This would be a nice addition... Gary, is it possible to implement this to your plugin repository? Basically if uploaded ZIP contains a specified file, e.g. README, it will allow you to download it (without downloading the whole plugin) or view it in plugin repository web. > Another idea-balloon (sorry if I'm firing to much idea's): what if we > ask maintainers of plugins to add a blog-item for every plugin.

Actually, when uploading a plugin you can set a home page for it... isn't this exactly what you mean?
