I can’t help but think that a generic baysian classifier would be very useful. Imagine the following:

• “Spamminess” ratings on all comments, trackbacks, pingbacks, etc in the comments view
• Auto categorization. You hit post–Wordpress decides where it goes, prompts you if there’s an ambiguity. Either based on categories that you define, or by adding its own new categories
• Searching and archive views
• Related posts functionality

I wish I didn’t have so much homework….

   * sort all postings by author, category or any other combined criteria
   * simple switch to take the blog, comments or trackback offline
