[$] FAIR package management for WordPress

The last year has been a rocky one for the WordPress community. MattMullenweg-WordPress co-founder andCEO of WordPress hosting company Automattic-started a messy public spat withWPEngine in September andhas proceeded to use his control of the project's WordPress.orginfrastructure as weapons against the company, with the communitycaught in the crossfire. It is not surprising, then, that onJune6 a group of WordPress community participants announced theFederatedand Independent Repositories Package Manager (FAIR.pm) project. Itis designed to be a decentralized alternative to WordPress.org with agoal of building "public digital infrastructure that is bothresilient and fair".
