Thanks for the awesome feedback guys. I’ll try to be there on a weekly basis and provide these cliff notes at the end of each meeting. If you can make it to one of these, I highly encourage it as it’s a blast.

Looks like some intriguing features here. Interesting to see that a post excerpt thumbnail is potentially making it into core…but still in the form of a custom field, I guess disguised as a meta box.

Not really sure how this improves any current functionality via a plugin or a theme’s individual code. Maybe so many blogs have a post thumbnail now it is deemed essential?

Thanks for the recap Jeffro. I’m looking forward to post types and media metadata.

But now mention of the integration of MU with regular WordPress?

Hey Jeffro,

I just wanted to say thanks for doing these posts – I can’t get to the IRC meetings, but I’m interested in what’s said, so your summaries are great reading for me.

Built in post thumbnails would be great. Either that or include Justin Tadlock’s Get The Image plugin. Either way theme will probably need to jump on this bandwagon.

I like the idea of more embedding support.

Thanks for being there to report on this stuff for those of us who aren’t able to check it out!

Sound like some interesting features coming down the pipe. A bulk media uploader would be really handy.
