I’ve read somewhere on Matt’s blog that WP2.7 is going to be released sometime next week.
Meanwhile i have been working on the MultiPlug plugin and how it fits nicely into Events, EasyBan and Adrotate.
Also i’ve been working on *documentation* for other developers so they can hook into the MultiPlug plugin.
Here’s a quick screenshot on how plugins check and ask about MultiPlug if its not available:
This message is dashboard-wide. So you cannot miss it. And is shown when MultiPlug is not present when for example Events is activated. EasyBan and Adrotate use this exact same method and it works nicely i think. Nothing intrusive yet very clear that you need another piece of the puzzle.
With AdRotate something weird is going on and i have no clue yet what that is. Whenever AdRotate is put in a subfolder it doesn’t acknowledge the MultiPlug plugin anymore and thus won’t work. I’m investigating it and updates will follow soon.
[update]
I also realised that with the internal links of WP2.7 changing backward compatibility to WP2.6 will be flawed at best. So my stand on it will be “it might work”.
I am working with it in the free wordpress area, and i must say I do not like it. To much switchables to much dropdown menu’s half english half dutch, a bit like iGoogle but then different.
