If you thought things were slow over at BuddyPress.org, then chances are you’re sick of the tumbleweeds and crickets around this place.
In an effort to spruce things up, I’ve updated the sites plugins to their most current versions (including BuddyPress), installed W3 Total Cache to help speed things up, and we’re testing @r-a-y’s Private Messages for Followers Only plugin, for possible future adoption over on BuddyPress.org to bring back private discussions but prevent solicitations from spam users.
Remember folks, this site is the official test bed for the BuddyPress project. It’s purpose is to be the real world testing ground for plugins that are possible candidates for BuddyPress core, and to test how BuddyPress reacts in large user base and high-activity situations. As such, this site can find itself in a general state of disarray on occasion, but that’s usually a good thing. We recently hit the 20,000 member mark, which makes it a great sized network to test things on.
Once active development starts on BuddyPress 1.3, I’ll be updating this site more frequently with updates from the trunk so we can be sure to get as much mileage out of this site as possible.
