Jason Santa Maria has posted an article about his experience with the Wordpress 2.5 redesign and so has Liz Danzico (both from Happy Cog).

The new features in WordPress 2.5 include concurrent saving so you don’t overwrite each other’s posts, multi-file uploading (with progress bar), improved design, the ability to install dashboard widgets in the administrative interface and, my favourite biggie, sitewide search instead of only blog posts. Jason Harris has a quick overview of what’s in there for this new version.

Duane Story has put together a proof of concept on a self-translating blog using the new Google Ajax Language API - Wordpress without Borders.

Matt Mullenweg is giving a sneak preview of WordPress 2.5 which was designed by Happy Cog heavyweights Jeffrey Zeldman, Jason Santa Maria and Liz Danzico. With a pedigree like that WordPress is looking awesome.

WordPress is acquiring BuddyPress, Web Worker Daily reports. This will give you a space to connect with your cohorts outside of the ‘walled-garden‘ of other social networking sites.
