lack of plugin development

I like modifying my buddypress install, but many of the plugins are really old and not working anymore.
The plugins of etivite had some nice ideas, but they are over 3 or more years old
https://profiles.wordpress.org/etivite/#content-plugins

In wordpress there is a great community and thousend of great plugins.

Is there no such community for buddypress and bbpress?

Do plugins coder not use any forum and community software ?
Or do you use a different software?

Thanks
Matthias

Hi @matthias70

There are quite a lot of active BuddyPress plugin developers out there, although you’re right in that there’s not as many BuddyPress plugin developers as there are WordPress plugin developers.

Both kinds of developers overlap, so feel free to put plugin ideas out there, and who knows, maybe a BuddyPress dev (or a WordPress dev) will decide to build something.

Hi @henrywright
It would be great, if buddypress plugins older than three years would be updated 😉
And I would like to see member profile stats
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-member-profile-stats/
and community stats
https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress-community-stats/

But is this the right place for plugin ideas?
Thanks
Matthias

I heard recently at WordCamp London that the WordPress core team are considering introducing a button on abandoned plugins that lets developers register their interest in maintaining them. I’m not sure if that will happen but if it does then there is a chance that some of the older plugins that no longer work could be updated.

Sounds like a good idea 🙂
