Check out a demo of TextboxList before reading!
While working on my big and exciting new project, I decided to include an input that resembles the famous Apple Mail to: textfield. I’d seen it in Facebook before, which has a really decent implementation of this concept (it work well, but it doesn’t respect any modern programming principles; basically, it’s a big tag soup with lots of inline Javascript)
I created my own, MooTools 1.2 compatible, in just 5kb. It’s not only small, but also really frexible! Here are some notes of the creation process and how to implement it in your own projects.

I’ve taken some time to produce a small but incredibly useful plugin for Wordpress. It’s called Plugin Uploader and it’ll do just that: allow you to upload plugins through the admin interface.
It can still be buggy and it has not been widely tested in different server configurations. However, I’ve been using it on a couple of sites and everything’s going smoothly. All you need to run it is set two folder permissions.
