Are you using the "Turbo" feature which hooks into Google Gears, speeding up WordPress? As for changing the permalink structure to include categories, that's one that I've argued over for a long time, but the problem lies outside of WordPress. See this discussion with Dougal Campbell and WordPress experts on why.

I would like it to be faster. And, more flexible to remove or change the default category base from permalinks.

What do you mean by WordPress “should offer” easy use of multiple sidebars. WordPress Theme designers are the ones to talk to when it comes to sidebars, though WordPress is working on making the use of sidebar widgets cross the sidebar barrier. WordPress doesn’t control sidebar availablity. WordPress Themes do.

Dreamweaver and other WYSIWYG tools are used, unfortunately, by many to create WordPress Themes. The design and development of site designs are not really the responsibilty of WordPress, but of the site owners, administrators, and designers. Many get confused about that.

Love the site, in my mind there are about 2-3 branded WordPress related portals that are up to date with everything WP, and this is one of them.

I personally think that WP should offer easy use of multiple sidebars. I was thinking that they were supposed to be integrating this already….so maybe I missed how to do this, or maybe it is that the feature itself isn’t obvious or as intuitive as it should be.

I would like to see the WYSIWYG to have the option to act more like a Dreamweaver, or another development tool, somehow doing code completion, or a contextual menu or buttons to insert reused snippets of code at a one button press…

Functionality similar to the_excerpt_reloaded built in would be awesome.

@Dennis: You can already make any post or Page private right on the Write Post/New Post panel. Did you want more than that? You can make your whole blog private, too.

@reed: Like many of the other suggestions on this list, there are tons of WordPress Plugins that do this for you already. WordPress is not in the business of the business of blogging – they leave monetization up to you and your favorite WordPress Plugin authors.

User access management to posts or pages would be nice! Would be nice to be able to keep some stuff private
