Userplane has been adding to its roster of available community-building tools for some time, with free API options for things like chat and Webmessenger. The plugins for these Userplane additions are now available as plug-ins for VBulletin, WordPress, Drupal, Mambo, Joomla and phpFoX.
The point is to make it even more simple to create communities around these newly supported platforms with Userplane's plugins. It's all rather out-of-the-box on the development side, and aims to take better advantage of open source platforms all together. With more sectors having a need to build communities, there's a driving interest in doing so around existing open source and platform offerings where the likelihood of a continuing community will easily take shape.
