Easier updating with Wordpress
I’ve been pleased to see the inclusion of an update warning in recent versions of Wordpress when new versions are released. Coupled with the plugins page that now tells you when updates are available for your installed addons the system is becoming a lot easier for the non technical user to maintain, even if they ultimately have to seek help with the process. Working on a web host’s helpdesk, it’s obvious that half the problem with old script installs is that the site owner isn’t aware updates are required.
I’m looking forward to the day when Wordpress can also have the option to update itself (for example as Simple Machines Forum can do, by feeding it your FTP details), just to make it a little harder for users to ignore
