Andre got in touch with me a couple nights ago with an interesting plugin request. He wanted to be able to have MT automatically send files out via FTP to another host where the web site would actually be living.
So, after about one hour, I had something to send out to him. One hour. I don't want to think about the amount of time I would spend writing something like this in MT 2.x.
It works, but it needs some serious polish and a configuration front-end. Right now, configuration involves hand-editing the plugin, which I try to avoid at all costs when I can. If anybody actually wants to play around with it, let me know and I will make it available.

This would be incredibly useful to me. I have a local copy of MT on my laptop to experiment with, and now I have to post to it and the real blog on the server; your plugin would be fantastic for this.
I would like to check out your remote publish plug-in. I was speaking with someone about that today. Are the configuration options generally available at the top of the plug-in or buried down deep? Not sure if/when you'll get around to the polish so send it on over.
I have been waiting for this feature for what seems like forever. The lack of it is one of the things that caused me to explore other alternatives to MT. This might just be the thing to make me reconsider, in some cases.
