Yeah. The June is still in the middle but there were several notable releases. I think everyone was hurry to release something before the vacation season begins. WP 2.8 is of course the most noisy release. We’ve also introduced a couple of important releases this June.

The design bump site is a really nice design and the site itself isn’t to bad either. Ive bookmarked this site as there are quite a few interesting articles.
Also the fuel network looks pretty good too.
