One interesting new feature coming up in WordPress 3.0 will be the Menu Management as we discussed earlier. This feature will allow any user to configure on the WP Admin a new menu including items such as pages, categories and links.

One of the more interesting actions in visual interfaces is the ability to drag an object and drop it on a selected target. Pretty much like what we do in real life at the supermarket. Grab a beer – drag to cart – drop it in the cart. But there are attributes in the product that it would be interesting to unveil in an application. For example, when you grab a beer you can feel if it’s cold or not, and when you get to the checkout you pay the price of the bottle, which is a hidden attribute of the bottle.
