August 17, 2009 Good question from Frederick Townes (aka w3edge):
@wpmuorg wondering if there’s going to be another competition this year?
And quick answer… there sure is!
In fact, we have two contests scheduled for the latter part of this year, first up there’s the 2009 WordPress MU / BuddyPress plugin contest (check out the 2008 plugin contest here) and then there’s the 2009 WordPress MU / BuddyPress site contest after that (check out the 2008 site contest here).
I’m guessing we’ll run the plugin contest in September (I like to wait until the WLTC contest is over) and the site contest in November.. sound cool?
