Today we're launching the new version of our Twitter Developer Site. With
over 1,000,000 registered applications and 750,000 developers building on
the platform today, we needed a new home to support the Twitter community
better. So, we listened to everyone and gathered your ideas. The new site
enhances communication channels, offers improved reference material and
documentation, and will foster better interaction for everyone who visits
it.

As you dive in, you’ll notice a number of changes. We focused on tightly
structuring the content so it is more easily discoverable and
understandable. Because the site will have to change over time to serve the
needs of our evolving community, we relaunched it using Drupal, which
provides more flexibility, better tools than we had, and a large developer
network with whom we can work more closely. The new dev.twitter.com also
includes the following highlights:

* Discussions - We need a place to talk with each other that gives us more
functionality than we have now. So, it’s time to move away from the mailing
list. In the new discussions section, you’ll find “Hot Topics” for the most
popular conversations. And you can subscribe to the categories and threads
that interest you most. Lastly, we created a “Dev Teatime” section to focus
on a more social side of the community. We hope to get to know more of you
through this feature, so please check it out.

* Developer Blog - The new blog provides a place to learn about important
API announcements, events, tips and how-tos, case studies on great apps,
product insights, and more. We’ll be featuring content from a variety of
different teams here at Twitter, as well as highlighting great applications
built on the platform. We’ll also be featuring guest blog posts from
community members. https://dev.twitter.com/blog

* Better Documentation - The docs have better structure and searchability
and should feel more intuitive. They are easier to update, so you’ll know
you are always reading the most up to date information when you’re looking
for what you need. https://dev.twitter.com/docs

* Improved Apps Management - The new app manager has a streamlined design
that provides more comprehensive information for your app.

* Enhanced Search - Powered by Apache Solr, searching the new
dev.twitter.com also got a boost. We have a unified search engine with
filters and expect results to be more relevant. Also, we can search the
archive from our Groups mailing list. https://dev.twitter.com/search

Most importantly, this is just a starting point and we really want to hear
from everyone. We will continue to add new features based on what we need
and what we learn. The site will be an ongoing effort and we’d love to hear
your thoughts in the Feedback section of our new Discussions area. We hope
everyone enjoys the new site and look forward to making this the best
developer site it can be.
