 * How can I contribute to this project? We are working on modifying this plugin
   to store ALL files on the CDN instead of locally and on the CDN (which it currently
   does).

 * I have greatly improved this plugin. I would like to submit the code to you, 
   but have no way of contacting you directly.

 * that sounds great. maybe the developer can take on board the improvements so 
   that you dont have to create a new plugin.

 * if the developer of this plugin isn’t really taking it anywhere maybe you could
   release it separately? i would be interested in testing the version you have 
   made.

 * I went through the current codebase and made quite a few changes. These changes
   brought it up to the standards for CloudFiles and PSR2 formatting.
 * You can view the code at:
    [https://github.com/giftcards/rackspace-cloudfiles-cdn](https://github.com/giftcards/rackspace-cloudfiles-cdn)
 * I tried to send a PR, but found that the clone ([https://github.com/wp-plugins/rackspace-cloudfiles-cdn](https://github.com/wp-plugins/rackspace-cloudfiles-cdn))
   was actually a read only instance of the repository and not maintained by you.
 * Let me know if you have any questions, as it stands right now your code doesn’t
   set the correct headers for images. Plus, we really need to consider how to handle
   when OpenCloud updates. The plugin is well out of date from it (they are up to
   1.9.3).
 * Lastly, I implemented the ability to be notified from WordPress when it had to“
   crunch” the image to make smaller ones. It will upload the main one they upload,
   and then find the scaled versions and send those to CloudFiles as well. It bypasses
   the need to upload everything to CloudFiles initially.
 * **Tested with:**
    Multi-site (5 sites) WordPress 3.5 Single file upload Multiple
   file upload Large images, single and batch that are scaled Small images, single
   and batch that are not scaled
 * Read the last commit and I explained what I had to change.

 * chadatgiftcards – just updated the plugin (above – and linked below) to the latest
   version of php-opencloud.

 * Why did you comment this out?
 *     ```
       // Verify file was successfully uploaded
       	// if (isset($_SESSION['cdn']->api_settings->remove_local_files)) {
       		if (verify_successful_upload($file_to_upload) == true) {
       			@unlink($file_to_upload);
       		}
       	// }
       ```
   
 * Most people don’t want their files removed immediately upon upload. What if CloudFiles
   isn’t going to be used and we switch to S3? We just lost all our media. If you
   put that option back into the system, I will make the switch over to your plugin.
   Otherwise I am going to keep what I have because it works and doesn’t remove 
   from my local system constantly.

 * I commented it out because that is a feature request I’m working on ([http://wordpress.org/support/topic/synchronize?replies=9](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/synchronize?replies=9)).
   Currently the local files are removed after they’re uploaded. This was a change
   I made from the original code because I didn’t think people would want to pay
   for both hosting disk space AND CDN disk space.

 * You might not think that, however from an enterprise level where you have many
   thousands of images being maintained by a Marketing department it matters. For
   a small company, you are more likely than not correct. However, when you start
   working with larger chains of command one must think on that scale. I could never
   approve a plugin like this knowing it will remove our media as soon as it’s uploaded.
 * When you get that feature done please let me know. I would like to take another
   look at your plugin (though you are posting in someone else’s plugin right now).

 * You’re right, I am posting in here. My original intent was just to let you know
   I had updated to that latest php-opencloud version with the plugin I had created.
   I did not mean to hijack another thread. If you want updates on my plugin, you
   will need to post in that thread on my plugin, I will no longer post in threads
   on this plugin. I apologize, once again, for hijacking this thread.
