The focus of this project is to educate and encourage developers around the world. Those are the real Heros in WordPress, and that's the reason the project has been named as such.

I am excited to see the potential in this idea. Thousands of people around the world will benefit from this, and I see no overt or covert plans to exclude any demographic; in fact, that appears to be the entire point of this project.

There is a clear calling in the WP community these days for all of us to do what we can to contribute. I think we need to applaud people working to help the community, and look for ways we can do it more in our own lives.

Let's stop being critical of those willing to take big risks with big ideas and look for ways we can contribute to multiply their potential.
