Yes, I admit that I've been in doubt about the specifications and I've implemented a small variation, the specs say : "there is always one or more owners for a plugin, any owner of a plugin can add new people as co-owners. Only owners are allowed to upload new versions, edit or completely remove a plugin. If the owner of a plugin disappears, a new owner could be assigned for the plugin by the admins" I saw a potential contradictory statement because "there is always one or more owner" means that cannot happen that "the owner of a plugin disappears", at least one should remain. There is also a potential problem with co-owners excluding the original uploader from owners list. So, I propose another way: the original author (the user who created the plugin) is not listed in owners but has always the same privileges of the (zero or more owners). I would change the specs to: "A plugin has always an author and zero or more co-authors. Only the author or the co-authors are allowed to upload new versions, edit or completely remove a plugin. Co-authors can be added and deleted by the author or by other co-authors" This is how the plugin app currently works, avoiding potential "orphan" plugins and original authors deleted by co-owners. I will hide the original uploader from the co-authors/co-owners select to avoid any confusion (a soft trigger is already in place to avoid having the author in owners list, even if it is probably harmless). Let me know what do you think about this modification. Thanks -- Alessandro Pasotti w3: www.itopen.it
