उत्कृष्ट सफ्टवेयरले सानो कन्फिगरेसन र सेटअपको साथ काम गर्नुपर्छ। वर्डप्रेस तपाईँलाई पाँच मिनेट भन्दा कम समयमा पूर्ण रूपमा कार्य गर्न सक्ने साइट निर्माण गर्न सक्षम बनाउन डिजाइन गरिएको हो। तपाईँले वर्डप्रेसको साधारण कार्यक्षमता प्रयोग गर्न लडाइँ गर्न पर्दैन।

हामी हरेक रिलिज यस दर्शन अनुरूप छ भनी सुनिश्चित गर्न कडा मेहनत गर्छौं। हामी सेटअप प्रक्रियाको क्रममा सकेसम्म थोरै प्राविधिक विवरणहरूको लागि सोध्छौँ साथै हामीले सोध्ने कुनै पनि कुराको पूर्ण स्पष्टीकरण प्रदान गर्छौं।

बहुमतको लागि डिजाइन

Many end users of WordPress are non-technically minded. They don’t know what AJAX is, nor do they care about which version of PHP they are using. The average WordPress user simply wants to be able to write without problems or interruption. These are the users that we design the software for as they are ultimately the ones who are going to spend the most time using it for what it was built for.

निर्णय, विकल्प होइन

When making decisions these are the users we consider first. A great example of this consideration is software options. Every time you give a user an option, you are asking them to make a decision. When a user doesn’t care or understand the option this ultimately leads to frustration. As developers we sometimes feel that providing options for everything is a good thing, you can never have too many choices, right? Ultimately these choices end up being technical ones, choices that the average end user has no interest in. It’s our duty as developers to make smart design decisions and avoid putting the weight of technical choices on our end users.

सफा, दुब्लो र‌ अर्थ

The core of WordPress will always provide a solid array of basic features. It’s designed to be lean and fast and will always stay that way. We are constantly asked “when will X feature be built” or “why isn’t X plugin integrated into the core”. The rule of thumb is that the core should provide features that 80% or more of end users will actually appreciate and use. If the next version of WordPress comes with a feature that the majority of users immediately want to turn off, or think they’ll never use, then we’ve blown it. If we stick to the 80% principle then this should never happen.

We are able to do this because we have a very capable theme and plugin system and a fantastic developer community. Different people have different needs, and having the sheer number of quality WordPress plugins and themes allows users to customize their installations to their taste. That should allow all users to find the remaining 20% and make all WordPress features those they appreciate and use.

सादगीको लागि प्रयासरत

हामीले कहिल्यै सरलताका साथ गरेका छैनौँ। हामी वर्डप्रेसलाई प्रत्येक रिलीजको साथ प्रयोग गर्न सजिलो बनाउन चाहन्छौँ। हामीले यसको राम्रो ट्र्याक रेकर्ड पाएका छौँ, यदि तपाईँ हामीलाई विश्वास गर्नुहुन्न भने, वर्डप्रेसको केही पुराना संस्करणहरूमा फर्केर हेर्नुहोस्!

In past releases we’ve taken major steps to improve ease of use and ultimately make things simpler to understand. One great example of this is core software updates. Updating used to be a painful manual task that was too tricky for a lot of our users. We decided to focus on this and simplified it down to a single click. Now anyone with a WordPress installation can perform one click upgrades on both the core of WordPress and plugins and themes.

हामी आफैँलाई चुनौती दिन र समग्र वर्डप्रेस प्रयोगकर्ता अनुभवको लागि सकारात्मक तरिकामा कार्यहरू सरल बनाउन मन पराउँछौँ। वर्डप्रेसको प्रत्येक संस्करण पछिल्लो भन्दा प्रयोग गर्न सजिलो र थप रमाइलो हुनुपर्छ।

म्यादहरू मनमानी होइनन्

Deadlines are not arbitrary, they’re a promise we make to ourselves and our users that helps us rein in the endless possibilities of things that could be a part of every release. We aspire to release three major versions a year because through trial and error we’ve found that to be a good balance between getting cool stuff in each release and not so much that we end up breaking more than we add.

राम्रो समयसीले लगभग सधैँ तपाईँलाई रिलीजबाट केहि कुराहरू छाँट्न पर्ने बनाउँछ। यो नराम्रो कुरा होइन, त्यसको काम नै त्यस्तै हो।

थप-एक-सुविधाको लागि भन्दै रिलीज ढिलाइ गर्नु भनेको जटिल भुमरीमा छिर्नु जस्तै हो। हामीले एक वर्ष भन्दा बढी एक पटक त्यसो गर्‍यौँ र त्यो कसैको लागि पनि सुखद थिएन।

The more frequent and regular releases are, the less important it is for any particular feature to be in this release. If it doesn’t make it for this one, it’ll just be a few months before the next one. When releases become unpredictable or few and far between, there’s more pressure to try and squeeze in that one more thing because it’s going to be so long before the next one. Delay begets delay.

मुखर अल्पसङ्ख्यक

There’s a good rule of thumb within internet culture called the 1% rule. It states that “the number of people who create content on the internet represents approximately 1% (or less) of the people actually viewing that content”.

So while we consider it really important to listen and respond to those who post feedback and voice their opinions on forums, they only represent a tiny fraction of our end users. When making decisions on how to move forward with future versions of WordPress, we look to engage more of those users who are not so vocal online. We do this by meeting and talking to users at WordCamps across the globe, this gives us a better balance of understanding and ultimately allows us to make better decisions for everyone moving forward.

हाम्रो अधिकार विधेयक

वर्डप्रेसलाई जनरल पब्लिक लाइसेन्स (जिपिएलभि२ वा पछि) अन्तर्गत लाइसेन्स दिइएको छ जसले चार मुख्य स्वतन्त्रताहरू प्रदान गर्छ, यसलाई वर्डप्रेस “अधिकारको विधेयक” मान्न सक्नुहुन्छ:

• कुनै पनि उद्देश्यका लागि कार्यक्रम सञ्चालन गर्ने स्वतन्त्रता।
• प्रोग्रामको कार्यपद्धति अध्ययन गर्ने र आफ्नो इच्छाअनुसार परिवर्तन गर्ने स्वतन्त्रता।
• पुन: वितरण गर्ने स्वतन्त्रता।
• तपाईँका संशोधित प्रतिलिपिहरू अरूका लागि वितरण गर्ने स्वतन्त्रता।

Part of those licensing requirements include licensing derivative works or things that link core WordPress functions (like themes, plugins, etc.) under the GPL as well, thereby passing on the freedom of use for these works as well.

Obviously there are those who will try to get around these ideals and restrict the freedom of their users by trying to find loopholes or somehow circumvent the intention of the WordPress licensing, which is to ensure freedom of use. We believe that the community as a whole will reward those who focus on supporting these licensing freedoms instead of trying to avoid them.

वर्डप्रेस समुदायले जोड दिनु पर्छ कि जिपिएलका स्वतन्त्रताहरूले उच्च गुणस्तर सफ्टवेयर प्रदान गर्न मद्दत गर्दछ।
