Matt drops a link to Khaled's announcement about Shuttle, a long-term project to overhaul the WordPress admin UI. Looking it over (and as someone who participated from afar some time ago) I have to say that I actually prefer Steve Smith's WP Tiger Admin. I use it on this blog and love it. There are a few glitches here and there, but for the most part it's a huge improvement over WordPress' old school default. In any case, it's great to see such major changes coming to WordPress -- I just hope that it maintains the original simplicity that makes WordPress so widely successful.
