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.
Wow, that looks very slick.
Yeah. Now I know what I’m going to do in the next months
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!
I’m getting excited with this one. Figuring out where can I utilize this.
Nice site, and the idea looks great. I look forward to it being released, so I can give it a go
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?
This sounds intresting
Nice Idea. And so unexptected, no rumors till _today_ about that. Not bad
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!
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.
Hope this is not April fools.
How come Gravatar not included as a feature?
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?
Looking at it right now. I love the simple layout.
interesting, I’m really waiting for the official release. I have been searching an open source social networking platform for quite a while
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…
Finally, we will have a social networking site powered by awesome wordpress!
Good site. I want to make this type of website. Can you help me??
Snazzy. But, why am I seeing a horizontal scrollbar on the about page?
excellent theme !!
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?
If you have questions, join and ask on the mailing list.
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?
My first comment wasn’t a question… anyway I’m still excited about it.
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.
Cannot wait to use it
Will it be integrated along with Google social API “OpenSocial”
Great stuff Matt, I am looking forward to building some new sites with BuddyPress.

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
