Programmers outline to do list

Our project is based on liferay: http://www.liferay.com/products/liferay-portal/tech-specs

* RSS aggregation into the liferay web content.
This is to bring media RSS items into the CMS from external sites and then use the asset publisher ( http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Asset+Publisher+Portlet) to display them and create a tag-based RSS feed to the media player embed/portal.

* Customisation of Open source media player (with playlists and embedding) to create a liferay portlet.
this will allow us to display on our site aggregated video content from other websites and as an embedded media player on other sites.

* Configuration of liferay CMS including customisation of portlets
This will bring an overall TV look and feel to the liferay CMS including working with our designer with CSS and themes.

* Badges – participation rewards (automated)
Creating a set of fun, aspirational communities – device of percentage of completeness of profile like Linkedin – to encourage photos and full profiles by members.
