Liz Danzico of Happy Cog Studios spoke today about her consulting with Automattic on the design of the WordPress admin interface.
As with so many of the presentation today, I’m really hoping the slides will be published soon, as there are some great ideas coming out.
Liz spent a lot of time watching WordPress users at blog. [...]
Scriblio is based on WordPress, an open source content management system, and the community that uses, supports, and builds it is what makes it great. WordCamp started last year, when the community was about 750,000, and it’s even more important now that it’s grown to nearly two million.
