Hey, great stuff you guys! I can't wait to see the result of this, it's a great idea.. and having it 'community maintainer' is really awesome as it will make it much more interactive... The problem is.. where to host the files? if we want to host them on SF.net, it needs to be uploaded by an amsn member.. if we want to just upload it to amsn-project.net, we might need Tjikkun's approval as to how it will affect the bandwidth usage... Finally, we'll probably need to have some sort of security, can't post without registring, can't update a plugin/skin if you're not the owner... Oh and Tom J. if you have too much free time, contact me on MSN, I might have something for you if you're getting bored :p
