[buddypress-dev] buddymoney concept

[Dan Milward]

Hi Peter,

I am going to start by putting together a website where people can 
purchase buddymoney tokens. What I'll do is think about an API and some 
documentation for people to use.

Perhaps we could provide you a list of things to do and you could try 
creating a buddymoney donate plugin or help us to get it working with WP 
e-Commerce.

I am kind of over whelmed at the moment. So I'm not sure whether that 
sounds like a plan or not. I would really really like to have Andy's 
thoughts on core infrastructure...

Ciao,

Dan
