[QUOTE="Dadeo, post: 586695, member: 27204"] Heh Heh, while I can appreciate the motivational value of that statement Pileave, I cannot agree. Even though there are these two bugs in MyFilms, they have always been there and never prevented it from being included as a popular/maintained plugin. The truth is, that MyFilms has worked consistently in several versions of MP, including in MP 1.1.0 RC1. In my mind, a plugin that is not 'maintained', is one that is no longer developed to support versions of MP. However, if the plugin is coded well enough to work in every version of MP I do not see why it should be penalized for not issuing a new release! If it's features are good enough to keep attracting users, like My Films does, then what is the need for a new version? I do not see endless requests for new features from My Films users which I do for many other plugins. Of course, I do agree with you that if the latest source code is not available, one could consider it is not truly open source :) EDIT: You do have a good point though, that if bugs are reported and not fixed in many months, that it is not properly 'maintained' [/QUOTE]
