Yeah, I just bumped into this tonight as well. Not sure how I missed it before, it's seems to have just popped up from nowhere.

Have yet to try it, but the feature set is impressive. Looks like Aqsis now has some open source competition. :)

Mauritus emailed me about this last night... It should be supported in the next version of Ribbit....

Good news Danni! :thumbsup:

One request, can you put a version number, or even easier, just a date/time stamp next to your Ribbit plugin on the download page so people (read:me) can see at a glance if there's been an update?
