Hi Richard.
I think the structure you propose is interesting, but overly complex and
perhaps too rigid. I'm worried that it will be difficult to keep it in
shape, given the low manpower we have.
I would suggest to simplify as such:
- tested and approved plugins should go to the core ASAP
- between releases plugins should go to the official repo; there should
also go approved plugins which are of specialized and limited use
- all the rest should go to a beta repo where people should be
reasonably free to upload their creatures for reviewing, testing, and as
hints for further development.
I think a wiki page about plugins, with a wishlist etc. would also be good.
BTW: I still have problems automagically installing some of the plugins;
am I the only one?
All the best.
