What does Pods stand for? Well, it’s the plural of Pod. And what does Pod stand for? We should probably decide something totally awesome. If you’re wondering the back story, the letters themselves don’t stand for anything, but the name came from the logo in a way related to the Pea Pod, in which each …
Already thinking about Pods 2.1! So a new feature I’d like to work on is a Caching in Templates, Helpers, and Pod Pages – so that output will be pulled from cache until it’s expired – meaning less PHP processing and hitting the DB, plus certain things that don’t need to be updated often can …

Mike created a new plugin that adds a multi-instance Pods widget for use in sidebars.

I believe that we should build trust when people try out Pods, and one of the ways to do that is to offer up links to some themes that come Pods-enabled or Pods-friendly out of the box. Part of that process is connecting with interested Theme authors to ensure they have the information on how …
Scott mentioned in a comment yesterday how certain Pod features should be kept hidden at first and should only be available upon activation. As per a couple of plugins, it seems like the module concept successfully utilized. Check out plugins like Members and Theme My Login for an example of what I mean. Thoughts??
