I read an interesting post today about WordPress plugin users being ungrateful.

To be honest, I don’t know what Jeff (the author of that post) is talking about. All the people that leave comments here have a grateful attitude, or are at least polite.

Actually, I want to thank them:

  • the people who report bugs or post suggestions
  • the people who make translations
  • the people who spread the good word on their sites, on twitter etc.
  • the people who simply make a small donation
  • the people who offer me paid work

You guys rock! This site would probably not even be here, if it weren’t for you. Thanks!

    I just noticed quite a few WordPress faithful who were telling me that often times, they feel as if they are disrespected in the community. So I thought it was a good time to try and bring this up to a wider audience to see if we can’t show plugin authors the same love we all show WordPress. Again, this not an entire community disregarding plugin authors but a minority which seems to be growing based on the people I have talked to.

      I understand. I’m not saying you’re off track, just observing that it’s not happening around here.

      I think the people who are really not getting the attention they deserve are the ones writing patches for the WordPress core.

    Having a plugin that break a theme or doesn’t make the the stuff we expected can be annoying sometimes…
    That’s why reporting a bug is a delicate exercice of courtesy :) !
