By the action of one will the many be brought low
Written 31 Mar 2005
The story finally hit Slashdot: a Wordpress developer uses unethical means to raise money for the site/project. While WordPress the project and software will continue, the blight this action caused undermines not only the integrity of the project as a whole, but the person that perpetrated this. Rather than using the various, well-proven, methods for raising funds he turns to a search engine spamming company. It will take a lot for the project to repair their reputation and after this act.
