[wp-hackers] Static content plugin

[Moises Kirsch]

I think that "Static" should be a major feature of WordPress.

I might need to add a table (just like Links) to support this and 
create a new section in the admin area just for this.

I'm saying this because after checking the Plugin APIs I dont really 
see a way of doing this using the hooks that exist righ now... the only 
other way of achieving "static" content might be to leave out of 
wordpress and let people do it their own way just like we all be doing 
it until now.
