I have a number of whishes to be natively implemented in WordPress, even in a simple way, as they do with the tag system. Some of those feature are available with plugins. I think it would be much better if they were native.
- More SEO oriented: it is easy to add 2 db fields for posts and pages to keep the meta title and description with a couple of function to retreive them (and if empty rolling back to the post title and the post excerpt). For categories, too, can be useful to have those two fileds.
- A complete and clear documentation of what is inside WordPress that can be useful for plugin writer: many plugins have tons of code that can be avoided using the functions of wordpress.
- Best practies for plugin writer: many plugins can be extremely simplified and optimized usingthe wordpress functions in the right way
- A "raw" editor for "raw" posts. Sometime I need to create a pure HTML post, with JavaScript and so on. I need a way to say: this post is "raw" and it will be opened with a textarea (never with the editor) and won't be processed by the texturize plugin.
- A quick category changer. A way to change the categories of the posts just from the posts list, withoutopen every post with the editor. I think it would be very easy with AJAX.
