<p>Hi Admire,</p>
<p>Thank you for helping with the plugins.</p>
<p>I think we can lower the administration time, if we can enable
reviews by the users. Not just voting (that we already have), but
written reviews. Written reviews can address issues you mentioned:
<br>
</p>
<p>- Duplication of functionality. Plugin functionality already
exists in QGIS.</p>
<p>- Plugins containing binaries (and related problems)</p>
<p>- Plugins which are a fork of an existing plugin</p>
<p>- Etc<br>
</p>
<p>As an example, Wordpress has about 60k plugins [1]. The
submission process and rules are similar [2]. But the credibility
about each plugin is mostly based on user's reviews, votes and
number of downloads.</p>
<p>Basically, we already almost the same data as wordpress about
plugins, but we miss user's reviews. User's reviews can add value.<br></p></div></blockquote><div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:small">My concern here would be that we create a new problem: Having to moderate the comments.
