Hey Paul,<br><br>We already have plugin search capabilities in the forge plugin. Basically I don&#39;t think we really need the XML repo because it&#39;s so close in functionality to what&#39;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.<br>
<br>Try this out in Forge and you will see what I mean: (You may want to update and build a new snapshot.)<br><br>$ forge find-plugin *<br>$ forge find-plugin seam<br><br>:)<br><br>Thoughts?<br>~Lincoln<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
