We, the Webride team, have already started integration with Wordpress. API::Blog is half the way through and we would support everyone, who likes to take only the last steps but get all the honors ;)
Currently, our Wordpress plugin already chats with the Webride API to post messages, but the other way back - pulling messages from the Webride API, waits for implementation. It isn't too complicated, but our priorities have changed somewhere in between.

And there are other great blog systems, begging for integration with Webride: Nucleus, MovableType, ... You may want to take our half-baked Wordpress plugin-code as an inspiration.

Framesets are still the best way for us to stay cross browser compatible. But they are not an optimal solution at all. The problem with framesets is, that - due to security restrictions of browsers - Webride cannot react, when people choose to click a link in the content frame (on the right side) and adjust the according forum (on the left side) to the new URI. A browser extension, with explicit authorization through the user (who has installed it) is less restrictive and more powerful. For all the people who are not afraid to install a browser extension, there may be a demand for this. We have already started with a simple Firefox extension but it was something like our stepchild you may like to adopt.

Why not build a complete bulletin board like phpBB, using the Webride API? Right now, it is just a thought, but basically, there only needs to be some kind of threading stored and moderated locally, with virtual thread URIs linked to http://webride.org/discuss/full.php?uri=<virtual-uri>. This is one of our favorite ideas, so expect us to be very helpful!

Just brainstorming: what if you could comment on every single spot on earth? Wouldn't it be nice to discuss about the myths of the pyramids? Is there a need for such a thing? Maybe, maybe not, but if you are bored or see business opportunities (for yourself)...
