New BuddyPress Site

Asides

The new BuddyPress site is up and includes the key ingredients of an open source project: mailing list, bug tracker, and SVN. No official release of anything yet, but if you’re interested in following the development you should join the mailing list. The site itself is, of course, powered by WordPress.

    Looks great Matt, can’t wait for the first release. :)

  • Viper007Bond March 31, 2008 @ 11:34 pm

    Wow, that looks very slick.

  • Pixline March 31, 2008 @ 11:38 pm

    Yeah. Now I know what I’m going to do in the next months :-)

  • Thaya Kareeson April 1, 2008 @ 12:08 am

    Turning WordPress MU into a social networking CMS is a great idea! I’m definitely interested in following its development.

  • Ryan Imel April 1, 2008 @ 12:32 am

    Good to hear, Matt. The site looks great (built on Sandbox, as well, awesome). I look forward to seeing what’s next!

  • deuts April 1, 2008 @ 12:38 am

    I’m getting excited with this one. Figuring out where can I utilize this.

  • George April 1, 2008 @ 12:39 am

    Nice site, and the idea looks great. I look forward to it being released, so I can give it a go :)

  • Evan April 1, 2008 @ 12:55 am

    Great to see this up finally, but I have questions, where do I direct them? Could we get a FAQ started maybe? Or even a forum?

  • DjZoNe April 1, 2008 @ 1:33 am

    This sounds intresting :)

  • kapeka April 1, 2008 @ 1:41 am

    Nice Idea. And so unexptected, no rumors till _today_ about that. Not bad ;-)

  • Ryan April 1, 2008 @ 2:07 am

    That looks very promising. Hopefully it turns out to be as good as it looks.

    I’m just about planning and searching for a good social network script for my youth organization that I’d be founding, this is just what I need!
    WP is getting better and better!

  • Stas S. April 1, 2008 @ 3:45 am

    Great news, congrats!
    Digg this!

  • Muhammad April 1, 2008 @ 4:25 am

    Finally…..I wait it for so long. Why don’t you just integrate the plugins with WP-MU. I think it will be much easier.

  • Khairil April 1, 2008 @ 4:44 am

    Hope this is not April fools.

    How come Gravatar not included as a feature?

  • John April 1, 2008 @ 5:03 am

    Wow! I’ve been following you guys for a long time and was wondering when you were going to bring the site back up…

    Any possible word on the first stable public release?

  • Yogi April 1, 2008 @ 5:05 am

    Looking at it right now. I love the simple layout.

  • ganes April 1, 2008 @ 5:12 am

    interesting, I’m really waiting for the official release. I have been searching an open source social networking platform for quite a while

  • Andreas April 1, 2008 @ 6:26 am

    Can’t wait for Buddypress to be advancing! You realise how much pain you are putting us through? The devil of excitement is out, hunting…

  • Harry April 1, 2008 @ 6:41 am

    Finally, we will have a social networking site powered by awesome wordpress!

  • Pinku April 1, 2008 @ 7:54 am

    Good site. I want to make this type of website. Can you help me??

  • Joshua Goodwin April 1, 2008 @ 8:29 am

    Snazzy. But, why am I seeing a horizontal scrollbar on the about page?

  • Akshay April 1, 2008 @ 8:38 am

    excellent theme !! ;)

  • Michael April 1, 2008 @ 9:00 am

    I was just chatting to some of the guys over at http://www.equatorlive.com – they use WordPress Mu for their company blog platform and from what I was hearing they’re pretty up for using this as a way to improve their blogging platform.

  • Billy Dennis April 1, 2008 @ 11:53 am

    As the operator of a WPMU site, I am very enthusiastic about this. One question: Will this work on an existing WPMu installation?

  • Matt April 1, 2008 @ 12:31 pm

    If you have questions, join and ask on the mailing list.

  • Joel de Bruijn April 1, 2008 @ 1:08 pm

    So, when I want my own group twitter clone, I just take BuddyPress with the Prologue-theme… Who’s going to write a plugin to make following between twitter-clones possible?

  • Christopher April 1, 2008 @ 1:14 pm

    My first comment wasn’t a question… anyway I’m still excited about it.

  • Brian April 1, 2008 @ 7:19 pm

    Hey Matt looks nice. Now stop makin’sexy themes and get back to buddy press ;)

    Just bustin’yer chops. Can’t wait to see what the next few weeks brings.

  • Imthiaz April 1, 2008 @ 9:34 pm

    Cannot wait to use it :-) Will it be integrated along with Google social API “OpenSocial”

  • SiteHoppers April 2, 2008 @ 6:28 am

    Great stuff Matt, I am looking forward to building some new sites with BuddyPress.

    Max

  • Rokwan April 5, 2008 @ 7:32 pm

    Absoluteley marvelous. *Theme* driven innovation. Love it.

    One thing — “Extended Profiles” is THE key to any CMS seeking to satisfy basic CRM or social networking requirements. Is there anything like this for the standard WP?

    Thanks
