Title: Awhile back, raganwald created a thread with the sole purpose of discussing what the community is hacking on. Not start-ups and/or business, but just hacking on for fun in our spare time. I really enjoyed that conversation and would like to have more like it.<p>With that goal in mind, I suggest we use Saturdays to highlight our open-source and/or side projects that we're working on. Saturday seems like a logical fit since it is generally a slow news day, and what better time to talk about our "weekend projects" than the weekend?<p>So, to get the proverbial ball rolling, I submit to you my most recent side project which I released earlier this week, the WordPress Console.<p>http://blog.jerodsanto.net/2009/06/introducing-the-wordpress-console/<p>If you've developed in Rails then you know the joy of script/console. I have been writing a lot of WordPress plugins for clients lately, and wanted a way to interact with the development environment similar to how I can when writing a Rails app. This desire resulted in the WordPress Console, which is a plugin that creates an in-browser shell where you can execute arbitrary PHP code with the full WordPress env loaded.<p>It isn't a huge technical achievement or even all that challenging to create, but it is kinda cool, imo. The project is also still wet behind the ears, but usable.<p>What do you think? Worth developing further? Have ideas to make it more awesome? Anybody want to join in and hack on it with me?
