WPNuggets, a new site dedicated to reviewing WordPress plugins, has launched. The site has already hit the ground running with three reviews posted, and submitting a plugin for review is as simple as sending an email.
There are thousands of WordPress plugins out there, so they will be understandably picky with which ones they choose to review, and it sounds like the overall format is still in flux, but this looks like a very promising site to follow if you enjoy trying out new plugins.

The scope for WordPress 3.5 has been proposed. Of note, the planned release date is December 5, with release candidates landing around November 14, and a feature freeze at the end of September.
WordPress 3.5 will also be introducing the new default Twenty Twelve theme, full support for Apple’s new super-high-definition Retina displays, and improved user experience and image handling.
Of course, WordPress 3.5 is still in the planning stages, so these are all subject to change at any time before the feature freeze in September.
Do you use WordPress? If so, please take the WordPress 2012 User and Developer Survey!
The survey is only 10 questions long and should only take you about five minutes, which is ironically the typical length of one WordPress installation. The results will help in the further direction of WordPress and may be presented at WordCamps for even more fun.

What is missing from this release still? Of note our AppCenter is still in the process of being transitioned over to work fully with this new release. Meaning a few of the packages there might not be found yet in the 2.0.0 repositories. If you do find an application there that doesn't install properly I encourage you to let us know on our user forums. Also worth noting is that none of the current .BOD files obtained via the "Download" buttons are functional with 2.0.0 and they should not under any circumstance be installed on a 2.0.0 system. There will be an announcement posted here when they are ready.
Finally - you can find the 32/64bit disc images for download via source forge here.

If you dislike .img files I've also provided tar files that contain the boot partition (which should be written to a vfat partition at the start of an SD card) and the root file system (which should be written to the second partition on a card that is extX).
