Salutations,

I'm beginning to get a little worried.
Which I can perfectly understand :-). I'm thinking about this my self for a while... I have an idea about a plugin repository outside the Wiki (maybe connected to the same auth backend). I'll just scribble away some of my ideas how I imagine it: 

- database driven
- located at plugins.dokuwiki.org
- developers can upload plugin
- developers can upload updates to existing plugins
- maybe users can upload corrections as well
- users can comment
- user can vote: works for me with Dokuwiki version X, does not work for me with Version X - The plugin manager connects to plugins.splitbrain.org to list available plugin, and to check for updates 
- plugins can be tagged to categorize them
- probably more I just forgot
- users could easily see the health status of a plugin based onthe user votes (work/don't work) - maybe special users could even do security audits, which would give a plugin an extra point or something 
- probably more I just forgot

What do you all think of it?
Should I spend time on writing this system? Or should I use the little spare time I have to go outside looking at the sun? ;-)
