Stefano So another lack of good communication take us to a new round of of bad mood in the WordPress Community. I really think that an urgent message sent to every registered plugin developer and a blog post, even if generic like “any shorcode in the form of …. will stop working” would have avoided a lot of problem to WP user and, moreover, would have avoided another bad mood in the community I really see us who develop plugins, themes and who bulid websites for a living (small or big companies), like partners of the core WP developers, like @Chip Bennet wrote on a comment here. If we raise an issue is because we love WP and we respect who contribute to make it. I’m with WP since the 2004… and I can clearly remember when we, our opinions, our suggestions, were considered as such: maybe wrong but welcome suggestions. Now more and more often I see just answers that have the bad taste of: “we know what we are doing”, “just us know the big pictures, shut up”, “WP is our toy, if you don’t agree… go away”. While I’m sure that it’s not the real sentiment in the core team I sincerely have to say that, moreover for a newcomer, this is the impression they give of them. Please, give us the roadmap of where you are taking WordPress. Maybe this help us understanding the “why” behing some decision… because there is a roadmap, isn’t it?? Tell us if “WP as a small core with just the essential feature extended with plugins” is still the main paradigm. Tell us if the business needs of Automatticc is “features for wp.com first then the rest”, there would be nothing wrong in it since we all benefit for such huge investments. Show us the “big picture”, we need to know it, we need to be part of the journey, not considered merely as (not paying) customers. If I’m not wrong, one of the objective of this year is to reinforce the WP community and it’s organization. Well, I thnk we ALL still have a lot of work to be done. Stefano
