 In way I am happy that Wordpress works. Of sorts. It is a versatile piece
 of software. It is amazing how many things you can create with it.

 But the process of making anything more complex work in Wordpress is
 excrutiatingly painful.

 The concept of plugins is wonderful. But currently the plugins have full
 access to the browser. They need to run inside Wordpress. Wordpress would
 need to provide the environment for as much code as possible. It's the
 only chance of minimizing js and and css conflicts.

 Currently everybody can submit a plugin and the only hope of making all
 components work together is hoping that progammers are sticking to at
 least some conventions. Bottomline: it is down to luck.

 I'd love to get involved. But to be quite honest, I have tried making some
 contributions with another browser based software before. It didn't go
 anywhere. My general impression of the age of browser based software: the
 only thing that matters is implementing features. The more the better.

 Minimizing pain on getting things to run together is an art. But it
 doesn't seem to rank very highly on the list of priorities.

 I'd love to get involved. But these are not cosmetic changes. So I don't
 know where to start and if there's a chance of anything changing on that
 level in the first place.

 So. There it is.

 Thanks for listening,
 Peter
