I have not been alone in asking for a wiki for Mango documentation, and Laura has openly admitted that the documentation is a little... lacking.
Well, it's finally here:
http://wiki.mangoblog.org
The thing about wikis is that anyone can contribute. The thing about people is that almost everyone is lazy. (I am no exception to this rule!)
Laura has graciously allowed me to host the wiki and pointed the subdomain at it; so it is, at least, semi-official. I am in the process of copying over the existing documentation and trying to spruce it up some. I hope to find a way to keep a list of page stubs that need to be filled out, so that we have a running to-do list of documentation that needs to be written or clarified.
I can't do this on my own, at least not in anything resembling a short amount of time. But I know there are a lot of users and plugin authors out there. This is my charge to you: If you come in search of documentation, and find it to be missing or not crystal clear, please, please, take a moment of your time to register an account and improve the wiki in one trivial way.
Fix a spelling mistake. Add an empty reference to a function that exists but doesn't get mentioned. Or, if you're feeling generous, go nuts and write pages and pages of documentation. No matter what your contribution, large or small, you will have my eternal gratitude and that of those that come after you, in search of the same documentation.
And, if you contribute something to the wiki and find me at a conference (or better yet, a CFUG meeting), I promise to buy you a beer.
I built it. Will you come contribute?

At the request of a user, I've added the ability to enable verbose logging in Mango by clicking a link on the LogViewer page.
Now, a link is displayed underneath the "Clear Logs" link to enable verbose logging. The link is not hidden when verbose logging is on, so don't take that to mean it's not working. If you're getting full exception dumps in the logs, then it's working properly.
Thanks to Mark for the idea.

A while ago, at the request of a friend, I made some changes to my project that implements Seb Duggan's SmartType CFC as a mango plugin, but I never posted a notice that it had been updated, so here it is.
I've incremented the version number to 1.0, and with this version a settings page is included so you can choose which character conversions you want to enable.
Update: You can see the comments below for the changes that have been made, but I've bumped the version to 1.1 and included Seb's changes.

Late (like, really, really late -- thanks, insomnia!) last night I pushed out a change for my Scribe plugin for Mango. It includes a bug fix for usage in conjunction with PowerMail. If you're using both Scribe and PowerMail, consider this a critical update. Otherwise, you can skip it if you like.

- Version:
- 1.4.2
- Requires:
- Mango Blog 1.4.3+
