Weblog Tools Collection is winding up for another WordPress plugin competition, and I don’t mind admitting that I am slightly excited.

The moment I read the post I started thinking about what I could do and I have a few ideas which, for obvious reasons, will need to remain under wraps.

Before I get too carried away with my grand, and yet probably impractical, plans I thought I would see if anyone who isn’t going to enter wants to throw some ideas out there for anyone who is going to enter. SO, how about it, what would you like to see in a plugin that isn’t already out there?

Number 2 sounds like an excellent idea Ronald, and not too difficult to pull off idea. I hope someone picks that up.

Are you not taking part? or are you not allowed to?

I have some ideas…

1. A CMS type tool here it only allows authors to edit certain categories, posts, and pages.
2. A featured comment tool where a blogger can mark one as more important than the other. Then have a template tag where a blogger can show the featured comments for a post.
3. Have a white-list where a commenter has unfiltered comments, is never moderated, and never checked for spam.
4. Port Vivtiger Image Resizer over to 2.5 (not an easy task)
5. An author management tool where you can allow authors of multiple blogs add bios, pictures. Have a template library to customize the author page. Lots of potential here.

That’s all for now.

This is an afterthought so I’m adding it to the comments instead of updating the post.

One of the things I think is most exciting about a really high profile competition is that it lets plugin developers produce something that would require users to take up in order to really work.

This seems like a good chance to develop some some standard methods of dealing with certain things, using a plugin to drive it.
