This really couldn’t come at a better time for me but it’s good that their still developing for the future. I just UPGRADED!

It’s a new year, and we have a new major release of WordPress coming soon. (We’re currently aiming for the 22nd.) It’s as good a time as any to examine where we’ve been, and where we are, and where we’re going as a community. 2006 was a pretty exciting year, we saw 1.54 million downloads of WP, and that’s not even counting the people who install it through their host’s one-click install or the half a million who have experienced it through the hosted WordPress.com. WordPress is touching more lives than ever.

They are accepting new ideas from us users to implement in the new version, if you want to contribute, see this.
