Hackers Highlight 19 April 2009
Welcome to the weekly Hackers Highlight, showcasing various interesting information that happened in the last week of WordPress hacker’s mailing list, wp-hackers. You can also follow the mailing list via the Google Group front-end here.
Did you know the WordPress 24-Hours Has-Patch Marathon a few days before? Here’s a little inside story of what happened in wp-hackers.

Stephen Rider suggested that it is better to revert from using the word “Appearance” back to “Design” inside the Dashboard.

Demetris suggested using the word “Layout” instead. What do you think?
Here’s a discussion on using the WP_Query() to display posts with a certain search term.
