[p2p-research] VERY urgent request for Ning

[magius]

Hi all,

about exporting Ning.com community members' emails, are you aware
that's possible to export them in .CSV format from Ning group? Here's
how to do:

http://creators.ning.com/profiles/blogs/how-to-export-your-members-to

about creating a new community website different from the Ning.com
one, it's also possible to use the existing blog @
http://blog.p2pfoundation.net , adding to it community features'
module. Infact, cause P2P Foundation blog uses Wordpress, upgrading it
at the last release, is possible to use the Buddypress module:

http://buddypress.org/

After Buddypress installation, you can batch upload the Ning.com
members using this plugin:
http://manojkumar.org/bulk-import-members-users-plugin-for-buddypress-site/

Imho using Buddypress on the existing blog is better than creating a
new site, cause in this way is possible to easily create a community
around existing blog contents, instead of making a new website with
their duplicated contents.
