@Dave: You can download it here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-contact-form/

Obvious question: Where can I download the plugin? No link in your announcement and no link to the plugin on your plugins page.

So…..how do we get it?

I’d prefer to keep a contact form out of the core. Seems like bloat. I mean, there’s obviously a lot of room for variation as evidenced by the current menagerie of contact form plugins. Why mess with that?

Just thinking… when is a contact form going to be core ?

Thanks for the feedback.

I intend on a complete refactor of the plugin along the lines of my other plugins so that all the functionality is encapsulated within a class.

Awesome!
I was unlucky in my attempt to contact Ryan, some time ago I wanted too to update this plugin. Half of the support questions I get for my plugins are actually because of WP-ContactForm inconsistencies.

A few comments:
- first line is most likely a typo:
load_plugin_textdomain(’wpcf’,$path = ‘wp-content/plugins/wp-contact-form’);
what’s this “$path=” doing here ?
- getip() is generic enough as a function name to be sure to collide with another function someday
- why not regroup all the options into a single db entry?

Nicely done! I’ve had a few sites using this and disabled the plugin due to the various issues - it’s nice to be able to reactivate it. Thanks!
