Version 2.7

Coming in the future

  • Backend UI redesign

    • Due to the number of people who thought the admin page redesign could have been better. The team has decided to rework the UI to be more inline with their users requests.

  • Upgrade API – themes and plug-ins on the fly

    • This sounds like a very exciting feature making the managing of updated very easy.

  • Quick Edit - Inline Editing

    • Think Dreamweavers inline editing feature.

  • Improved Comments – Threaded comments
  • Close comments on Old Posts

    • Giving users the ability to say comments for posts older than a month old are now closed.

  • HTTPonly cookies – Javascript security
  • New HTTP Request API
  • Press This improvements – Live Blogging
  • New UI API for plug in developers

    • Not necessarily for the end user but good to know.

  • phpDoc – better “in code” documentation
  • APP Importer – Moveable Type, Typepad, Blogger.
  • New Default Theme – Based on Sandbox

Beyond 2.7

Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom HuckJam arrived at the Verizon Wireless Music Center. While I’m unsure as to the turn out. I am sure that my buddy Tim Spinosi was there and he got to meet Tony Hawk.

You see back in the day. 5 Guys wrote a script for a cartoon called Skate Rats. It was about a bunch of well, skate boarding rats. It was geared towards kids but had enough laughs and pop culture references to keep the older set interested as well. Tim always said that he would put it in Tony Hawk’s hands and yesterday he was true to his word.

Will anything more come of it? One never knows.
