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. ¶

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

Good to hear, Matt. The site looks great (built on Sandbox, as well, awesome). I look forward to seeing what’s next!
deuts | April 1st, 2008 @ 12:38 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 1st, 2008 @ 1:33 am |
This sounds intresting
kapeka | April 1st, 2008 @ 1:41 am |
Nice Idea. And so unexptected, no rumors till _today_ about that. Not bad
Ryan | April 1st, 2008 @ 2:07 am |
That looks very promising. Hopefully it turns out to be as good as it looks.

Great news, congrats!
Digg this!

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 1st, 2008 @ 4:44 am |
Hope this is not April fools.
How come Gravatar not included as a feature?
John | April 1st, 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 1st, 2008 @ 5:05 am |

Good site. I want to make this type of website. Can you help me??
Joshua Goodwin | April 1st, 2008 @ 8:29 am |
Snazzy. But, why am I seeing a horizontal scrollbar on the about page?
Akshay | April 1st, 2008 @ 8:38 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.

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

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 1st, 2008 @ 1:14 pm |
My first comment wasn’t a question… anyway I’m still excited about it.

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
