Just want to share the slides that I prepared for reference of other people who might need to do a LMS presentation.

Credit to Epignosis for my original content reference during the preparation of this material.

New features for this release that caught my attention includes:

• Multi-site support – Can support multiple sites in a single installation. Merged with MU.
• New default theme – After 4 years, they are now replacing their default to one they called “Twenty Ten” to take advantage of the new features of this release. They named it as such so they will remember next year that they have to update it again and the 4 year waiting period will be avoided.
• Custom menu management facility – allows creation of custom menus combining posts, pages, categories, tags, and links for use in theme menus or widgets.
• Support for shortlinks – Generate tiny url for your article
  
• Bulk upgrade of plugins – Time saver for us who manage it
  
• Custom taxonomies and post types

Here’s a video tour of the version 3 release

If you have enough time to watch, see also the video below. It’s Matt Mullenweg’s (founder of WordPress) speech at the WordCamp San Francisco. It’s a good experience to listen direct from the people who created our favorite things and to be like in the same room with them.

The only lacking member of the gang now is Chrome. I’m wondering how I can use this for my site.
