An interesting point on the WordPress blog talks about what WordPress users want to see in version 2.9. The requests came in through a survey that users were invited to answer to allow the development team to prioritise what features they wanted to see in the next version of WordPress. There are some nice new features in there, with a lot of people voting for Media Albums and lots of people wanting to see the media features implemented in the WordPress core as opposed to a separate plugin.
Personally I’m a bit reluctant to see the core getting heavier with functionality that won’t be used by everyone, but gauging by the amount of people wanting these media features maybe that’s the best place to put them. I mean, a blog about free online auctions would probably use media quite intensively, but one talking about grammatical nuances of the English language probably wouldn’t. Still, happy to go with the majority on this one. Go crowd!
