Liveblogging #Wordcamp SF 2009, Part 2

Matt Mullenweg is giving the state of the word and has told us about upcoming features:

1. A completely redone widget backend, complete with an API for development.
2. A theme browser just like the plugin browser, which allows you to search, preview, and install themes from Wordpress.org right from your install.
3. Backend features and improvements out the wazoo! He skipped through the frames really quickly, but it looks like we will be getting better plugin support, user registration features, and security.

He also says that Wordpress is now one of the highly wanted skills on Elance and Odesk, so work on your chops and get a job!

More to come…

UPDATE:

Wordpress.org and WordpressMU are merging code-bases!
