Wow, thank you! Originally, I developed Manga+Press as an alternative to ComicPress because CP didn’t really suit my needs at all. I’ve thought about partnering up now and then but I guess the problem is Manga+Press is sort of my baby and I think for now—though I’m sorry to say this—I’d almost prefer to keep it that way. The other part of the problem is M+P 3.0 is supposed to take advantage of custom post-types and taxonomies for managing comics. Finally, the main issue that eclipses everything else is that I’ve just started a job as a PHP developer, and for now, I’m too busy learning Zend Framework and getting used to a new sleep schedule to dedicate to a dev team. Either way, though, I think it would be a good idea for the future—projects like this usually only need one person to get it off the ground but managing the long-term outlook takes more people. Basically, it’s something that I’ll consider eventually—just not for the immediate future

Hi Jessica, good work with the latest version of Manga Press. You know, I was talking to Brad, the developer of Stripshow, another WordPress comic plugin. We were discussing how ComicPress has so many users because it has a team of developers, which gives people confidence that it will be around and supported for a long time. Manga Press and Stripshow are dependent on only one person though. Brad agrees and is now looking for developers to work on Stripshow to make it bigger. I was wondering- instead of you each working on your own separate projects, how about merging Manga Pres and Stripshow into one plugin, and both of you forming a dev team? If you could find 1 or 2 other devs, then you could build a platform as good as ComicPress (which by the way I think is too bloated and complex). What do you think?
