New Plugin Spec: My Mirrors

Specifications before coding, or iterative product development; which?

Having just watched several videos (thank you Avdi) in which the wisdom of various software gurus were elucidated, I can see that the accepted answer is…

You’re wrong! Heretic!

…regardless of which side of the argument… …. …

So, regardless, I have completed (well, nearly completed) a spec for a new WordPress plugin.

Actually, a whole family of plugins, a freebie and three levels of Pay Me.

And so My Mirrors was born.

Now, in a complete reversal of my usual let’s-quick-make-the-lights-blink style, I have written an entire user manual before writing a single line of PHP.
