Automattic backing BuddyPress

[Jeff Waugh]

Interesting outcome:

"Some of you may remember when I wrote about Chickspeak, a WordPress
MU-based social network. Andy Peatling, the fellow behind it, later
decided to recreate the work he had done as an Open Source effort he
called BuddyPress. And it was good.

"Today I’m happy to announce that Andy has joined Automattic full-time and
we’ll be taking the BuddyPress project under our wing. We will grow it and
support it the same way we support WordPress, MU, bbPress, Akismet, and
more."

I saw that Jeff, and I actually posted on the WPMU forums where there
was a discussion about it and Andy commented. Trying to push him in
the direction of supporting DiSo as part of the BuddyPress development
