I have now been working with WPMU for a while now. In the start of '06 I launched a WPMU-powered blogging portal for one of the largest danish newspapers in Denmark: http://www.urbanblog.dk/
And now I see a lot new usages for WPMU since it's gotten mature when reaching 1.0. I do have a few wishes though:
1) Ability for users to upload header graphics for their template
2) A built-in sitewide feed that works (the current one at Urbanblog is not functioning at all)
3) A built-in sitewide tagging/category feature (like the ones at wordpress.com or daria.be)
4) A statistics plugin that works well from /mu-plugins/, am currently considering FireStats.
I am willing to contribute to the following model to see some progress here:
- Set up a Fundable group or so, contribute money to the development, follow the development, make sure it gets done
- When done, ship as open source for everyone
I am thinking we could use something like rentacoder.com for this, or a local from this forum, but who's up for it? I am thinking we could be five people putting 200 bucks on the table each. Making 1000 USD for the above projects. Too much or too little?
