Linux Foundation Tries To Play Peacemaker In Ongoing WordPress Scuffle

The Linux Foundation launched the FAIR Package Manager to stabilize the WordPress ecosystem. This new system distributes WordPress updates and plugins without central control. This initiative stems from disputes within the WordPress community, specifically a legal battle. The FAIR Package Manager aims to eliminate reliance on a single source for updates. It unites the fragmented ecosystem by integrating plugins from diverse sources. Security is built into the supply chain to prevent weaponization against the community. The project promises to foster stability and growth for open-source content management. It offers contributors and businesses more options within a neutral community. The software is a decentralized alternative to the central WordPress.org plugin system. It also enhances GDPR compliance and strengthens the open-source software supply chain.
