Sounds okay. Problem arises when the original developer does something silly, like leaves the project. Okay, the source is there, but the code may be gibberish to all but the original author > 2) There will be one 'plugin mantainer' to breed one large package of the > plugins.

It would mean that the team would have to decide and that would possibly make people less willing to write code > 3) There will be one 'plugin mantainer' to breed various packages of the > plugins.

Personally (and this is still in discussion, so folks, join in), I would have one main ubermeister for the plugins. When they're accepted we (Franz and myself) can start to put them into the main script menus. The plugin ubermeister would be the barrier between us and the original coder, but at the same time would be the bod who ensures that the author sticks to the programming docs (soon to appear). The ubermeister would also be the one who creates the tgz for the rpms Oh well.
