    Hi All…

    I really like the format of the Gameful site, it’s just so…gameful. It appears to be a customization of the BuddyPress plug-in for WordPress, but I could be wrong?

    In my K12 world, I can see how this type of web architecture could light a fire under some students. Anybody know who the principal architects of the site are? Do they have a blog, forum here on the site? I’m discovering so many nice features that I would love to “borrow” and use with our students i.e. points giving & sharing, achievement recognition based on pet (badging), being able to blog once achieving a particular level…can’t wait to see what other engaging aspects are yet to be discovered! How did the customization take place? Development time line?, Ongoing customization process? Etc. etc…

    Please share!

    Hi John, please send a message to Nathan Maton (username = nathanmaton), who is the community manager here at Gameful. He can put you in touch with the developers of the site.
