PressForward Plugin Beta Now Available:
PressForward, the Google Reader replacement that runs inside your WordPress install, is now in open beta! This is one of the project’s that I’ve spent the last year working on and I’m very excited to get to this stage.
PressForward, which is hitting beta just in time to complete testing by the time Google Reader hits the off button, is a totally open source tool built to run inside WordPress with no extra requirements, server modifications, or messing about in the command line. The system has been built as both an RSS reader and an editorial tool, allowing groups to look at feeds together, discuss them, and nominate them for consideration as part of an aggregation process.
Here’s a fresh ZIP file of our latest beta version, ready for upload and testing in your WordPress install.
Here’s the issue forum to report all the bugs you encounter, so that we can fix them.
Give it a try and tell me how it goes!
The PressForward Plugin was developed for the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University by Aram Zucker-Scharff, Boone B. Gorges, and Jeremy Boggs. It is free to use and modify under a GNU GPL2 license.
