Great idea on their part… That would be a very neat solution and save people hassle that grow to a multiple blog / user environment

I use both WP and WPMU for different projects. Upgrading WP and WPMU installs, plugins and themes to WP+WPMU 3.0 version would either be blessings or curses :-)

I agree that it will most likely be WordPress 3.0. I don’t use MU but I’ve been wanting to check it out. I just hope that I won’t have to adjust my themes too much when the change does come, as I’d like to convert one of my sites to MU — and I’d especially like to add BuddyPress.

This is great news!

I’ve spent a bit of time thinking about BuddyPress Plugins that “should” be normal WordPress Plugins. Normally I come to the same conclusion “it sucks that I can’t use them”. Followed by “its a damn shame I don’t have the time or resources to do it myself at the moment”. I cant wait for this to happen.

Oh and err speaking of WordCamps… we are gearing up for the first WordCamp in New Zealand. Any help promoting the event would be greatly appreciated. And of course we hope to see you there :)

As a Wordpress user for all my sites, I’m happy to hear this news. I switched to Wordpress because I was tired of doing html sales pages, and Wordpress installed quickly w/Fantastico. I am absolutely not a code junky/techno-genius.

So when I wanted to use WPMU for a grad school project, I hit a huge brick wall w/Fantastico not installing it for me. If WP and WPMU can merge and make my life easier, I say “Thank god!”

Rock n Roll.

Its funny cause last week, I was just thinking how I would love to have multiple blogs under one blog. This could be excellent to help me have one tree under all the branches that complete me on the INternet. I look forward to updates! thank you.

I love WP and WPMU, I use both on several sites
I would just be happy if WPMU updated their script or had some forum (vBulletin) integration built in or via plugin

Oh yes! I so much would love it if this would happen! It is such a pain to maintain all my WordPress based sites up to date (both plugins and the main WP install), while it is currently just difficult for me to set up WordPress MU. I really hope this will be on the top of the development priority list!

How do you all think really real time collaboration products like Etherpad (www.etherpad.com) could best be leveraged within WordPress and the blogosphere more generally? I’m a big fan of WordPress and the communication and collaboration ecosystem it provides and I thought you all might have keen insights on how to make it even more dynamic using really real time collaboration tools.

As a Wordpress user, I think that anything they do to increase performance will help bring a better experience to the user.
