So, has anyone started a repository/listing of "non-release" plugins

this is a worthwhile idea? I'd like some other input on this; I haven't
exactly written any plugins for Cinelerra before, so could it be in fact
harder and more painful? What are the pros/cons anyone sees?
I don't think that an out-of-tree repository of plugins makes any sense. If
the plugins were provided precompiled, cinelerra would have to provide a
stable ABI (binary interface) - we are far away from that.
Ok, thanks, that answers my question.
Even if the plugins were available as source (and sure they should be because
of the GPL of cinelerra) the would need to be actively maintained in synch
with any changes in svn that may happen to affect plugins. Then there is not
much difference of having them separate or in the release tree.
I personally don't think that a stable API or ABI for plugins is a desirable
goal at this time.
