Wishlist (or todo list)
Just a note to myself for a list of features I want/need for WordPress. (If one of these already exists, PLEASE let me know! Or if you're planning on working on something similar, let me know that too)
1) Comment Subscription
Like I have running now.
2) Comment "highlight"
(Step 1)The ability to "edit" a comment and add a "tag" that will style it differently than the rest. This is probably most useful on sites like this where in a stream of questions - someone posts a very important answer in the comments, and I want to make sure it stands out for others to see.
(Step 2)Have a few "levels" to that style. ie. VERY important comment. Kinda important comment.
(Step 3)Have comments be "nominated" important by the readers themselves (removing the admin from having to maintain it)
3)The ability to customize which pages show up in the admin edit templates screen.
I'm thinking this needs to be and editable flat file or list from the database where you can add pages/remove pages/edit the path to the pages, etc.
4)The ability to paginate archives. (kind of like the way mt-paginate works)
(I'll add to this list as time goes on)

#3 - you can, as I understand, sort of do this (kind of hackish) but there's no real "create page"-like CMS ability
Yet, anyway. I don't know if it is planned. I know there are several people who'd love it (like me — handle my "includes" etc, right in WP would be awesome).
I like the idea of #4 too. I know you can customize archives, but I don't think pagination is available.

I am switching to WP pretty soon and will likely want to do some pagination. I did a quick once over and it seems like this wouldn't be too hard to adapt to WP.

A multiblog interface would be very nice, along with a proper author mangement system. I wish the admin interface could also be improved… perhaps they need to bring on some magic web designer on board. While wordpress is all css and xhtml goodness, the interface still isn't polished.
A subscribe to comments function is a must have. The pagination plugin for MT kicks ass…

There is already a way to paginate the posts in WP. When creating the post, just use the <!–nextpage–> to separate the content into pages. As far as paginating the list of archives, it would have to be a plugin.

Check out the WP wiki, there's almost a complete list of template tags and whatnot there. http://wiki.wordpress.org/

Can I add a wish to that wish list? *smile* I know it would be low on the list, but just in case you have the time (yeah… right
I was able to do the multiple blog (it was just TO easy) but on the site I set the blog up on, I was using the SG pop up include for pics. Well, now they don't work on the blog.
Any way, could you add that on to your 'to do' list? the popup image include.
Mean while, I'm going to check out your "more" link. (you're so Good and Fast!

I'd give an appendage for #3

I'm gonna have a go at #3 as it's been bugging me as well.

i've been using something for #3 for a couple of weeks.

Well, you can cross #3 off the list — meet "Template Manager".
