Many WordPress bloggers, myself included, have been eagerly awaiting the impending release of 2.7. It’s already in its third beta release (the current 2.7 Beta 3 was released on Nov. 15th) and should be ready for production release toward the end of November.

Jane Wells posted this video to show off some of the features coming in 2.7, including a significant dashboard redesign:

The WordPress community and Automattic have always done a great job of getting behind the project not just with code contributions but also with “marketing” contributions, helping spread the word about new releases and new features.

What if every significant new release of an open source project came with an embeddable, distributable video screencast walking through the new features? Might lead to better upgrade activity across the community.
