Well I suppose in that sense I am a plugin developer but I was really
considering such things as: guidelines for interfacing with the Nagios host
(i.e. standard plugin syntax?) How much output text is appropriate,
performance considerations, security considerations, style considerations,
documentation, versioning, revision control, licensing, anything else before
unleashing my plugin onto someone else's production systems, etc. Do such
guidelines / conventions exist? As far as becoming a core developer, I don't
think I have the C behind me (like any).:-)

Regards,
Alex
