    Congrats! You are now an official S.F. rockstar…

    I forgot to mention that a lot of the S.F. rockers (except Santana and the Airplane) drove old Dodge Darts and other anono-cars….

    For all its numbers, the progress on the semantics side is next to nothing. My one and only criteria to judge progress in anything web is opportunity cost. Okay, don’t do nothing about semantics, but reduce the opportunity cost some other way.

    But is their site run on WordPress? Since no one is going to read the actual newspaper, might as well get them a good publishing platform.

    That is a nice article about you Matt, Automattic and the WordPress community as a whole. Glad to see you are dedicated to continuing development to make WP a more powerful CMS application.

    The recent 2.6 release was quite impressive considering the overall short development time!

    Congratulations matt. You are a rockstar. All the best for a superb future. Keep up the good work. WordPress is the king of blogs…

    I agree that making WP more CMS-alike product is a good long-term philosophy.

    Content versioning in 2.6 is important step forward in this area.

    To the list of TODO CMS features that should be integrated into the core I would definatelly add more advanced role managment (like Role Manager plugin) and multi-lingual abilities so you can easily develop different language versions of your site (with language specific slugs and so on).

    It’s online for those who can’t get their hands on a printed copy.

    Matt, you’re a sax player? What’s your horn? I have Yamaha YAS-62. Alto, of course. Keep up the good work.
