Jan,

But these are not our plugins. We are contributors, but not authors. This is the way we promote these plugins between each other. In such a way we can collect these plugins in one place and show users our guarantee in terms of compatibility, updates, etc. Nothing special.

If you think that this is not right, and not corresponding to WordPress rules, then we will remove the menu. That’s it.

This is not a spam. Refer to our last message here.

Dear Allimaple,

Thank you for your recent messages and topics created on WordPress. Your opinion is really important for us. However, we are not trying to pollute any plugins and would like our users to focus on the options they need rather than on the panel. It is just a collection of recommended tools which are compatible between each other and constantly supported by us and other WordPress contributors. Menu is is used to advertise authors of these plugins as you can see.

The access to all these plugins were received from the original authors and it can be revoked any time. Besides, these plugins were old (more than 2 years without updates). We thought that WordPress is a community and we are able to support old themes/plugins it in such a way. But now it seems that is not true, and we need to remove our work completely, because some of the authors just don’t like the way we do that.

We will try to remove these changes during the week…

We’ll let you know about our done work! Currently we have a process of studying and analyzing of these plugins. Soon we will provide a progress report.Stay tuned!

We are not spambots. We are real people and real community members. We do not have “approval” from the WP team to contact with plugin authors, we just asked for the ability to become a contributor and how we can do it. And they said that yes, this is possible, but only with the consent of the author. So we write directly to authors. We just want to support great plugins (such plugins are selected by us) which were updated long time ago. And for this purpose we need to get access to repositories that existing users could receive updates automatically.

We also have some stages of work like every project. At this stage, we write to the plugins authors who didn’t update their products long ago. Of course, we study and analyze each plugin before sending the letter with contribution offer to the plugin authors. Probably our letters look identical or as spam, but it’s only because there are a lot of authors and plugins, and we just cannot write a full review with future plans and changes which will be implemented (because we need to receive approval from author at first). After receiving a consent or refusal of all plugins that interesting us, we will start the following stage of direct development and introduction of updatings.
We have no reason to add malicious code. This is stupid.

We just offer our help to the community. You may accept this offer or reject it. We have already got approvals from certain number of authors who do not have any plans on updating their products.

We aren’t involved in any illegal affairs. Earlier on forum there was a question about the possibility of cooperation with the authors of neglected plugins. And it said that it is not a problem to cooperate with the authors. So we decided to help WordPress community with these plugins. We only collect information about plugins, which were simply neglected by authors and have not been updated with the latest changes of WordPress. Some of the authors refused, but some of them agreed. Sorry that it looks like spam.
