One of the biggest challenges right now for all WordPress users is that WordPress.org is a single-point-of-failure and controlled by a small group of people. This means that if it ever goes down, goes away, or gets attacked, all sites are vulnerable. We want to change that.
AspirePress is calling for participants in a working group to develop standards for interoperability between mirrors that can mirror .org and serve as alternative but comprehensive sources of truth.
We're open to any interested parties that want to make the WordPress ecosystem better. We want open standard so that anyone can build a mirror and talk to all the other mirrors that are popping up.
If you, your project, your company or your team wants to participate, we invite you to reach out at aspirepress.org/contact and say so.
