I thought your intention was to provide an example for plugin developers to use to create their own blocks, which this would accomplish without the need for an additional core plugin. I don't like the idea of adding a new plugin that provides a block to core just so we can have a plugin that provides a block, that's never been the Habari way. If the overwhelming majority of users aren't going to use it it's always been our policy that it should be left in -extras and I don't see any of the suggested options so far (aside from dashboard modules) being used by the vast majority of our install base. That said, if we wanted to provide a plugin that really used blocks well (ie: got block wrappers and scopes right, used the block CSS classes assigned, etc.) and offered some common requests (monthly archives, recent posts, recent comments) I wouldn't be opposed to that. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/habari-dev
