In a word: ClassicPress.. The community is already migrating
- scarecrowbob 8y agoI keep hearing folks say this, but it feels very astroturfed to me... I totally can be wrong about that feeling, but it's my feeling and I own it.
- shinoda 8y agoIronic you mention the astroturfing, as the person you replied to is the creator of ClassicPress ;) The creator likes to namedrop ClassicPress everywhere on the WP.org forums and WPTavern. He's had his posts removed from the wp.org forums due to spam too.
- photomatt 8y agoI was personally surprised to see my face as a "contributor" to ClassicPress, with a link to the Github contributors page that indeed shows my 1,900+ commits... to WordPress. https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5c2b13dae2a33eafd5eab9039ca379dd2e721fa6/68747470733a2f2f6f70656e636f6c6c6563746976652e636f6d2f636c617373696370726573732f636f6e7472696275746f72732e7376673f77696474683d38393026627574746f6e3d66616c7365 https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5c2b13dae2a33eafd5eab9039... https://github.com/ClassicPress/ClassicPress/graphs/contributors https://github.com/ClassicPress/ClassicPress/graphs/contribu... I think it's confusing to screenshot the faces of all the WP developers, put it on your project homepage, and say "This project exists thanks to all the people who contribute." WordPress itself started as a fork so I fully support the importance of forking, but there's a way to acknowledge WP contributors without making it look like we're endorsing your project. Thank you!
