Hi Arvind!
For the Fedora Magazine, the best place to discuss it is on the
Marketing mailing list, which I am including in this response. The
Community Operations team handles the Community Blog (which is also a
WordPress site).
Ah, OK. I'm replying only on the Marketing List now, then.
I think discussion about the API came up before, but I don't
remember
what came of it or where it went. The best points of contact about this
would probably be Patrick Uiterwijk (puiterwijk on freenode IRC) or Paul
Frields (stickster on freenode IRC). I know Paul is at Summit this week,
so you might not hear from him this week, but you can probably find
Patrick on IRC, and he could tell you more about whether this is
feasible or not.
Great, will contact both Patrick and Paul on IRC about this.
Since this reply is on the mailing list anyway, if anyone else has an idea about the WP
API, please do let me know. :)
Since the `wp-json` API is a default Wordpress plugin, so anyone with access to the Fedora
Magazine WP-admin should be able to re-enable it.
Essentially, I am hoping for a way to just fetch Fedora Magazine post links, banner
images, and maybe article summaries. This is all provided by the `wp-json` API.
This isn't meant to drive any traffic away from the Blog, since clicking on any links
will still lead to the actual webpage.
Rather I want to just to give users a sort of feed reader, from where they can access the
Magazine and other resources, at once.
Hope this helps!
Thanks, Justin! Appreciate the help. :D
