Emailed Author: Plugins that send data to other servers, call js from other servers, and/or require passwords and APIs to function are required to have a full and complete Readme so we can make sure you're providing the users with all the information they need before they install your plugin. Our goal with this is to make sure everyone knows what they're installing and what they need to do before they install it. No surprises :)
This is especially important if your plugin is making calls back to your own servers. For the most part, we do not permit offloading of images or code, however in the case where you are providing a service (like Disqus or Akismet or Twitter), we permit it. The catch is you have to actually explain this to the layman in your readme, so they know where data is going.
Your readme MUST validate per http://wordpress.org/plugins/about/validator/ or we will reject it. Keep in mind, we don't want to see a readme.MD. Among other things, the formatting for markup is different, and the filetype isn't read by our system.
Please create your readme one based on this: http://wordpress.org/plugins/about/readme.txt
Alternately, you can use this tool to generate one: http://tools.trepmal.com/wp-readme-generator/
Please send a link so the completed plugin can be downloaded. Alternately you can reply to this and send a .zip file. Note: We would like you to send the whole plugin, not just the readme, as we will re-review your entire code as a whole.
As this is for a new plugin request, please reply within seven days of this email or we will reject your plugin.
