Project Details:
Bebop
The project will investigate and develop BuddyPress so as to integrate (‘consume’) third-party feeds and APIs into BuddyPress profiles and look at how BuddyPress can be used as a ‘producer application’ of data for re-publishing to other institutional websites and web services. The main outcome of this work will be a WordPress plugin that can be used with BuddyPress to extend an individual’s profile to re-present resources that are held on disparate websites such as Slideshare, Jorum, etc.
