We have been given the opportunity to ask Matt Mullenweg a couple of questions here on Loose Suits about the business of Automattic, Inc which is behind WordPress.com. If you have any questions that you would want us to ask him let us know here and we will compile a best of list and then shoot them over to him.

Just to clarify, Toni Schneider is the CEO of Automattic. I'm just a guy there. :)

Damn for some reason I knew that, no clue why I said it. And you are just a guy like I'm just a pimp...wait I am!

Not really a business question but: How much did ma.tt cost?

When are you going to start some work on BBPress? I've been waiting ages ...

Shadow's question will apply here.

Some things I'm curious about:

  • How do Automattic's finances look?
  • More specifically: what makes the most money? what makes the least (or loses the most)?
  • How much bandwidth does Automattic use in a given day or year? How much does that cost?
  • Have you ever considered self-hosting?
  • What do you see as the largest area for future growth?
  • Is there much interest in expanding, or is a small virtual team the long-term plan?
  • Any forthcoming developments you wish to vaguely hint at?
