To be clear: the next wifidog doesn't *use* wordpress; it features an<br>
API so that anyone can build a plugin for any cms. A wordpress plugin<br>
will be created by the wifidog dev team, though. They're actively<br>
looking for helpers, and the working spec is on the dev wiki:<br>

Wordpress has only gotten better in the past few years and the familiarity of the admin control panel will be welcome by all who are tasked with Portal Content Management. The vast pallet of plugins, tweaks and modules offers a lot of kool options.<br>
