Hi
I wonder if it would be feasible to make another control that fetches
a list of repos from a central page (even parsing out the wiki page
could work) and then once you have selected a repository, it will
fetch a list of available plugins from that repo. I was trying to add
Carsons famous manageR plugin to qgis today and didnt know where to
find it (I didnt have time to do a search for it on wiki etc) and it
sure would be nice to be able to serenipitously find plugins beyond
the official qgis repo but from within the plugin manager. Of course
there may be bad security implications to this and at some stage we
should contemplate this a bit more deeply - installing a python
plugin means you are essentially downloading and running arbitary
code and running it with all your user credentials which could be a
very bad thing indeed security wise...
Regards
Tim

Hello QGIS Python Plugin Developers,
It has come to my attention that there are quite a few of us
plugging away
at various plugins (yes that was a bit of a pun ;) ). It has also
occurred
to me that many of us are probably working on very similar
plugins, and that
we are probably duplicating development efforts! So, I suggest we
try to
maintain some sort of list where we can keep each other up-to-date
on what
we are working on, what we are having trouble with, etc. This
would also
give people an opportunity to integrate plugin development
efforts, and get
help on specific problems etc. The PythonPluginsIdeas wiki page
[1], is
already setup to do this, so perhaps we should make a conscious
effort to
use it.
[1] http://wiki.qgis.org/qgiswiki/PythonPluginIdeas
I've added a page summarizing known plugin repositories - useful for
both users seeking for plugins and developers seeking for code samples
or ideas:
