@Peter/Erland

I tend to favor a single thread which is sticky for nomiating new
plugins as then we can immediately see if there is new actvity on it
and all users of the forum will know where to go to nominate
something.

I agree with Erland - want to keep this simiple as it will hopefully be
replaced by some all singing and dancing Wiki solution in future and I
just want to get something up and running which works.

@Phil

Sha1 is for two things - to verify integrity of the file and to verify
its the file which you intended someone to download.  As it will be
unziped and then executed on users servers and the downloaded files may
be hosted in a variety of locations, I felt it was wise to minise the
chance of ED being used as a method of spreading malicious code.

If you use googlecode then they verify the file with a sha1 digest for
you (though you are then trusting google).  Ideally you create it
yourself.
