Hint taken.  I'm about to dissappear for a few days over christmas.  I'll 
sort it out next week.  I'm also going to rip out the GD plugins because
I'm sick of seeing reports about TT installation failing because of them.

Any takers for the Template::Plugin::GD collection?

Same goes for any other core plugins that really should be separated out.
Template::Plugin::XML, Template::Plugin::Latex, etc.

Sorry Josh, my attention has been elsewhere.

This is what I've got outstanding from you:

* RELATIVE path buglet
  http://tt2..org/pipermail/templates/2005-January/007141.html

  Yep, looks good.

* IGNORE_PLUGIN_BASE/IGNORE_STD_PLUGINS patch
  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2005-August/007691.html

  I don't like this I'm afraid.  On an aesthetic level, I think options
  should be positive (DO_THIS) rather than negative (DONT_DO_THIS) wherever
  possible.  So it would be better to allow the user to explicitly set
  STD_PLUGINS and/or PLUGIN_BASE to undef.  Also, Template::Provider::Allow
  and T::P::Deny provide a more general mechanism for restricting access
  to resources.

  But above all else there's no tests or documentation, so that one doesn't 
  make the grade.

* split bug
  http://tt2.org/pipermail/templates/2005-October/007982.html

  Yep, looks good.

Sorry Josh, but I don't have any recollection of you asking, so it's not a 
rejection stamp.  However if you want to be a TT maintainer then you do need 
to convince me that you would be as commited to the documentation and tests 
as to the codebase. 

Cheers
