    So there's a plugin that I've found here on the WordPress site, and it offers some of the functionality that I'm looking for, but there are some features and features that I would like to add or improve.

    I'd like to take the plugin as a starting point, then improve it, and offer my improvements to the community. What's the protocol here?

    I believe that the plugin requirements for wordpress.org, asks that plugins be GPL compliant/compatible. Contacting the author would probably be considered a welcome courtesy if the plugin is still under active development, and then of course, credit where credit is due. Here is some very general information links to point you in the direction.

    Best wishes.
