According to a message sent to the WP-Pro list, Best Buy is looking for some pro WordPress developers.
The representative stated that they use WordPress MU to host over 1,000 individual store blogs, and because of the explosion in popularity, they need some expert help asap.
They’re particularly interested in individuals with custom plugin experience who can extend WordPress beyond it’s normal blog nature.
Personally, I think WordPress is up to the task, but I can’t say that I would jump on WordPress in a mission-critical business application. I’d probably look towards Drupal or Expression Engine if I needed a real CMS with potential professional support included.
That said, I have certainly seen WordPress extended to fill many CMS roles, and I’m sure one of the pro’s on the list will hop all over the challenge. And the money.
