• [$] FAIR package management for WordPress

    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Fri Jun 13 06:40:07 2025

    The last year has been a rocky one for the WordPress community. Matt Mullenweg-WordPress co-founder and
    CEO of WordPress hosting company Automattic-started a messy public spat with
    WP Engine in September and
    has proceeded to use his control of the project's WordPress.org
    infrastructure as weapons against the company, with the community
    caught in the crossfire. It is not surprising, then, that on
    June 6 a group of WordPress community participants announced the
    Federated
    and Independent Repositories Package Manager (FAIR.pm) project. It
    is designed to be a decentralized alternative to WordPress.org with a
    goal of building "public digital infrastructure that is both
    resilient and fair".
