During an interesting discussion regarding suggestions on how to improve WordPress core development on the WordPress hackers mailing list, Ryan Boren who is one of the core contributors with committ access laid out the foundation as to what the team tries to accomplish with each release of WordPress. I thought it would be good to bring this into more of the open for those wondering what’s involved. ** Alpha ** * Collect feature ideas from ideas forum, support forums, most popular plugins, dev brainstorms, and other sources. * #wordpress-dev meetup to decide on which features we want to commit to and set the scope of the release * While this is going on, do some trac gardening of things that got punted from the previous release. We’re pretty bad about this sometimes, but with 3.0 Peter and I have been going through some of the backlog. * With features decided, […]

WordPress Security

I was notified on Twitter the other day that there was a new 0 Day denial of service exploit for WordPress. When asking on Twitter if it worked, numerous people replied that the published code did work and was taking down their sites. This raised some red flags for me so I jumped into the WordPress-Dev IRC channel to figure out what was going on. The way this denial of service attack works is that a random search string is sent to the search form of a WordPress based website. Caching plugins do not work against this because the search string is randomized. It’s quite simple but what I’ve been told is that this is not an issue for WordPress to handle. Instead, this attack should be dealt with by the webhost on a firewall level. At one point, a ticket was created by Scribu but has since been closed […]

As these projects end up in the showcase and acquire press, more people will begin to realize that WordPress is an excellent blogging tool but it’s by far the not only thing it is capable of doing. WordPress will continue to evolve as a framework or a platform that will enable these […]
