Noel goes to Japan (and blogs it with WordPress). Unicode support should come in handy.

Missed Plugins
Question for MT to WP converts: “To those of you who have converted, or who are thinking of converting – what plugin/hack/thing-a-ma-jig did you used to have for MT that you wish you could have now. I think there is very little (if anything at all?!) that I did in MT that couldn’t be done as easily (if not EASIER!) in WordPress. So, while I can’t say I’ll promise to get to everything right away, I’d like to re-create as many tutorials as possible for WordPress.”
Key Values Plugin
Brad Choate’s Key Values Plugin for MT. I’ll have to look at how this compares to WordPress’ built-in custom fields functionality.
CDF for WordPress
Adam does CDF for WordPress. Is there anything we don’t support?
WordPress Meetup
Wow, this is very exciting—a WordPress meetup! I was just browsing around came across this post on Blogging Pro saying that there is now a WordPress meetup on the fourth saturday of every month. The very first one is coming up on June 26th. Funnily enough though I don’t travel very often it looks like I’m going to be out of town that week. (Any San Francisco WordPress users up for a meetup?) You can bet that I’m going to try and make as many of these as possible. I know at least a few very active WordPress users are in Texas, with developer Ryan Boren in Dallas and a few people in Austin. It would be very neat to have a yearly event where we all got together. BBQ is on me.
Since I last saw it Meetup has gotten some nice enhancements. I’ve been burned at a couple of meetups where I was the only person that showed up. I’ll have to give them another chance.
WP Blacklist
I’m not sure why they’re still working on a WordPress Blacklist when that functionality is built in to 1.2 in a very robust fashion. At this point patches to improve the included blacklist/moderation would be more useful to the average user, I think.
JS Quicktags
Fellow WP developer Alex has released his cursor-aware quicktag code under the LGPL. This is one of my very favorite features of WordPress, and its ease of use is one of the main reasons I haven’t adapted a meta-language like Markdown personally.
WordPress and PHP
problems switching
Jill/txt is having some problems switching to WordPress, maybe we can help? Two documentation pages that come to mind are styling lists and The Loop.
WordPress Wikipedia
WordPress on the Wikipedia, I wonder who’s going around adding all this blogging stuff to the wikipedia? The site is looking excellent, not sure when they adopted that new style. Looks like a good CSS implementation, which makes perfect sense for an encyclopedia. (Not counting the weird page-within-a-page embedding thing which I suspect is an application error.)

Reply Highlighting
If I ever highlight comments the colors would differentiate just me and everyone else, because that’s the only hierarchy on this site. I’m no longer being auto-highlighted over at Dave’s, which is too bad because I thought my mezzoyellow.com joke was funny, but I don’t think manual highlighting is going to scale. Basing it on URI is dangerous at best, and the PHP code is… well I need to write more PHP articles for Digital Web.
Upgrading
“It’s easier to upgrade from MT 2.6 to WordPress than it is from MT 2.6 to MT 3.0.” Usually I stay away from Slashdot comments, but these look pretty good. 😉
Textile 2 for WordPress
Adam updates Textile 2 for WordPress. Apparently the plugin we included with 1.2 doesn’t have all the features the perl version does. We’ll have to roll this in.

Interface design in WordPress
Matthew Thomas » Interface design in WordPress 1.2. If you think the new options are nice, wait to you see some of the other stuff mpt is bugging me to do. 🙂 We’re very lucky to have this guy around. Don’t believe anyone who tells you UI is easy. Matthew spent a lot of time designing everything and it took me an order of magnitude longer than I expected to implement most of it. (The last 10% will take even longer.)
Comparative: WordPress versus Movable Type
Neowin.net -> Comparative: WordPress versus Movable Type. Fair and balanced, and it made the front page of Neowin.
Template Tags
WordPress Template Tags, just a taste of some of the new documentation. Kudos to Anne van Kesteren for his hard work on this one.
First Plugin
The Scripty Goddess has her first plugin up. With a simple tweak she could shave a step. I’m really digging the new WordPress plugin system. First of many to come from her? Bing!
