Thanks for pulling all this together and giving it a coherent form Jeff. There's a lot more to our community than Automattic and its favoured partners. JJJ's tweet storm demonstrates that clearly. Those who would criticize JJJ harshly, please do not forget that this is the guy who carried both bbPress (1 & 2) and BuddyPress across the finish line. We use bbPress daily in our work and are profoundly grateful to enjoy a clean forum integration with WordPress.
