Reply To: What is the most important thing BuddyPress is missing?
You’re welcome @dimensionmedia. No worries I understood your point 😁. I won’t talk more about this subject here and focus on BuddyPress instead. You made a very good point about the WordPress Plugins directory:
Ok, so if the WordPress repo is our advantage – then how do we use that advantage? how do we stand out (from member sites and other social plugins)? how do we feature BB plugins that are trust worthy and maintainable that avoid people having to dive into thousands of plugins in this “important advantage”? Good questions, looking forward to hearing more from people about them.
You’re right, I believe we can try to help Users with this kind of shortcuts:
But we’d need more contributors to test/review BuddyPress plugins, which is maybe a too big dream I’m doing, I agree 😇
What I was meaning, was: It’s possible to transform optional components into plugins and preserve the current user experience and only install what they need, thanks to the WordPress.org API.
Another advantage of being into WordPress.org plugins directory are updates (semi or fully automatic). The Plugin team is also doing a great job to eventually “suspend” plugins in case of security issues or wrong behaviors.
