Judging by what you said, you're already one :) Feel free to share
all your plugins on the Exchange, so all Nagios users can benefit
from them. That's all there is to it :)
If you want to get involved with the core plugin dev team, speak to
Ton Voon... See if he needs more hands on his team.
Well I suppose in that sense I am a plugin developer but I was really considering such things as: guidelines for interfacing with the Nagios host ( i.e. must a plugin return an exit code? How much output text is appropriate? Performance considerations? Security considerations? Anything else before unleashing my plugin on someone else's production systems?:-D), style considerations, documentation, versioning, revision control, licensing, etc. Do such guidelines / conventions exist? As far as becoming a core developer, I don't think I have the C behind me.:-)

Alex
