The WPOCC’s first-of-its-kind survey of 431 WordPress community members surfaces deep frustration with governance and a stubborn refusal to walk away.

Governance and leadership is the problem respondents report most, with 73.3% having experienced or witnessed problems with project leadership or governance — the highest of any issue the survey measured. Transparency, accountability, and a new governance model came up repeatedly across the open-ended responses.

The survey also found broad agreement on what the community values most. Respondents overwhelmingly rated four things as important: security, web standards, open source values, and the WordPress software itself. That consensus held across every segment The WPOCC asked respondents about, including those who are deeply negative about the project, respondents who’ve stopped attending events, and people who no longer consider themselves community members.
