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.
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.
Ozh’s Admin Drop Down Menu Plugin for WordPress is something that I’ve been waiting for someone else to write for a long time. If you’re not using this, then you’re certainly not a power user.

One of my major psychological problems these days is that I never feel like I have enough time to do anything. And my own particular coping method for this problem is - as odd as this may sound - doing nothing.
