Here’s a brief summary of what’s been happening.

WordPress MU Feedback
Matt took time out to update the feedback form in WordPress MU and WordPress.com today! Here’s a taster of what it looks like:
See the “Feedback” link above there? Hit that to send feedback to the admins of your WPMU site.
This is the feedback form that appears. It’s already being used on WordPress.com to great affect, reporting bugs and suggestions from users to the admins.
Thank you for your feedback. The great thing about this is that you can send feedback about the current page without disturbing what you’ve been doing. It’s sent to the server via an AJAX request and happens without refreshing the page!
Ebay: WordPress Invite For Sale!
What's this WordPress.com thing anyway?
Lots of people are asking about WordPress.com, fortunately for them there has been lots said about it already, both on the wp-hackers list, and on the WPMU blog. Usually without much feedback which I have found strange, but there you go!
The question comes up on IRC frequently, and here’s what I said a short while ago:
<donncha> it’s just WordPress.. if you already run a WordPress blog then you know a lot about what WordPress.com will be 🙂
It’s that, but also more. WordPress.com is going to be a great site and a shining example of what can be built on GPL software!
Welcome to WordPress.com
Looks like Matt has started giving out WordPress.com invites. Hmm.
Only one per person, who would you give your invite to?
Automated PHP code security checking
In my quest to find way of securing 3rd party PHP code I discovered the PHP Security Scanner. This could be a first stage check in the process of checking WordPress templates.
Afterwards we’d have to flag unwanted commands. Well, we don’t want people opening /etc/passwd now do we?
Blog These Tabs
I want a Firefox extension that lets me blog multiple tabs into my WordPress blog. Would it be possible to do something like that with Greasemonkey?
D’Arcy Norman Dot Net » Blog Archive » Multiuser weblog software is heating up again…
D’Arcy Norman looks at the multi-blog universe again. He’s examining a few systems and I like his simple litmus test:
If a user’s first reaction to the software is something like “GAH!” they are less likely to use it.
Customizable Dashboard Feeds
I’ve just checked in the first bits of code that will allow for customizable feeds in the WordPress MU Dashboard. It’s very much a work-in-progress and will change but here’s a few screenshots to whet your appetite! Think of this as pre-alpha code. The final version will look very different.
How you SHOULD use blogs in education
James follows up his previous blogs in education post with a new one on how you should use blogs in education. I bet we’ll see some interesting uses of WPMU in education with James involved!
