User Submitted Plugin Repository

[caffeinewriter]

It'd be nice to have a centralized repository, or even just a wiki page, where users who have made plugins could submit them for others to use. I know I've worked on a dozen and change myself, and the other admins on our chat instance have created even more.

For the repository, it could just be a README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, some other basic info in the root, and then a plugins/ directory, with server/ and client/ within that directory, with each plugin as a titled file. E.g. lastfm.php

Plugins could be submitted via Pull Request, allowing for code review by users, helping to prevent malicious plugins from being accepted.

Great idea ... I hate slicing apart each release to fit my "plug-ins"

I've made a group https://github.com/AJAX-Chat and I can fork your repo into there if you like. A wiki page is also possible. Github doesn't seem to have much better in the way of tools for this sort of thing though.

That's pretty awesome :+1: It kind of sucks that Github doesn't have much in the way of managing user-submitted content that doesn't factor directly in to the core code.

Some day we'll have hooks, autoloading and composer for plugins.
