[Rwp] seeking advice: general tips and suggestions for a c++ developer who wants to make an accessible plugin

[Scott Chesworth]

Ok, well I'd say that coming up with a user experience that doesn't
involve 500 parameters would be a good start while you're waiting for
someone with development knowledge to chime in.

I'll download the plug and take a look to see if there's any
suggestions I can make. It's a really cool start that this chap is
receptive to the idea and that you've got an ongoing dialog.
