FYI: I’ll be giving a talk on WordPress plugin development, covering HookPress basics as well, at the upcoming Boston WordPress meetup on September 28, 2009. I hope to use HookPress to make it a good session for non-PHP developers as well.

Great plugin… I’m using it just to find more hooks. I never was able to find a reliable list of them for programming plugins

Awesome, this is going to keep me busy for ages – a great way to leverage external scripts and services.

@wormeyman, the target audience for HookPress is people who would be writing their own scripts to process the requests. That said, the return value is not executed at all so there’s very little danger in external services doing anything harmful to your own setup, unless you use HookPress to set up webhooks for some of the low level filters such as those on WP’s SQL queries.

It would be great to use Roby or Java Servlets together with WordPress!!

Also you should probably address how insecure it is to link to an offsite file for your hook code what if they change the code to allow an XSS attack?
