There seem to be irregularities in users being accepted for the WP plugins repository. Some people are waiting for weeks and haven’t been accepted yet. I also have applied 3 days ago, but no feedback yet. Maybe you should reconsider the requirement of plugins being hosted at wordpress.org.
Forget it dudes, I’ve killed all competition yet with the preview of my upcoming “Who Sees Ads” plugin
BTW I do agree with Alex about the hosting requirement. This should be a coder’s decision to host their plugin on their site, or somewhere else, or both. I feel a little bit mitigated about this requirement for myself.
Litte Update: I got accepted tonight for the plugin I want to participate with (sorry, Ozh… hard times for your plugin. ;-)).
Still, I think that self-hosting should be allowed. The wordpress.org repository is a great idea, but until it is (nearly) as easy as with wp-plugins.net for people to add new plugins, it should be up to the authors where they host their stuff.
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
So wouldn’t it be great if my plugin was “accepted” over at wordpress so I could upload it and submit it to you?

Glad to be involved, and I’ll be featuring the plug-ins submitted on Blogged out over the coming weeks.
I didn’t know lorelle had a book! I’ma have to go look for it now.
Thanks for the update, HostGator is very excited to be a sponsor of the Plugin Competition! Good luck to all of the developers!
