Yes, I was very conscious of just dragging up too much of what's already been said before about Open Source versus proprietary. You've added plenty of value to my little discussion, which I'll follow up once I'm in the office tomorrow (it's 7 minutes to 12 midnight over here). Just to clarify, I wasn't questioning the security of WordPress, I was suggesting that some certification method for Plugins would help avoid Plugins introducing security and instability issues. Thanks again, and speak soon... Hi Scott, thanks for the quality comment!

Thanks again, and speak soon…

I am thinking that some of the proprietary versus open source issues may have been tackled already by a company called <a href="http://www.knownow.com/products/wordpress_enterprise_edition/" rel="nofollow">"KnowNow" -- they offer an "Enterprise" version of WordPress</a> for larger organizations. I am aware of a number of institutions and larger companies (Ford Motors, for one) that use WordPress as a framework, and evidently they are OK with the security of the code as it is now. Continued success in plugin development. Scott Scott Frangos, Managing Editor WebHelperMagazine.com Hi -
