Taxonomy Roadmap

Led by: boone, pento

Posts: https://make.wordpress.org/core/tag/taxonomy/

Based on my call for feedback, a lot of people want to see Term Meta land. Good for us: it’s already on our Taxonomy Roadmap.

  • Fix the most annoying bug in WordPress is done
  • Step 1 is done
  • Step 2 is done
  • Step 3 is done

Things to do next:

  • Potentially combine the 2 terms tables
  • MySQL bump for 5.0 to 5.0.3 for Views which may be a prereq for …
  • Do something like setting $wpdb->terms to $wpdb->term_taxonomy
  • Hopefully land a WP_Term model
  • make Term Meta a thing

boone has been crushing all of this stuff. The next logical step is to keep going.
