For a community plugin repo I assume that multiple authors might be involved in the development of a plugin
For the element... <author_name>Someone</author_name>
Can this be a comman separated value.
I am thinking of automaticaly generating this from an AUTHORS.txt file
Also, is there an e-mail optio we can add or what about a URL to an AUTHORS file?
Cheers
