If you would like me to stop writing plugins until I learn the xhtml standard I can do that... but I might just get bored with it and go do something else.
Well that would be a personal choice I guess
Personally I have been in the internet business since 1995 as a project manager, and only the really big companies (like Lost Boys/Icon Medialab I worked for) can afford to have 'developers' that only code and then use front-end developers to put the two together.
So it is just a matter of how you define 'developer' and 'programmer'. However, where I come from they need to have a good knowlegde of both, unless, like I said, the company has enough money
But back to your remark: since Open Source is usually a way of collaborating and learning from another (see my opening post), I am more than willing to pitch in some of my time.
What I think we need:
1) test server for current version 1.0.1
2) test server for 1.1 beta
3) people that will add a plugin on test server and some test data & validate the output
4) inform programmers of the result
As to 1 & 2 I am willing to donate serverspace on my Linux server (Ubuntu), but I might not have all the necessary stuf to test ALL plugins (some use stuff like PEAR and or access to outside services...)
Nevertheless: if people are interested why not try to set something up?
