Yesterday I was excited to see a post pop up in my WordPress dashboard over on Mark Jaquith’s website announcing that WordPress has secured $29.5 million dollars in their second round of financing. Congratulations to Automattic! The investor this time is the New York Times so I think it is safe to say that they are doing something right.
While it may not seem like $29.5 million will go very far in today’s world, when you consider that they’ve gotten by on only $1.1 million since 2006, it somehow seems like a much bigger number.
So what does this mean for WordPress? It looks like Automattic currently has 17 employees. If I was a betting man, I would bet the house that they will be hiring soon. These employees can be used not only towards improving the WordPress software, but can also be applied towards improving the WordPress Codex, forums, or improving their efforts against fighting spam.
Want to know more? You can get more directly from Matt.
