Quote:

And now it?s officially a part of the WordPress family. Automattic, the company behind WordPress.com, has just acquired WooCommerce.

Automattic isn?t disclosing the price of the acquisition, but tells me that it?s by far ?the biggest acquisition by Automattic to date.? We?ll keep digging for details beyond that, of course.

I hope they dont bloat wp even more by adding it as part of the core.
Or if they do, atleast release a stripped version as well.

What else has Wordpress acquired?
