@alexleonard - I often wish I could tweak images myself from within wordpress after I upload them but before I hit publish. Basic stuff like brightening, square-cropping, rounded corners, normalizing, fill-flashing etc would be handy. A lot of people seem to be using Wordpress as a CMS solution - real estate websites and the like.
@sxoop: It really would be an incredible tool. It's not something that affects me directly as I have all my image editing tools already, but that being said, if I was at a public computer, it would be really handy to know that there was a tool built into WordPress.
And most definitely our clients would appreciate it. I recently had a client inform me that image uploading in WordPress wasn't working. On further inspection the client was uploading a word doc with an image in it. Things like this might help them realise that they can't upload a word doc thinking it's "an image". Oh how I laughed (the only way to stop me from shooting myself).

When you have the WP one done, I'll give it a plug!

what about movable type?

@mneylon Yep. Must do that too - especially since it's perl-based too.

@donncha That would be cool. Cheers.

If you need help with that I can point you towards a few people, though the MT4 stuff should be relatively easy

@mneylon I think I'll just target MT4. I had a look at MT a long time ago. I loved their server-side plugin mechanism.

Targetting MT4 makes sense. Most people have moved to MT4.I'm getting my enterprise licenses in the next couple of days :)

That would be an incredible function to have integrated with WordPress. Especially for client's use.
