For those who have been following me on Twitter, you know I’ve been working on the next version of Ajax Edit Comments.

My goal with Ajax Edit Comments 2.0 is to provide a comment-editing interface independent of themes, and allow blog administrators extreme flexibility when editing comments on a post or in the admin panel.

I have yet to complete the main editing interface, but I have created the foundational code and editing options. The icons are courtesy of Pro Theme Design.

Here’s a brief preview of what I’ve accomplished so far:

Administrators will be able to delete, mark as spam, edit, and unapprove (moderate) comments from a post.

Administrators can edit, mark for moderation, or recover from spam in the Akismet panel.

There is only one admin panel in the new version, which has been a heavily requested feature. This will give you an idea of what new features are coming.

As the plugin nears completion, I’ll start releasing private betas and release candidates. If you’re interested in helping test this out, please leave a comment below. More than likely the new version will be WordPress 2.5x only.
