Sorry if it was not clear. Sensei, along with all of other other plugins will remain and continue being develop as normal. No need to worry at all. We have a lot of exciting things coming up for Sensei ;)
There are only two places where the URL should be stored. Anywhere else is an issue with the plugin or theme storing them incorrectly. Both are contained within the wp_options table for home URL and site URL. Those are the only values required to be changed. If you have a development environment, you should not be migrating the wp-config.php file anyway as it has sensitive information for product sites thus on your dev site you can have a separate wp-config.php file to take into account the new values for home and site URL's.
I won't go into detail on that here but know that there's a very good reason for it. Plugin and theme developers should be using for example `esc_url( home_url( '/' ) );` when requiring the URL of the site.
You're right. We could have done a better job at documenting the REST API. We've been slowly introducing and fixing issues with the the REST API since it's debut. We never fully announced it as it was still very much a work in progress. However in WC 2.3 I'm happy to announce we've significantly improved the REST API and documentation.
Without a doubt we're also going to have many more resources joining Automattic and their talented group.
The WooCommerce eco-system relies on our third-party developers and we will continue working with them. We don't have any immediate changes that would affect developers and agencies. We do plan to introduce a new developer program (a re-imagined Affiliated Woo Workers) to help agencies and developers in the coming months but is unrelated to the acquisition and has been in the works for the last few months.
Hey all. I'm Michael, a Developer Advocate at WooThemes and now Automattic. I'm happy to answer any questions. As you can imagine, we're all really excited about this.
Shared on Facebook and sadly showed up as "Home page - Lily" with no meta description. If you're looking for more people to share and click, try fixing your meta tags so when people share it shows full a good teaser of the product is.
Since the iPhone introduced widgets, I've found it a lot easier to check-in using Swarm. I swipe down and click check-in. It already knows where I am. Before this, I rarely used Swarm.
This has been an issue for me for awhile. I've been scouting for screens for awhile for something cheap. I've been visiting GoodWill often as they have a large selection of monitors to choose from but most of them are far too large for a small screen. $15 is a great deal for a cheap monitor, but it takes up a huge amount of room.
Perhaps biased since I work for WooThemes but I disagree. First of all WooCommerce is free. What you need on your site is not needed on all sites. There is no "basic" version of WooCommerce. There is only one version and what you need on top of that is up to you. Extensions can be purchased from our marketplace or several others, but that's optional. There are free ones on WordPress.org that provide what you're looking for that are free but you will need to pay for support. WooCommerce itself works the same way. You also have the option to develop what you need on your site.
I get what the author is trying to say but thought I'd add a bit on the Ninja Wallet mentioned there.
I have a Pocket Monkey (http://zootilitytools.com) which is similar to Wallet Ninja and have been carrying this around for over a year in my wallet. I personally love this tool and will never leave home without it. Much like as Swiss Army Knife, this thing has been useful so many times for me. Admittedly however my most frequently used part of the tool is the bottle opener. Other aspects of the tool don't get used quite as often. However if I were to carry the rather large tool the author links to, it would not fit in my wallet.
gmu3 mentions the issue with airports. I travel very frequently through several different countries including the US and have never had any issues keeping this in my wallet. I've only been questioned once but they were okay with it and let me keep it. It's not sharp enough.
The Pocket Monkey is an easy conversation starter as well. Every time I whip it out to open someones beer because there are no openers available they are often impressed of how small and strong it is.
Disclaimer: I was given a Pocket Monkey (worth $12) free to review on my own site in 2013.

I wonder however if Eugene were a Football Coach if he Edwin would then be called Ed for short. Perhaps Dan into Daniel and Mike into Michael for Electrical Engineer.
