[wp-hackers] Plugin Framework

[Jason goldsmith]

It looks ok, but it seems like it is geared towards evil nasty
database and/or file modifying plugins. I'd prefer to see a plugin
framework that helped plugin writers work with the existing APIs.

Three things I would need to see in a framework to make it worthwhile to me are

1) Configuration handler, so I can easily create config files for
plugins and work with them
2) A GUI front end for configuration files (probably showing up as a
link reading "Configure" in the plugin admin interface plugin
description field
3) Utility functions that help hack around the places where the WP API
is weak like inserting GUI elements into the post.php screen via
JavaScript and the DOM.

I can help with #3 now, at least by providing some hax0red code that I
have. It ins't perfect, but it isn't terrible. I have to deal with #1
and #2 in the next few weeks, so I will probably have some code for
those as well that you can start with if you are interested.
