These are (almost) done:

  • consider moving class definitions out of multi-1000-line files that contain functions (via svn cp) and into their own files - this would make autoloading possible via a classmap (there are plenty of reasons to not do this, just saying it would be possible)
  • WP_Comment (here)

Rewrite some internals as classes and cleanup some project quirks

  • plugin API overhaul via WP_Hook and friends
  • More models: WP_Term (over here)
