Dear dev, In response to Eric's very good questions below, I have added a new section to the wiki/Addins page called 'Policies' which are a general summary of the various discussions we have had on and offline with different members of the project steering committee.
It is not by any means, however, written in stone. If you have opinions on what I've written up there or additions or modifications, please do not hesitate to bring them up... or even just directly add them to the wiki. The real idea behind the /addins directory is to provide an open space for developers who have created cool tools that are finished code and might be helpful for other developpers... but that don't quite make sense in the main trunk of the project. In that spirit, we would like to institute the least possible in terms of rules and regulations. We just want the bare minimum to ensure a basic standard for /addins so that people will take them seriously and actually take the time to use them. As always, feedback welcomed.

Are addins bound to a particular OL version? What if a addin doesn't work with trunk, can this block a release? Do we plan to have unit tests for addins ? Will they be part of OL unit tests ? Maybe these maintainance issues have already been worked out, if so I'd appreciate if someone could summarize the way we deal with that.
