At the moment the plugin follows the wordpress coding style, which is based on where PHP was around version 3. And although it would take forever for Wordpress to be re-done on an OO style, plugins are a different story.

What I'm getting at is that this plugin in particular would benefit greatly from being re-done in an OO style, it's approaching a size where the Wordpress coding style just makes it feel a bit messy to maintain and that generally creates for a very error-prone coding environment. Of course we all have our own preferences and what works for one might not work for another.

So I'm simply wondering whether you would be willing to re-do this project in an OO style? And by re-do I basically just mean wrapping up the current codebase in an object oriented style, cause there's nothing wrong with the code as-is.

I'm mostly asking since I'm currently planning on doing just this, seeing as I plan to use this plugin for a large scale long-term project, I'd want a piece of code that's prone to being updated and played with often to be as accessible as possible.

Let me know whether you'd be open to doing this or be willing to review an OO approach of your codebase as a pull request later on.
