This is the official blog for the core development team of the WordPress open source project. Follow our progress with weekly meeting agendas, project schedules, and the occasional code debate.
http://wordpress.org/about/features/ — This page needs some work, or maybe a rewrite — A few months ago a poor soul was asking at the forum when the pMachine importer will be ready! — I’m willing to help with this.
Maybe it should also be closer to the front page. Now it’s two clicks away.
I’m not sure what to call it exactly—”templating” is too strong a term—but the admin needs to abstract more of the way the markup is generated.
1) Too much stuff is hard-coded
2) Too much stuff is repeated
3) Plugin authors shouldn’t have to make common admin form elements by hand
4) We’re already heading that way somewhat with options registration and media forms

If this can be of any help, there is a previous script for this, which might simply need upgrading to the current codebase/database schema.
It’s works (or at least worked: I used it myself at the time), and it’s free to use (the author tells me it’s GPL or anything you want
).
