The MU forums have moved to WordPress.org

What is the future of MUWP and how different from WP? (5 posts)

    MUWP is perfect for my needs, and of course one of the benefits is that it is open source. However, I'm wondering how it ties in with regular WP.

    Can we expect regular WP extensions to work?

    Will the two versions diverge when WP moves to a new version?

    Are the author(s) of MUWP attempting to keep it future compatible with a roadmap for regular WP?

    Keep up the good work. This is an amazing contribution to the opensource community.

    Thanks.

    -Some of them :) Most with hacking!

    -Doesn't look like it, from what I can tell WPMU is basically WP with hacks & MU... also Matt & Donncha's involvement will keep these babies pretty close I should imagine.

    Are the author(s) of MUWP attempting to keep it future compatible with a roadmap for regular WP?

    -See above

    Probably the best gauge of where this is going (at least in part) is http://wordpress.com

    Cheers, James

    WPMU uses the next milestone version of WP, which isn't even available as an official beta.

    These answers seems good :-)

    >>>WPMU uses the next milestone version of WP, which isn't even available as an official beta.

    Does this mean most extensions won't work at the moment. Perhaps even WP extensions will break on an milestone version.

    Some work, some don't... mostly this is due to MU facilities rather than anything to do with MU.

    We could do with a working list of plugins & pestering plugin authors to come over and adapt.
