[wp-forums] number of plugin questions

[Michael Atkins]

If restructuring the forums is likely to be  considered in the future, I would suggest that 'Plugins and hacks' could renamed something like
'Plugins: for support of plugins hosted in Extend' & 'Hacks' renamed 'Plugin Development: For Plugin Coding Discussion' I've always thought that the tagline 'For Plugin Coding and Core hacking discussion' sends out the wrong message about hacking core.

We could have something similar for Themes as well - one forum for supporting themes hosted in extend and another for people creating their own themes.

Imagine how pissed off someone would be if we had to say they needed to repost?  Also there's a lot of cross over between, example not picked at random, MultiSite and specific plugins. Where would it go?
