Update: All In One SEO Pack has been picked up by another developer.

The news has traveled across the blogo sphere today. One of the most popular and useful WordPress plugins, “All In One SEO Pack” is no longer supported by its author, uberdose.

It is official as the announcement has been posted on the WordPress.org homepage of this plugin:

“This plugin is no longer supported or maintained.”

For now, the plugin is fully functional and compatible with the latest stable release of WordPress, 2.5.1, but since it will no longer be updated, that could change with future releases of this blogging platform.

While the news is most unfortunate for many WordPress users we could still look on the bright side of this. Now it’s the time for plugin developers out there to provide the community with a new resource, one that can make history and help us better optimize our blogs.

This is not an easy task, but like most great things, it’s not supposed to be. So, what do you think fellow developers? Are you up to the task?

The king is dead, who will rise up to the challenge?
