Hi Dagen, all: Thanks for spending the time for doing the research on our behalf. And thanks to others for the feedback.
Since our website is powered by WordPress, I was trying to look for a plugin which would help us setup the repository and I came across a blog post which described the genesis of the WordPress Plugin Directory: http://wordpress.org/development/2007/03/plugin-directory/ Assuming the "plugin-directory" is plugin friendly, it would map perfectly with what we are trying to do. I am not really a WordPress user, so if anybody has any comments about their plugins directory, etc. please feel free to post them. I have emailed one of the developers listed in that blog post and am hoping for a response soon. If there is someone out there who has close ties with the WordPress community who can help speed this along, that would be great too. I guess another route is to request for help in their forums. My $0.02 for now.
