Wordpress 2.7

In July, I mentioned that Wordpress 2.6 was on the horizon (naturally it launched shortly thereafter). Coming now in November is Wordpress 2.7. While 2.6 was a refinement of 2.5, which was a total rebuild of Wordpress, 2.7 looks to be more of a new rebuild once again. Wordpress has been hosting surveys on layouts of navigation schemes and much more.

While I really respect the fact that the Wordpress development team is asking for the communitie’s input, I have to wonder, just how necessary is a total new rebuild of Wordpress when the last major build, 2.5, was only released in March or so of this year?

I don’t mind the layout 2.5 gave us. Not to mention that all the plugins I depend on continued to function just fine thank you very much during the conversion. I’m hoping that 2.7 is a major cosmetic change, but that the functioning stays essentially the same so it doesn’t muck up my site. I know I have the option of staying with what I have, but I’m one of those people that needs to have the newest and latest (especially when it’s free!).

Anyway, if you use Wordpress, and want to have a say in the new build, check out http://wordpress.org/development/2008/09/wordpress-2-7-survey-no2/
