	Judging by what you said, you're already one :) Feel free to
share
	all your plugins on the Exchange, so all Nagios users can
benefit
	from them. That's all there is to it :)
	
	If you want to get involved with the core plugin dev team, speak
to
	Ton Voon... See if he needs more hands on his team.


Well I suppose in that sense I am a plugin developer but I was really
considering such things as: guidelines for interfacing with the Nagios
host ( i.e. standard plugin syntax?) How much output text is
appropriate, performance considerations, security considerations, style
considerations, documentation, versioning, revision control, licensing,
anything else before unleashing my plugin onto someone else's production
systems, etc. Do such guidelines / conventions exist? As far as becoming
a core developer, I don't think I have the C behind me (like any).:-) 

Regards,
Alex
