Build with the community: how the power of the WordPress community helped me build and contribute to some of the largest projects in WordPress
Getting any plugin on the WordPress.org forum can be a lot of work. Taking a plugin like Better WP Security (now iThemes Security) to more than 2.5 million downloads when it isn’t your full-time job can seem nearly impossible. This talk will discuss how I utilized the WordPress community to build Better WP Security up to one of the largest plugins on WordPress.org including what I did right and what I could have done better. In addition, I’ll talk about how you can use the WordPress community to build up any side project as well as how to give back using your own skill set. Learn how to handling support, marketing and general bugs when you wear all the hats (developer, marketer, teacher, project manager, etc).
