And this is an area where CP can surpass WP (and, perhaps, monetize).
There’s another thread talking about plug-ins where I suggested a “certified compatible” listing for plugins. Certification would require a fee, but would confer priority listing status and a “certified” badge.
If CP establishes itself as a (or the) “go-to” CMS, then devs looking to make money will pay for (and meet the needs for) certification.
Companies pay a lot to be ISO certified (which says zero about the quality of the product). Michelin stars can make a restaurant owner rich. Umpteen organizations businesses exist for (and make a lot of money from) ranking and certifying products.
WordPress doesn’t do this. The only metrics they give are “number of downloads” and “last updated”.
Create a “CP Certified” program, and you’ve got a major market advantage.
