    QOTD/MOTD is a different beast to the Private Message system that you also talk about.

    the PeerID is a different beast on top of that…

    MOTD is easy to do – just use the admin hooks. Much like Matt’s “Hello Dolly” plugin does.

    Actually Gregory, QOTD/MOTD is not that different at all. If a user messaging framework is developed, an MOTD would just be a simple entry into each user’s messagebox. The emphasis is on building a framework and not hacking small peices into place.

    As for the PeerID, not a big deal at all, just a few lines of code. Check out my Blacklist peering plugin for a good example.

    The idea of messaging got me to thinking about a simple message board. I have a site where people want to be able to post messages; they don’t really need a full-blown bulletin board or forum, just a way to post some simple messages back and forth.

    I like the idea, but no way am I going to think about tackling it. :)

    Mark – ok, point taken, but a MOTD is about 3 lines of code, the others are a bit more.

    I can think of many ways to do it, but it IS more complex than just a simple motd, I agree tho – not too complex. Not something that I’d work on as I have no use for it… but I’m sure someone can do it.

    Couldn’t the Post Level Plugin be useful? Instead of having the messaging system within wordpress, post the message as a blog post and set the minimum user level to whatever you want.
