Why hello! The Elastic Ignite presentation from WCNYC was recently added to WordPress.tv.
The next version is almost ready for release: a bunch of bugs have been fixed and there are a few major changes for developers that will make writing Elastic themes a lot easier. Very exciting.

A video of my presentation from the WordCamp NYC lightning round was recently uploaded. If you’re interested in a quick overview of Elastic and not interested in the long developer-centered version, this one’s for you!
Also, the slides from the full presentation have been featured on the SlideShare homepage! I have no idea why they’re featured, but I think it’s awesome. So—whoever’s responsible for that, thank you!

So as anyone who went to WordCamp NYC knows, this weekend was awesome. Meeting everyone was incredible—before this weekend the WordPress community was this distant amorphous blob, and all of a sudden it’s very, very real. Thanks, guys.
For those of you who couldn’t make it, here are the slides from both of my presentations, as well as the famed “theme in a minute” video. The Elastic overview is a general look at the editor portion of Elastic and some basic info. For anyone interested in how Elastic works and the concepts that drive it, I’d highly highly recommend checking out the second slideshow. If you have any questions, ask away!
Watch as we lay out and build a theme in just one minute using the editor.

First off, you guys are all awesome.
Second, slides and demos for both my advanced dev presentation and lightning round presentation will be online SOON! Like, tonight soon.
Meanwhile, find me at WordCamp and come say hi!

Elastic is a WYSIWYG theme editor for WordPress. Elastic was originally a project in the Google Summer of Code in 2009, but continued to grow after the summer ended.
There are several main working parts behind Elastic: a WYSIWYG editor, a framework, and a set of protocols that link the two (base themes).
Now, I’d like Elastic to become the canonical theme editor for WordPress, and I can’t do it alone. Elastic is a huge project, and I’m a student. Basically—you should contribute!
If you’d like to learn more about Elastic, you should check out my WordCamp NYC slides and demos (to be posted soon) and the PHP documentation (to be updated soon), or even better—you should contact me!
