culture360.org redevelopment

[Jeffrey Withaya Campbell]

Dear All,

Hope this message finds you well.

My name is Jeff Campbell. I am the technical coordinator for
culture360.org.

culture360.org is an Asia-Europe Foundation project (asef.org).

I am contacting the Culture Mondo network in relation to the
redevelopment of culture360.org.

We have engaged new developers to create a socially networked magazine
style site on WordPress Multi User (WPMU) with the social network
elements provided by BuddyPress (BP).
http://mu.wordpress.org/
http://buddypress.org/
(See examples below)

The project team would very much appreciate any experienced input as
we move through the process.

Our developers will be providing 3-4 examples of the home page etc in
the functional specification, and it would be great to have other
opinions, particularity from a usability point of view.

If you are interested please contact me.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards,

Jeffrey Withaya Campbell
