Done. If you have further suggestions reply to this thread or add them
to this wiki page yourself.

I also suggested removing the negative rating feature. Maybe its
misused. If people don't like a plugin they should add comments telling
why.
Also have a look at a new idea e) It may or it may not take off.
I think there are that many people using vim that this could actually
make sense..
e) I'd like to see Vim making more progress. Thanks to Bram for having
added completion features. However there is more which could be done.
What's the problem? Vim is complex. Many configuration options, many
guis. So it's hard to test. You need some time getting started. Most
people just want to get done their job. So it's hard to get started in
Vim development. So what about adding a page to the homepage where
everyone can add a feature request and say he'd pay $ x for it. Someone
else might join and say he'd pay $ y for it. Then a third person steps
up and says: Hey. I'd take the money and implement it (maybe a fraction
can be given to Uganda?). Than a Vim developer can have an (probably
small ?) income and many people can benefit. Such a feature wish list
could look like:
feature | description | sum of $ which
people are willing
| | to spend on
developing a feature
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
async communication| find a way to talk to external apps. | $100 (3 people)
| This will make implementing debuggers |
| and the like feasable |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
on the fly | make scripting languages provide |
type checking | the error list |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
on :e! don't loose | |
history | |
Does a simple buildfarm exists which builds Vim in various configuration
options doing some sanity checks?
