This fellow caught the WP download counter passing 3 million last night. Cool! That’s total downloads of the 2.6 series, we reset it every time we do a major X.X release. ¶

That is a great news. I love WordPress and I am as happy as it extends its domination. This is a deserved domination – it is really a great blog and CMS tool.
Congratulations Matt and the other guys at WordPress!

Amazing achievement, but I can’t say I’m all that surprised after having the pleasure of working with a standards based, accessible, seo friendly, customer and developer friendly environment.
What an endeavour it turned out to be.
Congrats.

I agree… 2.7 is excellent, I’m beta testing here, on a live Blog, (yes, I am insane.)
But it’s nice…
Now, if you’d just FIX the ability to edit categories! I spelled constitutional WRONG and I’ve been trying to edit it to the problem spelling and it will not edit… Grrrr…
erica | November 14th, 2008 @ 9:37 pm |

Hicham | November 16th, 2008 @ 6:00 am |
I was in the pre-3 million era; in the 2 million one:P
I’ve a quesion: did WP make a milestone with this version or you’ve reached it before in a previous version?
Aw Guo | November 17th, 2008 @ 7:28 pm |
I’m just curious that is there any track of total downloads?
Would be a very big number
