This post is old, but hopefully some of the questions have been answered. I think the issues raised are on point, but not the conclusion. After the merge, users will likely have “options” regarding buddypress, wordpress mu functionality, etc. Future WP development will take BP firmly into consideration and CMS functionality enhanced. What Andy’s done is great and although hackish will get more integrated and elegant over time as the platform supports it. The merge is the first major step.

I think that before the boys over at Automattic spend too much time worrying about BuddyPress or merging WPMU, they might want to take a deep breath and fix the ongoing security holes and upgrade errors that have been affecting us as of late. I’m all for new, amazing features but if the platform is proven to be unstable or vulnerable people will quickly move to something more secure.

DjZone,

Thanks for your opinion. Merging Wordpress and MU is probably a good idea for MU but for Wordpress and Buddypress? It adds up overhead and necessity to hack things even more, which was my main point in this post.

Thanks.

Well, I think I have to disagree with you.

MU is announced to be merged into the WordPress project, therefore your conclusions not leading to the right direction, about these projects.
