Possible site speed-up feature

The news is that WordPress released a performance plugin that could offer “Near-Instant Load Times”. Danny pointed this one out to me. It looks good.

I’m considering adding it to Author Buzz. What are your thoughts on that?

The other option is to wait and see if WordPress adds this feature to core after testing.

An incomplete BuddyPress codex

To keep all of my notes in one place, I have started a public site for my BuddyPress development notes. This is a personal and incomplete codex and is found here on Matrix Dreams. I am accepting contributions but honestly don’t expect any.

Proposal: BuddyPress Developers Stack Exchange

The WordPress stack exchange gets a lot of BuddyPress questions and yet this is an off-topic tag. However, I and many others (I have no doubt) have many questions (and the ability to answer many questions) about BuddyPress development. I propose a new SE for BuddyPress development. Who is with me? …
