Would it make sense to rewrite GlotPress to…

Would it make sense to rewrite GlotPress to be a WordPress plugin? I think so and wouldn’t mind to take the lead in it. I think it would be an hugh improvement to see it as a plugin.

#code, #plugin

Interesting! If this is possible, I’d love to be involved. Making GlotPress easier to use seems to make sense to me.

Definitely. It worked wonders for bbPress, and I think it makes more sense now that we have a much better generic object system in WP (post types).

+1 on making it easier and piggy backing WP itself rather than BackPress

I would like to see GlotPress become a WordPress plugin. I already use it with a common user database with a WordPress install since it’s easier to manage users there. Additonally, I’ve written a plugin to give me translator and validator roles within WordPress and to grab some statistics from GlotPress, if the data was already there in WordPress (most likely in an easier to parse format) it would be awesome.

Hear, hear. I think it would significantly lower the threshold for and to the i10n part of our community!

sounds good but I dont think that the development here is flexible enough

  I don’t see the issue. We can create a branch like BuddyPress did. Also first development can be done on GitHub and then move to SVN.

I left a comment, but apparently it’s “awaiting moderation”.

Basically, if it’s possible, I’d love to help 🙂

Seems to be a good point. I’ve been discussing with @catiakitahara some functionalities and workflow that would be great for GlotPress — as we have some good experience (and problems) using it in terms of community. That would imply in a good rewriting job, and doing it as a plugin seems to be easier to integrate with developers and users (easier to install and to develop).

@markoheijnen, we would like to contribute with some specs before jumping into the development. We can do it next week. Also, I’m ready to help coding and discussing the technical issues.
