			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My first two ideas for Manga+Press 2.7:<span id="more-323"></span></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Support Multiple <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">Comics</span> Series.</strong><br />
I need to decide which term makes more sense. A series should refer to a  group of comics related to each other by storyline, so if you have  comics with two different storylines, that would be two different  series. If I do this, that would mean I would have to rethink how  Manga+Press handles its categories.</li>
<li><strong>International language support.</strong><br />
This is a must and one I&#8217;ve considered since v1.0 but I haven&#8217;t received  any requests for multiple languages and honestly, which ones do I  support? Where do I get translators? Would there be any volunteers?</li>
<li><strong>Custom Post Type: &#8220;Comic.&#8221;</strong><br />
If I do this, that practically means that 2.7 will not be supported by  WordPress 2.9. The next version of WordPress is supposed to feature  custom post types and if that happens, that <em>might</em> eliminate the  need for a database table to keep track of the comics, or at the very  least, it would eliminate the need for a custom meta field.</li>
<li><strong>WordPress μ support.</strong><br />
With the merger of WPMU and WordPress in version 3.0, this is something  that I&#8217;m going to have to look at. Last fall, I ran a test with  Manga+Press 2.5 and WPMU and for the most part, it worked just fine  except for one problem: the comic banner cache. The only thing I can  think of is integrating TimThumb further into Manga+Press</li>
</ol>
<p>Other possibilities:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Eliminating the Post New Comic page.</strong><br />
With being able to add your comics through the Add New Post page, the  Post New Comic page is probably unnecessary. On the other hand, if I add  multiple series support.</li>
<li><strong>Developing CharacterWiki.</strong><br />
CharacterWiki would have to work with Manga+Press: different  series=different characters. Once again, this would be a WordPress  3.0-only feature because I can see how custom Post Types can be used for  this feature.</li>
</ul>
<p>So these are my current ideas for the next version of Manga+Press. Feel free to comment if you have any other ideas for features that can be included in the next version.</p>
