yea a lite version could be valuable, I am trying to install it on my student directory and there is a limit of 3 megs. so just installing wordpress fills up the directory.

I’d like to see the latest version striped of most of it’s features. Mainly because somebody did some testing and found he made more money from his own handwritten blog platform. Likely due to speed.

A lite version of WP would be welcomed! I would love to see more plugins for WP so that it can be used as a simple CMS as well as a blogging too. What I would really love to see is a plugin that can alter the Dashboard so that it just has the features you want.

Here’s hoping

I have not been using the Pages feature in my personal blog except for a couple of pages like a contact info page, a general bio, a page where feeds appear. However, there are some cases wherein people do use the Pages feature heavily like the one I am helping maintain.

I sort of want a Lite version of WordPress wherein I could just have basic stuff then lots of plugins. Hmmm. Maybe it’s time to go switch to Drupal? Some folks would be recommending that to me as soon as I probably decide to go change my CMS.

[...] Its nice to see my favourite Blogging resource sitewww.bloggingpro.com got a new staff in form of Angelo. Congrats!!. There used to be time when I thought myself to be great as I had some of my theme listed there. But of late many of my themes haven’t made it to site . Maybe I need to improve myself. There have been quite a few good quality posts on the site lately. I especially liked the post on lighter version of WordPress. Personally I would love to have a lite/normal/extreme version with me so that I can use various version for various purposes.

I’d agree with Jeremiah and melz that the page feature should not be one of the first to go– it’s been crucial on all the websites I’ve designed. But there are a great many things WordPress would be better without….

I disagree with your assessment of the Pages feature. This is the key feature that I use on nearly every client project I take on now. The pages feature allows WordPress to be a great content management system for regular, non-blogging sites — or to separate static content from the date-based content.

WordPress is very “lite” as is and development time should not be wasted on stripping out features, but rather improving existing ones. If any existing feature is turned into a plugin, a concept that makes sense, it should be included with the primary distribution, but this is different than making a separate “lite” version.

If you remove the features, most users will never find them.

I already find wordpress lite, you guys are crazy IMO, and unrealistic in your expectations of the developers.

I would like to see a lite version myself – just the basics and plugins if you require a feature.

I would love to see a “lite” version of WordPress too. Make all the “Extra” stuff plug-ins perhaps.

hmmm… I was thinking the opposite and that it was already lite… There are already a bunch of things I wish it did…

[...] Another good point raised at BloggingPro: It makes me wonder if WordPress needs a Lite version. A version that strips WordPress down to just what you needs, and makes everything else an extension you can add if you need it or use it. [...]

I think there is some common consensus amongst the commenters here, I think we mostly all agree that more of the features that are set in the core of wordpress need to be moved to plugins, e.g. post by email, dashboard feeds, and importers.

Doing this would thereby create a Lite version.

I don’t think WP really needs a lite version, but it definitely needs to “get rid of” certain annoying “features”, ie. the dashboard feeds. I rarely even glance at the dashboard and while the stats are nice to see once in awhile, they are of no necessity. The only bookmark I have for WP is the “Post New Entry” link.

Like you, I do not use the rich editor nor want to. But since we can “turn it off”, I don’t think I still remember it’s around.

However, the page feature is (or was?) a unique WP feature and I definitely don’t think it’s disappearing anytime soon. It was one of the main selling points of WP for me once I discovered what I could do with it. In fact, I don’t even have an about page on my blog but I definitely use it for other purposes

I agree Matt, that the killer features are different for most people, but that is part of the reason why plugins are so cool. What about making a more core version allowing each person to add on what they need/want to the core version?

And Dave M. it can get so lite that others have tried to cut down on what is in WordPress…like LitePress.

Litepress looks interesting enough, and I know about it…but I was thinking more along the lines of a Matt Mullenweg approved “version”

I thought WordPress was “lite”. At least compared to CMS’s like Drupal or Movable Type. It’s the plugins that make WP so robust.

How much “lite”er can WP get?

By: Matt

Matt — Wed, 26 Jul 2006 17:46:07 +0000

Everyone has different “killer” features. Most projects approach this problem by modularizing core functionality, but that usually creates more framework bloat which cancels out any benefits the modularization gave. (Think PostNuke.) WordPress is measurably faster than it used to be, and will continue to evolve that way until it’s not possible to do so.

Hmm, wouldn't Lightpress somewhat count as a lite version of WordPress? Admittedly, a lot of stuff has been changed, but if you're talking speed and simplicity, I think Lightpress does walk the walk.
