There have been a number of interesting developments recently in the WordPress world:
- WordPress and WordPress MU to merge.
- The possibility of making bbPress a WordPress plugin.
- The introduction of canonical plugins.
The implication, if these ideas are implemented, could be that one WordPress installation would be starting point for subsequently setting up WordPress MU, BuddyPress and bbPress on a common base.
The canonical plugins could then provide a number of popular functional extensions to all systems using best practice.
Having a common starting point for all of the WordPress family could make everyone’s life a lot simpler in the future.
