I’ve just made public the release of version 0.6 of the Syndicate Out WordPress plugin. The latest version can be downloaded from the plugin repository.
This release adds a couple of the outstanding things on the long-term roadmap (custom field syndication, making the plugin clear up after itself when uninstalled via the WordPress uninstall system), as well as bringing with it a slew of bug fixes. The full changelist follows:
Development of this plugin began this evening with some exploratory posts to the Twitter API. I’m going to work on putting together a roadmap for the project over the next couple of days, pulling together all the suggestions posted previously, and prioritizing the tasks. It’s likely I’ll concentrate on posting to Twitter in the first instance before moving on to pulling into WordPress from Twitter feeds after that. In the mean time do feel free to add your thoughts on what you’d like to see in what I hope will be one of the most complete WordPress Twitter plugins available.
As you would expect with a project of this kind, you can follow the progress of the plugin via the Flutt.co.uk Development Twitter feed: @fluttdev.
Here’s a fun little game to play if you’ve got a few minutes to kill: zip over to your favourite search engine and search for “Live View - AXIS“. The default page title for the AXIS family of webcams is just this, so you’ll get a list of public webcams (both intentionally public, and some which I suspect are not!) from all around the world. It helps to have a good internet connection (although obviously you can’t account for the other end of the link!). My favourite so far has to be Cavicam.
Hopefully in the next few weeks we’ll be adding one or two of our cameras to this list for public viewing!
