So this is the future of WordPress. Automattic - the entity controlling Wordpress .org and the WP trademark - can take over *any* plugin that it wants, when they want, and how they want. Automattic is burning the principles of open source for their own profit. A sad, new era.






Looks like I’m officially part of the blocked team. Just a recap of some of what I tried to contribute over the years. I contributed five plugins to #WordPress, including two that were voted the #1 and #3 plugins by users in 2009. The mobile plugin I helped make was the default mobile version on WP.org for a while. I coded the first few iterations of profiles.wordpress.org. I’ve also contributed to core. I organized three WordCamps, two in Vancouver and one in Whistler. I sponsored many others through my business, the majority of which I never even attended. There’s an old saying that when your friends suddenly become your enemies, you should seriously ask yourself why. I still believe in WordPress, I just find the recent actions to be reprehensible and not in the spirit of open source or what I thought was the spirit WordPress.





@wp_acf This has happened several times before, and in line with the guidelines you agreed to by being in the directory: github.com/wordpress/wpor… Best of luck with your version. We're looking forward to making ours amazing for our users, using the best GPL code available.
