What Plugin Authors Shouldn’t Do

Mark Jaquith has published his tongue in cheek version of guidelines that plugin authors should NOT DO or else the plugin would end up being removed. The list is not comprehensive and does not include all situations in which a plugin would be removed but the advice Mark gives at the end of the post should be heeded.

Be cool, think of how your plugin benefits its users, and write awesome plugins.

Also read through the comments, especially for Mark’s take on #5.
