 1 and 2 below).

Ours Goes to 11
Just tagged and checked in another maintenance release of WPBook, 2.0.11. This will be the last (hopefully) release in the 2.0 series – next up is 2.1, with OAuth 2.0 for authentication. (Facebook is migrating in this direction, which means eliminating by March 2011 some of the calls I’m relying on now).
This release also incorporates all the 2.0.10 changes, but it marked stable – so many of you will jump right from 2.0.9.2 to 2.0.11.

Just released an update to ReTweeter (1.1), which now uses the Twitter API for Retweeting. This means that instead of the traditional “RT: @username” syntax, the retweeted tweets will now show Twitter’s little retweet icon and the link to the original tweet (where it says “about 4 hrs ago”) preserved, and the retweeting user’s name at the bottom, like so:

Editorial Calendar is an excellent new plugin for WordPress which shows your blog posts (already published as well as scheduled for future publishing) in a calendar view and lets you drag posts around to different days. Simple, clean, and just works (at least on the two 3.0.1 WordPress blogs I’ve tried it on – haven’t dealt with multiple authors, etc yet).

SixApart recently announced that they will be closing Vox, their hosted blog service, at the end of September. Earlier this year, Ning announced it would be moving to a “paid users only” model, leaving many communities looking for new homes online. What’s a site owner to do when free (as in beer) services disappear? Look for open source replacements, of course!
