Have you heard about FAIR Package Manager Project? It’s a decentralized package manager for WordPress, motivated by Matt Mullenweg’s grip on WP.org. More info in this The Repository post.
It would be really nice if ClassicPress and FAIR got along. Any plans on this regard?
We have discussed it briefly at ClassicPress. It seems, however, that in order to access their API, it might be necessary to use blocks. If so, it’s obviously not going to be compatible with ClassicPress. But we are going to investigate further.
I tried the plugin and seems immature right now.
But they offer full WP distributions with FAIR integrated, starting from WP 4.1. So maybe even without blocks it can work.
I expected the full WP distribution to have changed URLs and so on.
I’ve downloaded the FAIR version of WP 4.9.26 and it’s just WP with the plugin preinstalled.
No diff between the standalone plugin and the one that is in the distribution, so I think it’s supposed to be compatible with CP, also v1.
The dashboard widget throws an error because it uses wp_print_community_events_markup(); that was removed from ClassicPress.
Edit: opened a PR for that.
