Impossibile non segnalare questo ottimo post per iniziare ad avere in mente la versione 2 del meraviglioso software che e’ Wordpress…
-> What is new in WordPress 2.0 from 1.5?

One important note before we begin: Many of the changes in WordPress from 1.5 to 2.0 are under the hood. They are things that you’re not going to notice unless you are developer. There are some features that casual users will notice that are significant, but (in my opinion) most of the real change has happened where most people won’t see.

As a result, there is a fundamental thing to understand here. What often looks like catering to plugin developers is actually of benefit to common users, because with the enhanced capabilities of the underlying engine it becomes possible to make better extensions faster than we could before. The underlying engine has been made to work better. There have been times while doing contract work on 1.5.x installations where two days of work were necessary to accomplish something that I could have done in 1.6 (now 2.0) in about 10 minutes. Seriously.

E la lista delle novita’ e’ molto lunga e molto succosa direi…
Non vedo l’ora di poterci mettere le mani…

Una notizia molto interessante dal Register:

-> Peru’s parliament approves pro-open source bill

Legislators in Peru have approved a hotly contested bill sanctioning use of open source software by government and levelling the playing field for start-ups against Microsoft.

The Peruvian Congress has passed a bill that prohibits any public institution from buying systems that tie users into any particular type of software or that limits “information autonomy”.
Public institutions are also barred from having a pre-determined preference for either proprietary software or open-source software.

In realtà quindi si intima allo Stato di non avere pregiudizi sul software e a di non obbligare i cittadini ad usare un certo tipo di software, sia esso open o closed source.

E’ implicito quindi l’uso di standard aperti verso il cittadino, una decisione simile a quella che ha preso anche lo stesso Massachusetts qualche giorno fa… [ lo avevo accennato qui ]

Decisione molto lunga e sofferta, con colpi di scena in questi tre anni…

C’è un’etica dietro molto forte e una capacità di vedere lontano forse ancora maggiore…

E noi ci riteniamo avanti rispetto al Perù? Mah…
