Hi guys! Looking for a developer interested in developing a SilverStripe plugin for Z-Ray - a new debugging tool for PHP devs we (Zend) are working on. Can't offer payment, but there are other perks :-) Any takers?
We've moved the forum!
Please use forum.silverstripe.org for any new questions

What is it?
What would be involved?
What are the benefits?
Main benefits are publicity and recognition as a plugin developer for Zend. And there's a contest to be announced soon with some cool prizes :-) But, like I said, can't offer money.
Z-Ray is basically a toolbar that displays a variety of information on the request, on all the different PHP elements constructing the page. Best way to describe Z-Ray is to show it in action, in this case on a WordPress app:
http://54.174.160.159/wordpress/
The right-most panel is an example of what a plugin looks like. It's a plugin we developed for WordPress devs and shows WordPress-specific info.
That's what a SilverStripe plugin would do - show devs SilverStripe info on the app they're developing...
The rightmost panel is blank :<

Ooooh, you mean the right most button/tab on the Z-ray toolbar.
Ok, I see. Seems like a neat tool. But to develop for it I have to buy it first right?
That's odd. Don't you see a "WordPress" panel with the WordPress icon?
:-)
Z-Ray is bundled with Zend Server. So to use it, yes, you'd need to install Zend Server which is a commercial product. There are however options to apply for a free license. If this interests you, Skype me at danielbe.zend
