WordPress Station

Trev’s Travels
Trevor has released what looks like an excellent learning tool for WP users who want to venture into learning more about plugin development. Basically he’s released everything you need to create your plugin, simply without the specific function.

I haven’t tested it yet, but I did look at the file, and it’s very well commented. Options for widgets, including something like into a post/page and a normal plugin function call are included, as well as an options page for your plugin if you need it.

I’m actually surprised I haven’t seen anything like this before, though there are several tutorials floating around.

Binary Bonsai

Is offering up a one year hosting (valued at $95) plus domain registration to any plugin author who can code a plugin that would give a user a notification via Growl, a Mac application that handles a multitude of notifications for various types of applications. It very well appears that others would be interested in this plugin as well, and potentially other rewards would be in store. So fire up the text editor, and commence to coding!
