WordPress 2.7 Demo From Matt Mullenweg
Allen Stern - October 5th, 2008
Earlier today we posted the “State of the Word” presentation by WordPress co-founder Matt Mullenweg. After his presentation, Matt spent some time demonstrating the upcoming 2.7 release of WordPress. I’ve embedded the video below. WordPress 2.7 will be available in November.
Matt begins by explaining that eventually everything in WordPress will have an associated API for extending the service. The new interface looks awesome. The posting functionality of WordPress is one of the things I wish Drupal had. I find that Drupal can be extended further than WordPress but the posting usability is WAY better in WordPress than Drupal. The 2.7 admin interface appears to be even more usable than the current version.
Hmm looks good. I wonder if it finally now includes the ability to AUTO update wordpress code, just as it can with blogs
“taking your blog offline”
“Installing wordpress update”
“putting your blog online”
“done”
Otherwise .. looks great, lots of good changes
Yes. This part of the update code is working using the ftp, ssh2, or direct writing method protocols.
Great great interface.
Now just awaiting for Nov 10th for the release of this new version!
The shiny new interface is horrid and will confuse most current users. They seem to have taken a lesson from microsoft in how to build a program. I have been testing it and the thing is horridly bloated, lots of flash but little improvement. Did I mention the new interface sucks?
god he makes me feel OLD
Same. And I’m only ten months older.
Does anyone have any idea which ajax framework does wordpress 2.7 use? the AJAXY stuff looks sexy

jQuery
Thanks for sharing this. Yet another reason to look forward to November!
This is precisely why its worth it to be on the bleeding edge of the wordpress source tree :)
Wow! I can hardly wait! November can’t come too quickly.
