Plugin thoughts
I weighed in on David’s newest plugin brainstorm posts. He has some great ideas, and I’m glad to be a part of the MT team so I can enjoy the fun of brainstorming on things like this.

Mainly because I’m not knowledgable enough in perl, and so I tend(ed) to write things in terms of PHP when I needed something. But for whatever reason, the great tools that plugins add to the output of MT’s already great system were too interesting to not play with. And now, my playing has been able to help others out with the directory
