What the heck is going on with WordPress?
If you are even remotely connected to the WordPress community, and unless you have been living under a rock, or off the grid, you know that since the closing keynote of WordCamp US last week, there’s been a lot of turmoil.
As it is unfortunately often the case in our era where information is cheap, but also hard to verify, it is very difficult to understand precisely what is going on, and how seemingly completely separate things relate to each other.
After reading a lot of nonsense over the past days, I would like to offer an explanation as simple as I can. I hope it will be useful to the many people out there who may not fully understand the situation, and are intelligent enough to realize that. If you think you know everything, and your opinion can’t possibly be challenged, let’s save ourselves some time, you are free to stop reading here.
I am Paolo Belcastro, I have been using WordPress since 2004. I have been an active member of the WordPress community since 2011 after joining Automattic. Yes, I work for Automattic, and like all my colleagues I am entitled to my opinions, and that’s what I express here.
