I have a simple pulgin idea for WordPress. I’d like to be able to manage categories and sidebar category links more easily. I’d like an admin area in wp-admin that allows you to easily associate ids to categories/sidebar category links. I’d also like to be able to select which category links display in the sidebar and which don’t. Also I’d like to be able to manage whether posts display on the front page or just in a category and vice versa.

I guess it would be called wp-category-management.

I think that wordpress lacks some kind of competition-plugin. I have made some sites for sports clubs, fan clubs and so on. And sometimes it would be great to have som way to manage compettions. The user would enter the details and answers into a form, and the admin can log on to the WP-admin and look at the answers and pick out the ones who is wrong. And for instance if you want it to draw a random name of all the the poeple with the right answers, you just submit the ones you have chosen, and you can choose how many winners there wil be chosen and when it’s done drawing it you get the results and the option to post it to the competition-page.

It would be really great with a plugin like this!

@Aaron – that playlist idea sounds interesting. I think I’ll need to dig in more and figure how it should work.

@Tzaddi: Gotcha, I’ve had similar problems and I think I’ve got a solution for this.. I’ll keep you posted!

@DrWatson32: that certainly sounds useful, I’ll look into that.

@Brandon: Sounds like AJAX edit comments but for post. Seems doable!

@Aulo: I don’t quite get what your trying to say.

@Ched: that sounds like an awesome idea. Might be little too extreme but I’m sure we can figure something out!

Thanks for submitting your plugin ideas, we’ll try our best to make all these cool plugin ideas happen! We’ll keep you guys posted!

Alternatively, a hotornot.com clone for wordpress would probably be very popular.

I asked Matt Mullenweg if he knew of any plugin for this problem and he didn’t. He suggested using a blogroll for the navigation might do the trick but I think that would solve one problem while potentially making others.
