Note: This project is no longer maintained. The website is still online for archival reasons but the code has been removed from WordPress.org due to a takedown notice from Facebook (meta). This page will serve as a lens into the past.
WPBook was started in October 2007 as a project of the Center for History and New Media (CHNM) at George Mason University by Dave Lester.The goal was to find a way to bring a self hosted WordPress blog into Facebook as an application.
John Eckman joined the project in May of 2008 and has since become the lead developer on the project. and I started contributing in August of 2008.
