    Great to hear about another competition. I’m sure there’ll be lots of great plugins.

    I’m not a programmer. I’m a writer, and a new one. But I see the need for a plugin that doesn’t strike me as being too difficult.

    It enhances the ‘scheduled posts’ feature of WP. Specifically, it creates a posts pile. The user would say which days that they intend to post, and then if they publish content that day, then nothing happens. But if they DON’T, the next post in the stack pops into that place, so they are always refreshing the blog, and they even out the cycle of “post 5 times one day, don’t post for 6 weeks.”

    Of course, it would have to be possible to have categories or tags override and/or ignore it (something like “breaking news”).

    I know writers like Skellie would love that, and I’m just trying to see if this can be accomplished easily.

    I take it that all plugins will have to be WordPress 2.5 compatible? That seems logical but maybe it’s an idea to mention that somewhere?

    @Chris Johnson

    That seems like it would be awesome and cool to make. It also doesn’t seem like it would be too terribly difficult to make. Just hook into the publish post, look to see if there was a post for that day, and if it was then send it to to a future queue. There are several implementation problems that might come up, but the basic idea seems simple enough to start out with.

    Hell, I’ll do it and see where it goes.

    Meh. Seems silly to only reward those who write good plugins during these two months and ignore the other 10 months of the year. It just encourages people to delay releasing excellent plugins.

    I´m looking for a plugin so I can style the headlines.

    Yah, a good sIFR plugin is very welcome. CG-flashytitles isn’t maintained anymore… :'(
