It has been only a couple of weeks since WordPress 2.6 has released and there is already talk about a much more feature rich version in the making. WordPress 2.7 has several exciting features planned/proposed as discussed in informal meetings on IRC and the feature votes being posted on the Codex. Though there are very few hints hint of a release date, I expect it to be released by the end of 2008.

Matt has opened up the signup for the WordCamp San Francisco event which will be held on August 16th 2008. The WordCamp SF ticket prizes has been reduced by $5, each ticket will only cost $20 for this event. The event is being hosted at a bigger venue this time around, so you can expect better and comfortable seating arrangements, one of things Matt has ensured us about. Going by the success of past WordCamp’s, we believe this one will be even bigger and better. You can book your tickets for the WordCamp SF event by visiting this page. Don’t forget to read more about what is WordCamp, if you are new to it.

A few days ago we had told you what you should know about WordPress 2.6. The post described new features that will be introduced shortly in WordPress 2.6. Though there are several new features that you may like in this new version, there might be many that have gone unnoticed that were introduced in the earlier versions of WordPress. To quell the anticipation that users might have for the latest version, we wanted to write a series of posts that will cover WordPress from its infancy to WordPress 2.5 (the latest major version) that many of you use. The WordPress team has been naming their major releases after popular Jazz legends and we will take a look at code names for the past releases.
