[wp-hackers] wp-hackers Digest, Vol 99, Issue 45 GSoC 13

Wed Apr 24 10:19:22 UTC 2013

Hi ,
This is Saleem Ahmed an student of Institute of Technology, Bilaspur.
I had this idea of Wordpress for Entrepreneurs . Basically the majority of
the people around the globe still treat Wordpress as a blogging platform,
because inherently it is and always shall be.

My idea was to come up with one single core update that keeps WP as it is
yet converts it into a CMS for entrepreneurs resource management.

Major companies across the globe use ERP systems like SAP while spending
billions on its annual upkeep.

So why not give them our own wordpress solution . i mean of course a person
with loads of wordpress experience can ofcourse develop the system but for
the general public it is not a viable option to use WP for such purposes.

The USP being its mobile version . All free of cost

I have been working on Wordpress since it was WP1.5 and do believe that i
could pull this off easily .

This is a sincere request to all the mentors out ther please do guide me if
I am in the right track and is this idea viable ?? Or should I just scrap
it and start working on the UUID Abstraction I had planned in the beginning.

Hope to hear from  someone soon.
Adios !

Regards,
Saleem Ahmed
