One miilion

Today at 10:34 CEST my plugin NextGEN gallery hit the one million download counter (This is the 3rd plugin at wordpress.org, didn’t count Akismet as plugin). I really never , never expected this… I remember very good my blog post more that two years ago, that I start the work on this plugin. It was a great expericence to get so much feedback from the whole world for such a little pice of code. 

I would like to take a moment to thank the following people  for being a part of my plugin (Sorry if you are not mentioned, it’s hard to maintain this list) :

    well I wouldn’t count nextgen gallery as plugin either, because I always install it right after wordpress in every installation, lol.

    Congratulation, it’s great, still not perfect but far the best out there. Keep the good work, please.
