 * As a mod for the WordPress forum at [Webmaster World](http://www.webmasterworld.com/wordpress/4620038.htm)
   I started a thread about WordPress security – or the lack there of. Largely because
   I’m tired of the beating WP takes and I wanted to see if anyone could actually
   prove there were security issues. What has come out of the thread so far is lot
   of accusations about how there is no dedicated security team or process for handing
   issues. SO I’m here to ask, what is there for a security team or security review
   process/protocol for code and issues when they’re uncovered?

 * You had mentioned something along that line yesterday, and I had actually missed
   its essence until later in the day. As I perceive things, this excerpt at least
   somewhat indirectly addresses that kind of matter:
 * > Design for the Majority
   >  Many end users of WordPress are non-technically minded…
   > 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. [http://wordpress.org/about/philosophy/](http://wordpress.org/about/philosophy/)
 * We all act as we think, and that is how WordPress thinks.
