Otherwise, that’s it! Enjoy

1. Support Multiple Comics Series.
   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.
2. International language support.
   This is a must and one I’ve considered since v1.0 but I haven’t received any requests for multiple languages and honestly, which ones do I support? Where do I get translators? Would there be any volunteers?
3. Custom Post Type: “Comic.”
   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 might 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.
4. WordPress μ support.
   With the merger of WPMU and WordPress in version 3.0, this is something that I’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

Other possibilities:

• Eliminating the Post New Comic page.
  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.
• Developing CharacterWiki.
  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.

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.
