Hi @coolhunt

I don’t think such a resistance exists.

The first thing you need to introduce a change is the will to contribute to it and we, the BP core team members, will always spend energy to make this change happen in a safe way for all BP end users.

Some can consider we failed at listening to community needs.. I personally find it very unfair and very demotivating for me and the team. I can tell you I’ve tried at many occasions to let the community tell us what they need:

– Call for feature ideas, ticket fixes etc… Only the BP core team members contributed to this call.
– I tweet, post on bpdevel.wordpress.com before each development meeting to invite people to join and raise their voice.
– I’ve organized codex documentation contribution meetings for 6 months, only the BP core team members joined these meetings : improving documentation needs a lot more contributors.
– the last time we organized a survey we got 40 replies. One need was raised : Media in BuddyPress and I am working on it.

With so few inputs, we’re trying to guess according to what we notice using BuddyPress.

I think we can close this thread: we had interesting inputs, I’ve read/listen to everyone who expressed here. Now it’s time to DO 😉.

I will soon write a post recap to share how we will schedule the making of ideas / needs you all shared with us.

Thanks again 👍
