Ok, fine I will join the bandwagon.....let's hope I don't fall off ;)

>Who are you?

What's it to you? Oh, uh I mean I am Jason Goldsmith, on the forums
and IRC as unteins.

>Why are you here?

Booze and women....no wait....that's the next question.

I'm here because I have taken over the code to turn WordPress into a
moderately function Live Journal client (Why? Well because a lot of
bloggers have LiveJournal accounts because their less technical
friends do and they want to keep those people up to date without
forcing them to go to 45 different websites. For me specifically, I
wanted to be able to use phpGiggle with LiveJournal, so uh, I decided
to make my blog use phpGiggle and then ship the giggled text off to LJ
for me).

Since I am working on a plugin that involves some pretty heavy duty
lifting on the admin side, I am here to beg for more filters there (to
add GUI, so I don't need to rely on Javascript as I do now). I also
keep running into places that my plugins aren't allowed to go, so I
want to change that. I am striving to never ever edit a file that
ships with the WordPress default install.

>What do you hope to get out of this list?

Fame, fortune and babes. But if that doesn't work out I'll be happy
with a larger arsenal of filter hooks :)
