Sorry for big words, but caught a tweet by Justin Tadlock on starting up DevPress. Checked out the site and in css template tags BP is mentioned several times. While this doesn’t account for anything, it could be the site will be built on BP, or even better, they will provide professional BP themes. Professional theme players cranking out UX functionality are so missing in BP Community.

That CSS only includes basic WP styles. I think the ‘bp’ is just coincidence.

[@mercime Participant 16 years ago]

They’re preparing for BP 1.3 most likely, if not sooner. I think it’s cool that Ptah Dunbar has joined Justin’s team as Ptah already had his own http://wpframework.com/. Cooler still, back from a long absence, Tung Do a.k.a. Small Potato of http://www.wpdesigner.com fame is with them as well. Kudos to them all.

It is like having Messi, Fabiano, Iniesta and Robben playing for the same side…

If they’re preparing for 1.3, they’re preparing really, really early.

@DJPaul “… if not sooner”

Just wanted to pop in and say that BuddyPress *is* a part of our plans. Probably not at site launch, but definitely in the works.

Cool!
