Package: wordpress
Version: 2.0.4-2
Severity: wishlist

I'm still trying to create such a patch, however by default wordpress
uses the ABSPATH to locate themes, which is great for a single site since
since no one else can gain access to another users themes.

In fact in the Debian readme it even suggests to copy users themes into
the shared documents.

What I'm suggesting is a few changes through out the code to add a new
THEMEPATH which will be one directory below in user space.

For example say I have a user example with a domain example.com, and
I have the directory structure setup as:

/home/users/example/example.com

which is a symlink to /usr/share/wordpress

in /home/users/example I store a copy of wp-config.php and
/home/users/example/wp-content/themes/ has 2 symlinks to the default
themes, although you could just symlink any others in the shared
directory.

This should over come security problems with having /etc/wordpress
and it's configuration files (as per readme directions) read/write
by any apache process, since those files contain username and password
information the current system is highly undesirable.
