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…
