In the early stages of this, it will be a manually entered item. Down the track, all going well, perhaps filled in based on the category the user was in, when they clicked on "Become an Editor". This is more portable for different users of the plug-in than the drop down menu, simply because of performance and directory size issues.

It is still too early to say exactly how an editor will reach this form, but hopefully it will end up being a custom tag, which will send the category information as well as the user to the form. The form will then be automatically filled in where information is known. When the user submits the application, the data is stored in the EditorPending table as well as an email of the data being forwarded to admin. Also, the editor will recieve a "Thank you for your application" email, which you will be able to customize. You can see there are a lot of steps and work in this, this is why it is going to be slowly introduced over a couple of versions.

In any case the table fields are there, how they get filled in is something I am going to have to figure out.

Hopefully the fields in the table will be sufficient to suit the varied needs of different users sites. Of course you can choose not to include any of the fields when you customize the template file for the form. I hope to include a default template (almost identical to the one on my site), so customization is a breeze!
