[Irtalk] Cardinal Scholar Home

This is interesting Michael. Integration with popular CMS's using the
plugin framework is something we are interested in. Currently our website
integrates with DSpace via harvesting through OAI-PMH which is problematic
in keeping the items in sync if there are changes. Definitely we look
forward to your Wordpress plugin and will also take a look at the Drupal
plugin as well. We want to move to a situation where we upload once but use
everywhere.

Best
Nason
