Glad to see more pro coders helping with wordpress, if ya'll get a few extra hours, buddypress could use some help too! and that could put the screws to fcbook if someone makes an easy to deploy droplet / docker / nextcloud like thing with a few plugins and anti-spam / privacy settings. Unfortunate that this announcement has the cloud of Google over it. Just about anything google is untrusted and tarnished, not just in the tech circles that know how it profits at the expense of others, but more and more by average people who are getting a clue that google today is nothing like it once was, or once tried to make itself be perceived anyway. More and more searches are censored, more ads on screen and less of the interesting things to find, services killed off, no customer service, frustrated web site owners... I still have a smidgen of hope for google fiber, but the rest of the brand is not much different than fcbook in my mind, and many others are starting to see the tech companies that put money ahead of giving people what they really expect. This announcement would get more exiting cheers if it read "ex-googlers team of engineers to help dev wordpress" Of course we all wonder if the politics that hit the browsers and standards will come to play - but honestly it would make sense to help shore up a product that runs so much of the web, even if google wasn't trying to get it's claws deeper into other software - just producing faster sites that are hacked less will help with the google search results - so just that alone is win win win. I'm cleaning up hacked wp sites tonight actually, yay.
