WordPress Whitepages Project

[Jeffro]

I've decided to finally get this little project rolling not only for my own benefit but hopefully, the benefit of others. One of the things that gets me so frustrated about WordPress is that I never know where to go to direct my frustration, feedback, criticism, or suggestions. The feedback mechanisms are so disjointed, it's hard to remember where to go and who to contact to get something done. So to help out with this process, I'd like for the members of the forum here to help me compile a whitepages list of sorts for different areas of the WordPress project for feedback and support. Once the list is complete or or close to it, I'm going to publish it on WPTavern.com and also find a page or create a page in the Codex with the information we compiled in the hopes that it will steer people into the right direction.

Plugins
The plugin repository is maintained by Mark Riley who can usually be located in the WordPress.com IRC channel. He's the one that can approve, disapprove, and suspend plugins in the repository and is the one you'll want to go to if other communication methods fail.

Alternatively, you can send an email to plugins@wordpress dot org.

Themes
If you're theme was rejected, removed, or suspended, you'll want to send an email to themes@wordpress dot org.

General Feedback

WordPress Development

(I think you get the drift of what I'm trying to create here. The WordPress.org project has NO hierarchy which is a blessing and a curse. WHERE to give feedback and get problems resolved instead of being yelled at because feedback is put in the wrong place, we can try to place order into chaos.)

EDIT by Ryan: Added plugins email address

Westi was going to do a few line writeup on what is supposed to be discussed in what chat etc.

Plugins ... you can send an email to (I can not find the email for the life of me on the Extend area of the WordPress.org website.)

You can use: plugins (at) wordpress [dot] org

Not from the website, just from experience

Careful, Rarst- Akismet is a division of Automattic and not an official project of the WordPress Foundation. Fine lines, but it can get messy. -Dave

I don't think Rarst ever said Akismet was a WordPress foundation project.
