Nope, I really meant in terms of answering users questions. I don't understand why the gold star scale for plugins does not require answering user mails. This is bad imho. > Andrea we can reword the requirement ...

My point is that if you want to keep 5 stars and add the "supported" item to plugins, you have to coaleshe udig and geoserver tests into a single point. Besides, most of the people won't really be able to test on both, either because of time constraints (will I test postgis-versioned against uDig? very unlikely...) or because the knowledge required (the two projects use different technologies, being familiar with both enough to test a plugin in both environments is unlikely, thought not impossible).
