Wordpress 3.0 will have Merged Wordpress MU and Wordpress

Wordpress team has already started working on Wordpress 3.0 version of this awesome platform. There are lot many new features expected to come in Wordpress 3.0 and as we dug more into the current development, we found below details about the progress,

Wordpress 3.0 Development: Tickets

• Total Number of Tickets : 383 (as on 26’th Dec 2009)
• Active Tickets : 348
• Closed Tickets: 35
• High Priority Tickets: 13
• Normal Tickets: 328

One major upgrade which is expected to come in 3.0 is the merge of Wordpress and Wordpress MU. Which means you will be able to install multiple sites on your normal wordpress installation as part of expansion. Currently if you want to expand your reach by adding multiple sites on your normal wordpress installation, you will have to install a new copy of wordpress each time. But after the release of Wordpress 3.0, that expansion will be much easier.

Since Wordpress is an open source platform running by many developers out there, you may also put your request for new features in a thread opened by Wordpress Team. Here is the link for the same,
