WordPattern – An April Fool Joke?

advertisement logo

 

Last night at about 3 am I logged in my blog account, and saw this announcement at the WordPress Dashboard :

On behalf of the WordPress community, I?m proud to announce a merger we?ve had on our minds since the first time we saw Dean Allen?s dog ? WordPress and Textpattern are joining forces to create the greatest CMSMS ever, WordPattern. ?WordPress and Textpattern: Two great tastes that taste great together.? As with any great union, there [...]

So I went to to a simple-looking website claiming that wordpress and Textpattern has been merged to produce a better CMS platform. So I went straight ahead to the download section to take a peek on what kind of improvement they had.

I sounds fishy enough that I haven’t heard about any “merging” efforts before, but I was compelled to download the tarball package. Seems my instinct was right, the tarball contains some two lame files, yeah a WordPress team very own April Fools joke.

ROTFL
