Hi Scott,

All? What do you mean?

Which has been the most annoying problems forcing you to create git
clones only?
If you said: "I want people to move forward and start creating forks"
I'd agree. But you didn't say it :)

Can we talk and discuss whether merging vim-addon-manager and
Pathogen makes sense?

They both somewhat have similar goals. When possible we should try to
join efforts rather than duplicating them.

What do you sync and update?
Isn't this just putting much  load on www.vim.org which I think is not
justified.

If you watched the mailinglist I offered doing something similar.
But there was not much feedback.
So I never did it.

In the end I don't care about using Pathogen or vim-addon-manager.
But I want the vim-addon-manager features. The two most important
features are:

- declarative way to specify which plugins to install / load.
  It looks like this:
  call Activate(['plugin1','plugin2'])

- a way to declare dependencies.
  This is done by adding a -addon-info.txt file.

I personal think that energy should also be spent on missing features
such as async communication. There is an incomplete patch on github ...

That's the most pressing missing feature I'd like to see.

Sincerly
Marc Weber
