Hi Kevin
We're in the very early stages of building a WordPress based kiosk
solution for exactly the reasons you outline below. Our plan is to build
the system so it can either be networked and edited via normal WP
routes, or "pushed to" via a plugin we're developing. We also have some
plans for making it totally standalone, using a RPi or similar, and
becoming its own location-sensing "node" as a part of this. Plumbing
ibeacons, or RFID, or shortcode or whatever into this will be all part
of a fairly standard http framework..
Shout off-list if you want to hear more!
cheers
Mike
