WordPress 2.7 is an awesome release. The revision of the admin backend, despite being so soon after the changes in 2.5, is fantastic… particularly for “real users”. I enjoyed putting forward my blunt perspective on the issue while Matt and Jane were in the crowd at WordCamp Australia. Developers and contributors don’t hear “you’re doing the right thing” and “thank you” often enough. :-)

So, thank you WordPress hackers for another great release! (And thanks to Donncha for already working on the big merge for WordPress MU 2.7… I’m really looking forward to deploying it on GNOME Blogs.)

Plus, make sure you check out the in-yo-face download counter.

Definitely great to see Cheese (of which I am quite the fan) so prominently featured in the release notes and on the front page. Rock on, Daniel!

Amazingly, something even more exciting in the GNOME galaxy has just concluded… the (by all reports) über-successful GTK+ Hackfest.

Congratulations to all involved… The future looks bright — burning magnesium bright!

GNOME 2.22

Hearty congratulations to our friends in the KDE community, who shipped KDE 4.0 today!

It’s a hard slog for any software development team to wrangle a major release such as this, but if our experience since shipping GNOME 2.0 is anything to go by, the KDE team’s efforts on this release will pay off handsomely in the future.

Now we get to wait and see what the KDE team do with this great opportunity!
