Re: Plugin Guidelines - Github

Some basic plugin guidelines that I've learned over the years:

• Follow the CakePHP coding standard (http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/contributing/cakephp-coding-conventions.html)
  
• Make sure you have a readme explaining how to install your plugin
• Make sure you have a license for the plugin
• Unit tests!!!
• Use composer
• Read the official CakeDC plugin (http://www.cakedc.com/plugin-standard)

Hey guys

I'm not new to CakePHP (1.1) but I'm very interested in contributing to the community and also playing around by creating open source plugins.

I've set something up on github which I plan to commit to when I get free time, but what type of advice or guidelines do you suggest for doing this? I hear mention of providing tests, anything else would be appreciated.

First steps of the project: https://github.com/Gevie/cakephp-simple-blog

(I know a blog is over-done but I'm doing this more as a side hobby, but also to introduce to my project in the future, so why not make it open source...)

Cheers
