Do ß54 and ß57 look to blacktree for updates still? I agree that that’s best, 
if we have a way to push updates to it.

The documentation and version number exist exclusively in the plug-in’s 
`Info.plist` do they not?

So in theory, we should be able to just open that, update or add text in the 
`extendedDescription`, then manually tweak the version number to “trick” 
Quicksilver into thinking it’s worth re-downloading, right?

Thanks! That’ll help. There are a couple of updated plug-ins that are available 
from forks, but not the original. For example, 
<http://github.com/neurolepsy/blacktree-elements/downloads>. I don’t know why 
these guys don’t do pull requests, but anyway, it’s probably worth mentioning.

I still think we need something on the FAQ for the Google Group as well, 
because like I said, a lot of people won’t even know to look to the GitHub repo 
in the first place.

Don't try to tell me a thing is important to you if the whole of your “support” 
entails forcing others to spend time and money on it.
