Integrating Communities
summary
Argues that fragmentation literally wastes developer time and knowledge and offers concrete fixes: migrated conference sites into one WordPress multisite and it succeeds, open tech calendar exists to avoid event clashes, and PHP women IRC provides real crisis support. Documents a conference moment where WordPress gets laughed at as evidence of harm, and prescribes measurable actions—cross‑community invites, mentoring, joint events and shared resources—rather than vague calls for inclusiveness.
