Following the security issue on 22nd of June 2011, where 3 plugins were compromised and altered (not) by their authors, and the resulting call from Automattic to reset everybody's password. 3 worrying questions come to mind. 1- How did that happen in the first place? 2- How did the hackers manage to insert that code in 3 different plugins almost all at once? 3- How to prevent that from happening again to other plugins in the future?

When using a E-Commerce solution or Social Network(buddypress) we have had over 1 million posts in the post table, and this is in less than 3 months. It would be advantageous if we had the ability to split higher level CPT's off of the main table. We foresee posts in the multimillions..

Are there any plans to dig deeper into this social potential in the open source version? Will Custom Post Types be accessible in the App anytime soon? Any plans to make the Dashboard more iPad friendly?

What are the most popular features of JetPack as I'm sure not too many people are using all the features, and can we can any hints on what other components are on the horizon for JetPack? Bonus question: I'm aware that the beard was recently trimmed after some feedback on Twitter and I was wondering if we can get an update on 'The State of The Beard' :) I’m curious to know some stats about JetPack and what the take up rate has been like both on WordPress.com and WordPress.org users.

This was discussed a little bit during the Q&A with Matt during WordCamp Montreal 2009 but I haven't heard much about it since. Thanks!

A WordPress payment system would allow communities to set up market places while bypassing the fees asked by credit cards and Paypal-like systems. We agreed that it would be a great service for communities. Matt told me that it would be difficult to implement but that it was an interesting problem and that he would talk about it with his team. Since I can't attend WordCamp Montreal 2011, I would appreciate to know if they have worked on this topic and if they intend to develop such a system in the near future.

They also often feel a bit neglected since users are able to enter lots of data about their links but can't display that data without installing plugins. Are there plans to migrate links to use the custom post architecture and to augment their functionality or is the current functionality coupled with plugins deemed sufficient?
