The old repository will be depreciated and two new ones for 1.0 (moderated and 
unofficial) are being created now. I believe Gary will manage on time and 
we'll put the rewritten plugins to the new unofficial repo. Then the most 
valuable of them will be 'certified' and moved to the official repository.

But you can't wait and now need to know which of them will be officially 
supported - so we have to appoint a small council right now. Tim? Martin? 
Carson? Barry? Paolo? We just need two or three folks to make sure that we 
can take a responsibility for the particular plugin.

What do you mean by the plugin strategy? I'll write a short description of 
Plugin Installer and packaging rules for plugin developers. It will be done 
before until this Sunday, isn't it too late?
