@Mark McWilliams - Well, in an unofficial sort of way, it was. Matt was instrumental in helping out Mark launch the site and was fully supportive of the idea. While it wasn't technically owned and operated my WordPress.org, you wouldn't know it over the past 3-5 years. Because of Matt's involvement with the project and sometimes the official links in the footer of some of the WordPress.org websites, I always felt it was part of the WordPress project even if it didn't look the part.
