Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records Simple WP FirePHP version 0.2.0 as active, updated 16y ago and tested up to WordPress 2.9.
Overview
About this plugin
I like the very simple API to FirePHP and find it very useful for debugging WordPress plugins and themes. There are a few other plugins out there that integrate FirePHP, notable WP-FirePHP and WP-Logger, but both add complexity that I don’t want to have to deal with for a quick debugging task.
org/extend directory means that I’ll be able to install it on the fly for a blog that someone hasn’t given me shell or ftp access to.
Plans
I don’t think I’ll do a whole lot more with this, since I want to keep it pretty simple, but I plan to make sure the plugin loads first (see wp-logger) and perhaps add a simple options screen. Might also add PHP4 support, but probably not.

“Tested up to” is directory metadata supplied by the plugin author. WP PlugIndex does not turn an older declaration into a claim that the plugin is incompatible.
