Dear list, With symfony releases changing rapidly, every release a large number of the plugins become uninstallable because the maintainers are either not aware of the bump or do not have the time to test their plugins.
A culprit could be the lack of a clear path for casual users to report issues or communicate directly with plugin owners. Integration between the plugin system and trac is difficult due to trac's simplistic approach. Details such as being unable to confirm that a developers plugin username matches their trac username because of no central userlist on trac makes the process seem uncollaborated. It would seem worth a discussion on the feasibility of moving the plugins folder out of the symfony svn tree to it's own project management system such as Lighthouse or Github which offer far more flexibility for the community to report issues, interact with plugin developers and to fork and modify plugins. Many developers are undoubtedly hacking existing plugins to get them to work for their current versions of symfony, and if the development playground was more community focused developers may be encouraged to share their forked code. If nothing else, a clear path for casual users to report plugin issues to owners needs to be outlined, and encouraged.
