Sure you can. As many as you can write. You will be judged on all of them separately. 2. Yes, unless it is a complete rewrite with completely different purpose, which would make it a new plugin effectively. 3. Just register and post your releases/plugins/updates/request for feedback/other information. Thats it for now. We will provide an email address for submitting plugins in the latter part of the competition. bmsterling:

Can we submit a couple of plugins or are we limited to one? 2. I have a plugin that I was going to update for 2.5 and will be adding a bunch a new functionality but its been out since January but not update since 2.5 came out, is this still excluded? 3. I registered and I see that I already have access to write a post, do I just start writing about my plugin or is there another step I am missing? Thanks.

You can then write a post about your plugin, offer it for testing and receive feedback from users. Idealien: register on this blog and we will give you author permissions.

The answer for the first question about "How do I start writing on the Plugin Blog and submit my ideas for feedback from readers?" is a little unclear. Can/should I describe the plugin through a post on this blog? I would be looking to do that when I have the documentation / support site setup as it would be interesting to see what other ideas people can suggest on top of mine with category templating functionality as the base.

This might really be splitting hairs but I see no problem with that. You can use code from an existing plugin to create new functionality.

Or must it be 100% your code? On the topic of new plugins, can you use code from an existing plugin if you want to include a feature that exists elsewhere with your plugin?

Or must it be 100% your code?
