RE: It's Alive! - STEEM/SBD Donation Plugin For Wordpress + Free Download Link + Installation Instructions
Almost a full two weeks ahead of schedule, damn you guys are good! Do you have any plans to add it to the to wordpress repository, to enable direct installation from wordpress admin?
We submitted it to the wordpress repository this afternoon for review. It takes 5-10 days but they have already responded. Apparently we included .js libraries that wordpress already includes so it was a bit redundant. We were just including them for compatibility. Everything looks good now , we just were dead set on the steem community getting to it first so here it goes.
Thanks for the quick reply.
That's great news! It's just that personally I can't help but be suspicious that third party plugins/addons/apps etc could have malicious code contained within them.
Not saying you or your team have, or would even consider including such code! But with all the stories you hear these days, you can never be too careful. I'm sure I'm not the only one that likes to air on the side of caution, and only install things from reputable sources.
Again, I do not intented to imply that you are not trustworthy! Safety first!
The WP repository is another layer safeguarding against this. While the humans that review submissions aren't perfect, their review process is intended to find any submissions with malicious code and keep their applications out of the repository. There is greater risk installing an extension that isn't available in the WP repository. That said, I'm very sensitive to security myself and tend to review all .js and .php files that are packaged in any plugin I install in a Wordpress site - even if it's already been reviewed by personnel at WP :)
Oh I totally agree. This is our first official wordpress plugin (meaning the first one we've uploaded for distribution through their repository) It's a good thing they caught that though because it tremendously reduced the footprint size of our plugin installation. For the record, we'd never use a plugin to insert malacious code to anyone. You can ask anyone I know, I take security very seriously... sometimes too seriously according to some of my friends lol. At any rate, it's all very exciting. Can't wait to release more software and apps man. We have some great things coming down the pipeline this year for steem.
