Well almost, you may remember a while back I talked about a complete redesign of the Wordpress admin panel that has been codenamed ‘Shuttle‘. The team seem to have been working on this for ever and from the pictures it’s gonna be a big improvement on the standard set up at the moment. The hard work, sweat and toil appears to have paid off and the design is now (Photoshop) complete, though my understanding is that there is still some way to go implementing the code. Check out the pictures on Khaled’s Broken Kode.
While this looks slated for an official release, there is still much work needed implementing this. I am no coder but if you can offer your help to this open source project, I am sure Matt Mullenweg (lead developer of Wordpress), could use the help. What I am prepared (and able) to do, is as much testing is needed to get this moving. While likely to be available in beta releases, I can’t help think the benefit of releasing this as a plugin initially would not only iron out any bugs but also provide helpful usability and accessibility feedback. Fingers crossed anyway.
