It should be. I've updated them after the repo was moved. Re-reading it I guess 
the only missing things are a link to qsapp.com site & wiki.

IIRC I stopped bltrversion (the script used by the build system to update 
plugins bundle's versions) from tinkering with the plists files, on the basis 
that the developer is more aware of releases that some dumb script. So the 
point is moot in the current master branch.

The only issue left for me is ("hacked" by 
https://github.com/quicksilver/Quicksilver/commit/cee37f05c4e500691b969bb76097fc514553ce34)
 that I had to tweak the Xcode projects because of some kind of bug in Xcode 
with having projects dependent on projects dependent on the master project. 
This means you need to Build two times after a Clean (or the first time) to get 
the Quicksilver.app application to build. An easy fix would be to move all 
"core" Core, Finder, Bezel, Primer, Hotkeys) into targets of the main project.

I think it will all become easier when the update system comes back under our 
control ;-). The update level stuff ought to take care of all this (you can 
declare "release", "prerelease" (a.k.a beta) or "developer", so people could 
use the features (and crashes ;-)) they want.

If we can make sure QS runs on 10.5, then fine, but 10.7 might not be too far 
away, so it looks more logical to me to stick with 10.5 (until some rewrite 
gain enough traction ;-)).

That's not a good thing. Personally I guess I'll wait for 10.7 (or Xcode 4) to 
come out before thinking about it.
