by on January 18, 2010 Filed in News

As I previously wrote, WordPress and WordPress MU are merging. This is a huge step for WordPress.

Jane wrote a post about the upcoming schedule of how the WordPress merge should take place.

January 7, 2010
  • Identify major features slotted for 3.0
  • Begin merging MU files into trunk
  • Begin development of new default theme
  • Begin development of custom post types feature
  • Begin development of menu management feature
  • Patch bugs
  • Work on patches for small enhancements
January 18, 2010
  • MU file merge should be complete
  • Cutting edge types can start banging on the new MU integration
  • Continue alpha development
February 15, 2010 Feature freeze
**From this point forward, there will be no more commits for enhancements or feature requests in this release cycle, only bug fixes.**
March 1, 2010 Begin public beta
March 29, 2010 Begin RC
April 13, 2010 Launch WordPress 3.0

I am shocked at how quickly they want to get WordPress 3.0 out the door. But, after talking to some of the devs, they reminded me that this is just a rough schedule and it’s a goal, it’s not the definite and final schedule by any means.

If I haven’t emphasized this enough already, I’m super excited about the WordPress 3.0 release :)

    This is great stuff! Playing with the trunk has been surprisingly stable and fun! I’m amazed at the level of activity @ the wordpress trac. The MU side had a small fraction of it.

    Great things coming!
