Shuttle Project: WP Admin Panel Redesign

Here’s a really nice ongoing project for WordPress — Shuttle Project.

The Shuttle is a complete beautification of the WordPress Administration Panel. The project has been in development since early 2005. The images below effectively show the future of the WordPress administration panel. These are the images we did on Photoshop, so there is no plugin for you to download, as it’s not been incorporated into the final release yet.

One of the beautiful things about this project was the collaborative effort from people of completely different backgrounds, in completely different countries all working for one goal. 1000s of emails were exchanged between myself, Michael Heilemann (of Binary Bonsai), Joen Asmussen (of Noscope), Chris J Davis (of Chrisjdavis), Bryan Veloso (of Avalanstar), Joshua Sigar (of alphaoide), Matt Mullenweg (of Photomatt) and Ryan Boren (of Boren).

WordPress Shuttle Project Check out the screenshots here. They are awesome and really practical revisions.

I’ve actually hacked my own WP 1.5.2 Dashboard to work something like this (which is why it’s hard for me to upgrade to WP 2.0.2)

Here’s what I would have wanted to add to that existing design:

Add Technorati blog stats in the Dashboard (i.e. Technorati Rank, links and sites linking in)
Add search post and search comments feature in dashboard.
Add pagination in Post/Comment Management and option to show number of posts to display per page (default now is 20 I think).
Add most viewed posts today, this week and this month.

The design is already good for me.

Hey there would you mind letting me know which hosting company you’re utilizing?
I’ve loaded your blog in 3 completely different web browsers and I must say
this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a
good web hosting provider at a honest price? Cheers, I appreciate it!
