Wordpress 2.7 Wish Lists

Although Wordress version 2.6.2 has just been released a few days ago, Ryan Roben, one of Wordperss developers team opens up a little secret that Wordpress 2.7 is on the pipeline. The WP 2.7 promises a whole lot new features including “reply to comments from the admin, threaded comments and new wp_list_comments() API, automatic plugin install and integrated plugin browser, automatic upgrade of WordPress” and many more.

Unfortunately, I don’t see some changes from wp 2.5 & 2.6 which I expect. Things which I feel a bit distracting. So, I’d like to make this post as a wish list to the wordpress developers team. Here’s my simple wish list I hope I could see in the next wp 2.7:

I wish the return of “old-days” two sidebars admin that sitting together (see pic. 1). One of the disturbing feature of wp 2.5+ and 2.6+ is you cannot see two sidebars (if you use two sidebar theme) at the same time (see pic 2). Consequently, you cannot drag one widget in Sidebar 1 into Sidebar 2 smoothly. Instead, you need to click “remove” a particular widget in Sidebar 1, and try to find the removed widget in Sidebar 2 (after clicking “show Sidebar 2″). Very unnecessarily complicated. And such a waste of time.
The content of text-widget in WP 2.5 & 2.6 is uncopyable in IE browser. You cannot copy a text within text-widget nor can you delete it by select-all command. I wish the return of copyable and deleteable-by-select-all command text-widget content in wordpress 2.7 for IE browser.

Are you using wordpress 2.5 or above? And what’s your wish list for the upcoming wordpress 2.7?

[Update 17/09/08] Jane Walls, another Wordrpess development team, offers you to participate in survey as to how Wordpress navigation in wp 2.7 should look like.
