[New Plugin] To register users

I have created a new plug-in for use on this website. The plug-in will allow ability to register users in Movable Type. I have not installed the plug-in here yet, but will do so very soon, and will also shift the old 1000+ users we have.

Right now I have to contact MT people about whether or not I release the plug-in in public, since the feature it offers is expected to be a part of the paid version. If they say ‘yes’, then I will release the plug-in, otherwise I won’t.

I am also considering over the possibility that they allow to release the plug-in as a paid plug-in instead of a free one, though I will like it to be released as free.

I contacted them via their both websites (mt and sixapart) about an hour ago, but it’s their pretty early morning(or very late night) over there right now.

I haven’t got any response from anyone from Six Apart. Hence I took the decision myself.
I am not releasing the plug-in,
(Perhaps this is what Ben/Mena want, but also don’t want to be bad to say no, and hence didn’t reply)

A bit frustrating reading that you have something that could help people but you won't release it. So why write about it?

Thanks for wasting my time in my desperate search for this badly needed plug-in. Please don't bother posting about it unless you intend to share.
