yojoe- I'm willing to work on such a plugin but wanted to know if it would fit within the existing plugin framework well.
I know if falls outside the scope of the existing GS core.
Thinking about it, I could solve my specific problem fairly simply by creating a page template that would look through a subdirectory that matched the page slug and use that to serve up content, using a file in that folder to specify a user and password for access. I might play with that first to see if it is workable.
I am familiar with another blog package that works kind of the other way around from get simple... a plugin can have a permalink associated with it and then any call to that permalink gets handed off to the plugin to generate the content, without the need to create a page. I don;t know if the GS framework allows that.
(For example, I create a plugin to do something and give it a permalink of "myplugin". Then going to www.sample.com/myplugin or www.sample.com/index.php?id=myplugin will render the page, and expect myplugin to fill in the content. Sort of a virtual page.)
