The very clear point made here that should have shut all this noise down in the first place is that WPE is not obligated in any way to contribute back to Automattic (private biz) or the WordPress foundation (non profit). Complete shakedown by Matt that should be making all of us think very carefully about the future of the Wordpress platform as a whole. If one guy that runs a private business that also happens to be tied to a nonprofit that runs a widely used platform (yes, that does sound like a mess) decides that he’s not getting his way regarding your business that makes money off of the ecosystem (there are thousands), then he can throw a fit and shake them down too.

The platform isn’t perfect and has its warts, but it does fill a need that works for a lot of use cases. There’s a reason why so much of the web is using it. This drama has been making me give serious thought to completely abandoning the platform and recommending to everyone else that they do the same though.

Gottttteeeeeeem

Officers eat Troi cake and Sigmund Freud tells Data to kill everyone.

I’m a developer, and WooCommerce, in my opinion, is pretty great. Just like Wordpress, if you look at it more like a development framework, is pretty flexible on what it can do. If you’re not a developer and don’t want to touch code, just buy the plugins you need and go from there. Pretty nice compromise tool between flexibility and ease, although if you have a really tiny budget, the plugins can add up.

No one wants a hug from Alexander. He was thinking of Troi. Possibly Gowron.

I used Cloudflare for other things, but looks like I can’t use their registrar services unless I use a “full setup” (explained here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/registrar/get-started/transfer-domain-to-cloudflare/). We have quite a few domains that point to our organization’s name servers. Have you used outside name servers with Cloudflare before?
