Jane Wells – User Experience

Jason — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 00:07:09 +0000

Anyone using WordPress for a while will know about the huge amount of work that has gone in on the back end user interface. This is one of the key advantages of using WordPress, especially for business users. Version 2.7 back in late 2008 was a huge step foward and every version gets better in usability terms.

State of WordPress by Matt -Video

Jason — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 19:00:11 +0000

As one of the organisers for Wordcamp NZ I’m very interested in what happens at other wordcamps around the world. They are community based events organised around WordPress users of all shapes and dimensions globally.

A good place to look at is the WordPress roadmap and a bit of history from the key WordPress founder.

“At WordCamps Matt Mullenweg attends he gives an update on the roadmap for WordPress including some updates on where the platform is now and generally providing a deeper context for users and developers alike.”

Here is the video (57m) from recent SAF WordCamp which had 700 attendees and is probably the biggest wordcamp so far in the 6 year old history of WordPress.

WordCamp Dallas in this coming weekend and I’ll be following as best as I can from here some of the discussions via twitter and other blogs from that event.

WordCamp UK is in July and we have WordCamp New Zealand on August 8th which is about 42 days time if my math is correct. Hope to see you all there.
