Comments on: All busy on the WPMU Plugin competition front http://wpmu.org/busy-wpmu-plugin-competition-front/ WordPress, Multisite & BuddyPress plugins, themes, news and reviews and special offers from the team at WPMU.org Tue, 22 May 2012 05:16:36 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: MrBrian http://wpmu.org/busy-wpmu-plugin-competition-front/#comment-317 MrBrian Sat, 23 Aug 2008 22:56:01 +0000 http://wpmu.org/?p=149#comment-317 James and Andrew give back to the community a lot with free stuff and with a great plugin competition, so it's all good. Some of the stuff that goes premium is a little ridiculous and should probably be free, but they are completely in the right to charge for some of what they create. I would be singing a different tune though if everything they did had a price tag, since WPMU is free and most of the community does not charge for their contributions.

And that if you weren't paid for that job, then I doubt you'd show up. Not that you would necessarily be all nasty, you might help people our without getting paid by providing some of your services or what it is you do for free, but at the end of the day, you've gotta make a crust, right? Well, WPMU plugins, projects and associated work are our crust. This site, running wordcamps, wpmudev.org, the free plugins we release there, my theme packs and plenty more - that's for free - and I couldn't be happier about it. But somehow we gotta make a living, right? Well Tim, I’m guessing that you have a job? And that if you weren’t paid for that job, then I doubt you’d show up.

This site, running wordcamps, wpmudev.org, the free plugins we release there, my theme packs and plenty more – that’s for free – and I couldn’t be happier about it.

But somehow we gotta make a living, right?

How Unfortunate.
