Matt Scanning Entries for WordPress Feature Contest

Matt and Priyanka with one of the contest Winner (thats me :-) )

Let me tell you what happening in above pictures. Actually at India’s First WordCamp there was this WordPress Feature Suggestion Contest for WordPress future version releases. Many bloggers and web developers contested in this. Matt himself scanned each and every entry and look I feel so lucky that he chosen me as one of the winner of this contest.

Here is what I suggested to Matt:

Hey Matt,

Would you like to integrate BuddyPress and bbPress and if possible further integration of these services to our WordPress Blog?  I consider forums and these social media stuff as very useful tool for generating traffic to our blog. At present if we need these services with our blogs then we need to install it manually at a sub directory level and then link it to our blog home page. It will be great if you can provide a process opting for setting up these services with our WordPress blog. Mixing of BuddyPress with bbPress with WordPress blog would be a great idea.

He like this idea and then prized me for that.

So if you see these sorts of integration in future version of your WordPress blog then you can easily guess from where the idea is coming. :-)

You can congratulate me in the comments below.
