+1 for adding metadata but should more of the metadata be compulsory? JBoss tools plugin discovery uses the cordova.io registry and some of the plugins are missing a lot to. http://snag.gy/aAxjL.jpg is a screenshot that shows how the case. http://snag.gy/J8rl6.jpg is a screenshot of a few plugins that has most of its data. As you can see with the missing descriptions etc. it is not possible to do an informed decision on whether to use a plugin or not. Although information such as keywords does not seem like important it becomes quite useful when you are trying to find a certain plugin. -- Gorkem
