The incentive would be to make a working plugin - surely that is reward enough?

Well, I look at the requests  and development forums on MyBB and its kind of the same thing - it all looks super hard. I struggle to find a simple thing that is actually within my capabilities. But many of the easy plugins have been done. I see what you mean about it being something we want rather than something we are challenged to do though.

My intention was not to get you and/or Rateu to write the code - it was more that if we had a few of us who are not very experienced coders working on the same thing that we could learn from each other. Indeed, that is exactly what I want - to make something so I can learn and understand what the code is doing - though I learnt a lot today looking through those plugins.
