Programming WordPress Plugins is a great opportunity to hone your PHP programming skills and learn a lot about the inner workings of WordPress. It’s a great way to give something back to the community in the form of a usable additions to WordPress functionality. It keeps with the spirit of WordPress and helps WordPress improve itself.
It’s almost like a drug. Once you make one plugin, you start thinking about ways to improve your plugin. You start to think about other plugin ideas, ways to improve the functionality and style of your site.
I have the Category Magic Plugin and I am working on a redesign of the inner functionality of it, doing tests to improve how it does its job. It’s a fun thing. How did I get the idea for it? A friend wanted to display double category posts in the sidebar and felt it should be easy to do. I embarked on the plugin to help him.
Any ideas for new WordPress Plugins?

hi, I got a plugin idea…
hide the media library tabs in both the ‘dashboard’ and ‘add media lightbox’ to prevent different authors from using or seeing or deleting other authors images…
