Learning Curve for BuddyPress or Directory Press?

[computerkitten]

I have a potential client that is interested in updates being done for their Buddypress & Directory Press website.

I was also told the following:

" I do know that it is a Wordpress / Buddypress site, has Directory Press (for the business listings), and a plug-ins. And, as part of Buddypress, there are expanded options / functionalities for building Community (a la Facebook).

I am open to reconfiguring / tweaking the website to make it work better (e.g., member and business member registration, streamlining Wordpress upgrading process, adding new departments, etc.)"

I have no experience in BuddyPress, Directory Press, member & business member registration (is this Wishlist?). So trying to find out the learning curve for this.

Thanks,
CK
