[wp-hackers] Static content plugin

[Carthik Sharma]

With Kitty's elaborate category show/hide plugin, and all other
similar problems with hiding specific categories/posts in mind, I
think the time is ripe to add an extra column/field to the categories,
which controls whether a categories posts are displayed on the
index.php, archives etc pages and the list_cats functions.
In other words, we should either have the .category type hidden
categories, or a simple boolean variable(or more than one, perhaps)
associated with each category that decides whether it is shown on
various pages/returned by various functions.

I found it easiest to add "static" pages (like the about me pages)
using LaughingLizards old wp-wiki hack.

Cheeri-o!
Carthik.
