Preferably we can find a way to have it in our whiteboard.

There have been lots of clarifications at legal-discuss
recently.

Would you be able to summarise your plugin here on
forrest dev.

The plugin includes content from a WordPress blog directly from the MySQL backend. The idea is to use existing infrastructure from the (local) WordPress installation to post, edit, maintain, etc. and then gather the content for publishing through the plugin. The administrative interface (a possible security problem) is kept off the published site.

The dependencies thus far:

antlr-2.7.6.jar
asm-1.5.3.jar
asm-attrs-1.5.3.jar
backport-util-concurrent-3.0.jar
cglib-nodep-2.2.jar
commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar
commons-collections-3.1.jar
commons-dbcp-1.2.2.jar
commons-lang-2.3.jar
commons-logging-1.1.jar
commons-pool-1.3.jar
dom4j-1.6.1.jar
dynadto-1.0.jar
ehcache-1.4.1.jar
hibernate-3.2.6.jar
jta.jar
log4j-1.2.11.jar
mysql-connector-java-5.1.6-bin.jar
spring-2.5.4.jar
xom-1.0.jar


The legal-discuss@ list wants to approach each use-case
as it comes up. Perhaps we have a unique situation.

I haven't checked each license yet. I wanted to make sure the plugin worked the way I expected before worrying about that too much. It could use a few more eyes, but it does work.

I want to use the same approach for a Menalto Gallery 2 plugin that allows the use of existing infrastructure for the administrative tasks and then gathers the content for a static site.

If either of these plugins spark developer interest, let's see what we can do about getting them in the whiteboard.
