Improved Post and Page management in WordPress
Managing thousands of posts and dozens of drafts will be much easier in the upcoming WordPress 2.3 thanks to some revamped backend code and admin interfaces.
First, the interface changes. In Manage -> Posts you can currently look for posts by search term, or browse by month or category, but only one of these things at a time.
In WordPress 2.3 (or currently on WordPress.com), you’ll be able to filter by search term, post type (draft, private, scheduled for future publishing, or published), author, month published, and category. You’ll also be able to combine any or all of those filters and do them all at once:
so you’ll be able to ask for all published posts written by Lion-O during May of 2007, filed in the “cartoons from the eighties” category, and matching the phrase “Mumm-Ra, the Ever-Living”. That was a hard list of posts to come by until 2.3.
Manage -> Pages will be getting a similar face lift; you’ll be able to filter by search term, author and page type (draft, private, or published).
Better draft management, in particular, has consistently been one of the most frequently requested improvements in WordPress, and these changes are a big piece of that.
Neat huh?
Secondly, the back end changes. The WP_Query class can now select posts by post_status (draft, future, private, publish). This makes it trivial to use query_posts() and wp() for such queries; no more need for kludgey filters and hacks.
WordPress 2.3 comin’, at you soon. Be there!

[...] En el nuevo WordPress 2.3 (los usuarios de wordpress.com ya disfrutan de ello) los filtros serán ampliados y podrán usarse de manera compuesta gracias al trabajo Michael Adams. Podremos filtrar los post mediante búsqueda, tipo de post (borrador, privado, futuro o publicado), autor, mes publicado y categoría. Podremos hacer uso de uno o varios de estos filtros a la vez, lo que facilitará bastante las cosas. Más información en Improved Post and Page management in WordPress. [...]

Do you think, from the way this is implemented, that it will impact on plugins?
I know impossible to be sure, but some guidance for those of us that have blogs with several plugins would be helpful… any words of wisdom??
thanks

The draft management is fabulous. I have a slew of drafts and I can finally view them intelligently and make some decisions. Tagging, eh, I don’t care so much, but the admin improvements are great.
I miss my del.icio.us plugin, Postalicious. There are a lot of del.icio.us plugins and only one (that I don’t want) is listed on the working-plugin list so far. I hope they get rewritten soon.
Thanks again… draft management was worth the trade-off
