You can imagine something like every one hour OpenX will call on a http link to send out an Ad. Do you think I can use plugins for that ? Or is there a better way of doing it ?

Anyone given it a shot?

What’s the easiest way to grab latest source, btw? Is the repo publicly available? I’m a newbie to openx, but am reasonably comfortable with dealing with open source itself…

Will there or is there a plugin wiki? When should we expect version 1.0 of the framework? Exciting exciting :) I’m looking forward to trying to build some new modules.

That means that when the hook is executed in the delivery engine there's no file/folder scanning, it just executes the registered components. The hook caller is <a href='https://developer.openx.org/fisheye/browse/openx/trunk/lib/max/Delivery/common.php?r=36102#l634' rel="nofollow">here</a> Also: One of the major performance benefits came from the "compiled" delivery engine, the plugin enable mechanism also allows delivery plugins' .delivery code to be merged into a common file "var/plugins/cache/mergedDeliveryFunctions.php" so this file is included when locating the plugin's code.
