Will this be just a fork of WP or will it be improved in any way? #14

Closed dingo-d closed 6 years ago

I'm just wondering what is the ultimate goal of this project? Are you going to just keep the state of the WP as it is now (4.9.8 or 4.9.7 version) and only patch certain security features, or will you clean the codebase and make it more modern?

The thing that is really hampering the progress of WordPress (in my opinion) is this hell-bent backward compatibility. Everything has to work on PHP 5.2 which is ridiculous (not to mention the benefits to the performance PHP 7+ gives).

So will you be cleaning the code to make it more modern? Add namespace to avoid possible conflicts, use composer and autoloading, removing outdated scripts (jQuery 1.2 in 2018). Things like that.

The short answer is yes, we will! Our first priority is creating a stable fork, then we will be changing to community led development.

Please note this repo will be closed as we're moving to https://github.com/ClassicPress/ClassicPress

Thanks for the answer. I'm looking forward to seeing how this unravels :)
