Role Manager Plugin

I’ve noticed a strange upshoot in new and updated plugins released around the WordPress 2.0 milestone. That’s probably a good thing.

Something that was conspicuously left out of the WordPress core (yes, it was on purpose) was a way to manage Roles as an administrator. Well, add this Role Manager plugin to the list of new WordPress 2.0 plugins.

Not installing WordPress 2.0? Why?

I’ve noticed that a few people aren’t installing WordPress 2.0. Rather, some folks have tried to install it and decided that it wasn’t ready for them yet. Still other people have decided that 2.0 doesn’t offer them anything beyond what they were getting in the 1.5 code beyond an upgrade headache.

I’ve found a few posts online [1, 2, 3, 4] that talk about the problems they’ve had with 2.0 that have caused them to hold off. But rather than dredge up those posts, I figured I would ask directly.
