Hi Martin, yes you've right, my idea with a text/html file is just a start point, not a general request. After, it's how these metadatas will be "linked" to the plugin (a text/html/xml file inside the zip file or a filled form on the repo, ...) and how they will be displayed by the PPI... The end point is to provide more information on a plugin before it's installation. Cheers
