Hey Paul,
We already have plugin search capabilities in the forge plugin. Basically I
don't think we really need the XML repo because it's so close in
functionality to what's already there. I do want to keep the idea of
plugin-groups, but maybe tags is the answer there. Just let people provide
tags that are searchable along with name and description.
Try this out in Forge and you will see what I mean: (You may want to update
and build a new snapshot.)
$ forge find-plugin *
$ forge find-plugin seam
:)
Thoughts?

Hi Lincoln,
Yes that would be a good improvement.
I think it's also good if we put the plugin browsing functionallity in the
forge plugin because now it feels a bit out of place (not sure if you wanted
to do that too). I will rewrite the code in the plugin-repo to use this.
What library do we use for yaml parsing?

Hey Paul,
It seems like we have two orthogonal plugin repositories. I'd like to start
using GitHub (have already started) to host the repository for easy
adds/updates/etc.
Do you think your plugin groups can be incorporated into what we've got
going on here?
https://raw.github.com/forge/plugin-repository/master/repository.yaml
This is where the code lives for the search and installation (you've
probably already seen it.)
