With new users in mind, I wonder if the plugins page is really the  
resource for picking a plugin, or if they just search through the plugin  
manager for things they might need, cause it does provide the exact same  
informations as the website (minus those tags).

More important for me would be the question, which plugins are installed  
and enabled by default. And I ask the question again (I never got an  
answer on that before): Why e.g. is the Table Manager not installed and  
available by default? As ESRI shape is the major output format, a novice  
starting to use QGIS has no tool to alter the attribute table, which is  
IMHO an unnecessary obstacle.
I bet there are not few people fumbling around in the dbf before realizing  
that there is a plugin available.

Just my two cents
Bernd
