<div dir="ltr">Thanks Greg. Good idea! I've added that to our task tracker. <div><br></div><div>I agree on the last step, but often the people using the plugins in CMSs want something that works out of the box. So it would be nice to provide these too. And in order to do so, I'd be keen to hear from people what functionality they would want in such a plugin/interface/library.</div>

Then you could have a single PHP class, Java class, Python class, Ruby class, etc that fetch the data from STEP and anyone could use a class like that to trivially write a plugin like you're describing.</div>

STEP will expose an API to other websites, so I'm looking for volunteers to help brainstorm & possibly write the plugins for the various CMSs around. The idea is pretty straightforward at the moment, and I can think of at least 3 use cases:</div>
<div><ul><li>Verse or passage display</li><li>Verse of the day (mainly because other people do it), but possibly also following some devotional schemes</li><li>Looking up a strong number</li>
<li>maybe some more things if people want to suggest more ideas.</li></ul></div><div>I read from <a href="http://www.siteground.com/best_cms_tools.htm" target="_blank">http://www.siteground.com/best_cms_tools.htm</a> that the top CMS are:</div>
<div><ul><li>Joomla<br></li><li>WordPress<br></li><li>Drupal<br></li></ul></div><div>Any ideas if churches tend to use other popuplar CMS frameworks?</div><div><br></div><div>
STEP currently exposes a REST like interface, but some people might prefer a "javascript" include snippet to include, etc. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on that too.</div><span><font color="#888888"><div>
