Yay me first 🙂
I would like to get some feedback about my proposal to implement an API into BuddyPress as an approach to enhance profiles.wordpress.org and I also got interested with the idea of writing a scholar plugin for BuddyPress.

Hi,
I’m going to apply for the GSoC 2010 with the WordPress import/export idea. A proposal has been written in my blogblog (versus network, site). Below is the link for that proposal.
I’m going to use XMLRPC for the project and,it provides required methods for importing and exporting processes. Those are described in my project proposal page in detail.
Here is the link for the project…

Hi, the link to my proposal is http://leebird.misland.org/?p=37.

The main idea is that to use XML-RPC to import the contents online without an xml file. The software is meant to exist as an import tool in wp-adminadmin (and super admin)/import. I have done some parts of the work and there are still several problems. Hope to discuss these with mentor.

Hi Jane,
I am the student/author of pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website. They can extend functionality or add new features to your WordPress websites. WordPress plugins are written in the PHP programming language and integrate seamlessly with WordPress. These can be free in the WordPress.org Plugin Directory https://wordpress.org/plugins/ or can be cost-based plugin from a third-party WP Likes- https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-likes/
I just came across GSoC, hope I am not late for proposing the idea for wordpress!

The plugin basically allows visitors to like posts unobtrusively, but has been widely customized by users to fit there needs. Its been discussed here at- http://blog.aakash.me/index.php/2010/01/wp-likes-3-0-a-glimpse/
I would like to talk to a mentor about it.

I have 2 main proposals for the gsoc this year.
1. WP Mobile – Its different from the current plugins available for wp. most of the available plugins are just themes. But is not exactly a theme. Its a base api which inherits coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. api and provide simplified mobile browser interface for both adminadmin (and super admin) & user area. Its contains the main functionalities. not all the functions in the admin area. Mainly focused towards posts & comment moderating and so on. Another different is that since its a base api, it it possible to create mobile themes and add them as we do with normal wp. These themes are very simple and easy to develop and theme works with base api.

2. Connect Wp – Its a pluginPlugin A plugin is a piece of software containing a group of functions that can be added to a WordPress website.

It will automatically diaplay the latest posts. Its customizable and the details are given in my blogblog (versus network, site) as well.
