I am very crunched for time today, but tonight I’ll be installing the WordPress 2.5 release candidate on one of my development blogs and give a full report here–probably posted sometime very early Wednesday morning.
From the looks of it, the “Write” section of the dashboard is going to be much improved, which is an area I think WP needed to catch up. Another great new feature will be a customizable dashboard. Both of these features should work out great for me, as one of my projects in the works is going to have scores of contributers. I want to be able to limit the functionality for experienced users and also make it as easy as possible for newer users to contribute using WordPress.
