Hi everyone,

Regarding the proposed ideas for managing the plugin listings: I don't
like the idea of manually manging a wiki table
containing the information. Considering the vast number of plugins,
this would be an almost endless effort.

Ideally, we should try to automate as much as possible. Hakan, who did
the last plugin survey [1] has a
script which already collects plenty of information regarding the
plugins listed at dokuwiki.org. I think we should
contact him and ask him if it's possible to share his script. We could
build upon this script to create the tools
we need to do our job. I imagine that data is gathered and published
in human/machine readable form periodically
either on the dokuwiki main server or on a server of a team member (I
could offer to setup sth. on my box).

Team members could then, when time permits look at the data and "fix"
plugin pages as their time permits, but without
the additional overhead of managing tables/data for the team itself,
as this data would be updated/collected automatically.

my 0.02$ - cheers,
chi
