Description:
Automattic has announced that it is reallocating its resources away from contributing to the
WordPress project as a response to the WPEngine lawsuit: As part of this reset, Automattic will match its volunteering pledge
with those made by WP Engine and other players in the ecosystem, or
about 45 hours a week that qualify under the Five For the Future
program as benefitting the entire community and not just a single
company. These hours will likely go towards security and critical
updates. LWN last covered the ongoing WordPress saga in December. [Thanks to Paul Wise for the
heads-up on this latest development.]
