I would like to hear your thoughts about the idea to host all the plugins in a centralized google code account. This will help in several ways: There will be a centeral place to that all the plugins can be downloaded. Contributors that made a plugin will have a place to store their plugin, not all of them (including me) has a private web storage. And updating or even update notification would be much much easier.

I'm talking about hosting the DLL's or FDZ not the source codes. If a source code is required, then why not hosting the code of the simple example plugin?
Also, there can be a different wiki page for each plugin, and it would be the author responsibility to update it.

I ones started a table of plugin's in the WIKI, but as the plugins updated I couldn't keep track any more. There where alot of compatibility and issues. I know another user updated it for some time, but I don't know how much it is up to date...

What to you think?

This is something that i have been thinking too. We can host the dll's (or maybe the fdz files are better) and the sources but we need active members to compile and publish them. We are not going to publish plugins that have been compiled someone else and don't have source code available. I think plugins that don't need more development or provide only small amount of features could be hosted by us.

Any ideas?

If only comiplation is required for already working plugins, I can do it some of the times (Sorry, but I'm a student). But I don't understand the reasons for your arguments. Why not hosting all the third party plugins, including those that just has a DLL (if the author don't want to pulish the code)?

One issue is that if there's some "official" FlashDevelop plugin section, then we are putting our stamp/seal of approval on those. That is, we are basically saying, "yes, these plugins have been heavily tested, are safe to use and that we support them". If we post all plugins, including untested, deprecated, and closed-source ones, then we may be setting ourselves up to open a can of worms.
