In reply to Brajesh Singh.

Thank you for saying that. I have been involved with the development of at least three other "alternatives". I left for the very reason of them refusing to follow WordPress standards and because they would not open up to others helping to expand their projects.

That is why I returned to BuddyPress in the first place. And really, with as many sites as are running BuddyPress I doubt anything is going to be substantial enough to make them change.

For new projects, sure, but established sites tend not to shift too much.

I do hope this project gains ground because they seem to be very open to extendability. It's in their interest to do that. I don't understand "developers" in the WordPress community who refuse to work to make a more robust and option filled community of plugins.

Thanks for speaking up @Brajesh Singh. For someone who uses BuddyPress and is involved with the BuddyPress development, it seemed fairly well balanced.
