Hi everyone! Thanks to everyone who expressed interest in this plugin. I've finally packaged it up and put it up for sale (selling a digital download is not as simple as I would have expected). Anyway, there's a new plugins page on the CE site:
http://www.communityengine.org/plugins.html And you can buy the CE_Facebooker plugin from there. Please note that it needs the latest version of CE to work (although it *should* work with anything greater than 0.10.8). The plugin costs $299.00 USD for a single-site license, and this includes one year of version upgrades (including bugfixes and improvements). I'm offering it to early-birds like yourselves for $250!. Obviously, I'll happily provide you with support over e-mail or chat to make sure you get the plugin installed successfully. The plugin includes a reasonably-complete test-suite, as well as installation instructions in the README. As I mentioned before, this is a bit of an experiment in 'commercial plugins' for CE, so thanks for being patient and please let me know if you have any questions.
