I mean, I am not sure many users will want to register to It shouldn't be hard to find a Vim Captcha such as: In which help file do you find the description of getline() ? ;-) Prbably even something like "Copy paste the domain part of the url" will work (?). Spammers tend to be stupid. There are many ways.

Anyway code sharing should takes place. If a library really breaks your code you can still do what many projects do: Copy paste the other plugin and rename its functions. Then add it to your own project. Anyway I think code sharing must take place. It's also because code sharing and communication enhances scripts and knowledge of all participants. And this is required to keep the Vim community moving. So I see this as chance, not as failure. It's a fact that code which was written by multiple people and was reviewed tends to contain less bugs, isn't it? Moreover it can even prevent your plugins from being stuck. It does work in many communities. So why shouldn't it work here? Simple example: I'd like plugins to Register a completion func in a buffer or global list. Then I'd like to have a :ChooseOmniFunc and a :ChooseCompletionFunc command or such to switch There is no way achieving this without asking authors to support this. But maybe its only me who wants to streamline his Vim knowledge. Marc Weber
