PMario I think you make great points.
>From my point of view there are three things I'd like to say ... 1 -- Whilst its natural that users here in this group incline to the "latest & greatest" plugin mod I'm not convinced most of the time end-users need to be interested at all if what they have is working. Why ever update if what you have works? 2 -- I do think its useful that plugins indicate the lowest TW version number they will work with. And a stable address reference in the plugin itself to check out mods if you want to. 3 -- I think at base the issue is "*informational*"--its about finding things you need. I 'd say that comes first. I think the "Plugin Library" on sites like the main one and Jed's are great. Because they are curated (I trust). Update calls in the wild--no thanks.
