ConservaBlogs Project Status Updates

Welcome to the ConservaBlogs Project Status Page. This page is here to track all CB related projects and provide updates as to their progress and current status.

Project Name: Flickr Pool
Currently we’re running our Flikr pics from a random feed at Flickr. However, Ken Marrero is working on getting an account set up that will allow all of us to submit pics in to the general ConservaBlogs Flikr pool.

UPDATE: Flickr Group is online. Click here to join.

Flickr Pool Project Status: 100% Complete

Project Name: Author Sign Up
Don’t worry, the author sign up page is coming soon! If you’ve come through via facebook or the network blogs, please know that this is our highest priority at this time and it should be ready by Wednesday, December 12, 2007.

UPDATE: COMPLETE

Facebook Group Project Status: 100% Complete

Project Name: Revenue Sharing
This is a hack to the Wordpress files that allows contributors to add a Google Adsense user id through the user profile interface. This user id is then requested anytime a page loads that you create. Meaning… you get any and all revenue and pageview credit for the content you create!

Revenue Sharing Project Status: 100% Complete (Currently using a temporary hack)

Project Name: User Forums
We’re currently looking at several Wordpress compatible forum systems. In the past we’ve tried to use phpBB and SimpleForums, but found them to be quite “out of the loop” in regards to the over all network. This time we want to integrate the system in to the current site and template, and make sure that it uses the same databases so that you do not have to log in twice (once for the forums, and once for the blog).

User Forums Project Status: 10% Complete

Project Name: FAQ
While this site runs on the Wordpress platform, it has certain extra features that can be great to use, but also some what complex. We will, eventually, create a wiki sub-site here at CB to help address issues and difficulties as they arise.

New contributors should not fear, however, because we plan on keeping the simple form of the software running until we get everyone a little more comfortable with the extras.

UPDATE: A basic “blogger FAQ” has been added. Click here to view.
