- chii 2y agonot really - there's a lot of existing investment in wordpress which would be lost if this is the case. I think it's better for wordpress community to push out Mullenweg, and establish a community owned source. It is both a fork, but not just of the source code. I think surviving this sort of disaster makes the whole stronger/resilient in the future. Starting anew will surely just have history repeat.

- gigatexal 2y ago“Something better will emerge” could be a libre fork of the project without him. He is the problem. But also technically it would be (inertia not withstanding) good if the project were replaced with something else, something better. Django with plugins could be made to look like and work similar to Wordpress I bet.

- aitchnyu 2y agoI'm a Python fan condescending on PHP, but doesnt the world still depend on deploying instantly via FTP and cheap hosts enjoying the low overhead of a 100000 sites on a server? On the other hand, cheapest Namecheap and Digitalocean plans are neck to neck on first glance.

- gigatexal 2y agoI like FreePress or LibrePress
