WordPress 2.7

in Thought, WWW, Webdev, wordpress / tags: features, movabletype, plugins, sitemap, wordpress, wordpress 2.6, wordpress 2.7, xml

After upgrading to WordPress 2.6, I found no big problems. Everything looks fine. There are already many features offered, but do I use them all or try to get benefits from them? I don’t think so. I only use some some basic blog features. Do you? Well, no matter how many features, I do not think that most of us — at least me — do not use them all, only the basic things. The point is: I can do blogging in ease.

When I visit WordPress Codex page about WordPress 2.7, there are some (again!) features that might be available for the coming release. It’s still a proposal, anyway. What features that interests me? I think I like some of them, and will use it if they’re available.

• Sitemaps by default — Right now, we can have a sitemap using Google XML Sitemaps Generator. I hope I understand it right. If this kind of sitemaps can be available by default, this should be great.
• Batch editing of posts — Is it something like what Movable Type already has for long time? Assigning multiple entries into categories, adding tags into multiple entries. Like this? Okey, [this is good]. :)
• Comment threading — Currently, I do not use this feature. This can be done using a plugin. But if it’s available in the core, this should good because this kind of capabilities can be useful in a conversation (in comments).
