Re: I gave buddypress a try
I hope there can be, suggest and encourage, a rapid evolution from “plugins” to “modules”.
It is not possible to investing oneself in building a community dependent on third party plugins and it is unethical of anyone to do so.
I can understand individuals dislike of bloat, although often it is just posturizing these day. I agree that the likes of phpBB is too bloated, which is why I write modules that can be removed by switched off like a plugin … but so many key elements are dependent on third parties who cannot be expected to keep up with development cycles or lifetime commitment.
How and where is Automattic handling the adoption of such plugins into the core maintenance?
Thanks.
